this lady doesn't stop media rise. media up 2 days already, so today drop also normal. btw if you know what's Morgan thinking then you are called Morgan Felicia already
this para in the article that reads "If RevAsia is good business, the owner would not sell." as for the rest of the article, it's up to an individual's interpretation. there are always 2 sides of a coin. the glass can be seen as half full or half empty.. but one thing for sure, print media industry is not a sunrise industry. many US based news papers also folded even after 100 years of business. the media industry needs to innovate & use social media to stay relevant
Facebook buy whatapps for over a billion dollar - whatapps is making money?
Sometimes it is not about making money, but fitting in to complete the whole portfolio which add value to core operation.
2ndly, Huffington Post sell to AOL for USD 315 million. That is to complete AOL portfolio and also AOL existing resources and channel can bring Huffington Post to another level.
Facts doesn't lie, AOL sold to Verizon for usd 4.4 billion..
Felicity gives fair opinion on Media, there is always things to learn from his article, and he is not in the position to push up or down stock price to benefit himself. Like.
Very good article written by felicity. I also can't remember when was the last time i watch those biased news from our mainstream media. The movies and dramas are all outdated; except those reality shows.
I liked her article coz there are somethings i agree with. Media is really managed by a big bunch of idiots and i took notice coz one of my friends in a senior position was strongly promoting Media as a buy for his research house at 1.15-1.20 level on the basis on 'election stock' and monopoly for all the outdoor advertising including ALL the MRTs apparently.
I almost bought into it but got turn off buying a stupid business from Rev Asia at a ridiculous valuation. I hear what some people are saying about US comparables ( e.g. AOL example ), but this is Malaysian market so local market dynamics cannot be ignored and have you actually been to any of those sites that Media paid 100m+ for ? Rojaklah,etc is definitely not a Huffington Post in my honest opinion.
But the point is on what i learnt about equity that it is all a factor of price. At the current price i think its still attractive and if it drops further below 60 i would considering buying. MEdia is a good speculative play at this level but definitely dont bet your live savings here.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
