  Julia Boorstin submits:

  CNBC.com

  More data equals more money. It's a pretty failsafe rule in the word of marketing. The more information you give advertisers on exactly who is really watching your ad, the more you can charge for the ad time. But marketers haven't been able to make use of the second-by-second data on exactly who's watching what until now.

• Nine Media Predictions for 2009

  (Tue, 02 Dec 2008 09:21:45 -0500)

  Julia Boorstin submits:

  Media faces a perfect storm in 2009—transitioning to a challenging new digital world and a very weak economy. Media giants will continue to move from traditional content distribution models to anytime, anywhere, content-on-demand. While building new digital revenue streams, they face a dramatic pullback in consumer spending, which means advertising threatens to fall off a cliff. Can entertainment prove recession resistant?

  Here are my nine predictions for 2009:

• Free TV Slams Media Companies

  (Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:04:52 -0500)

  Diane Mermigas submits:

  The recessionary holiday shopping season will teach us a few things about consumers and their digital ways. Many will do more with the gadgets they have than buying the latest big-screen TVs and smart phones. They will learn to be satisfied with free content. There will be consumption without monetization.

  Amid the worst consumer confidence and negative GDP in decades, and an economic recession unprecedented in its depth, people are finding more ways to consume their favorite music, movies and videos without paying for it. That trend will adversely impact the balance sheets of media and entertainment companies...

• Broadway's Recession Plan for Tough Times

  (Tue, 02 Dec 2008 03:29:08 -0500)

  Julia Boorstin submits:

  The Great White Way is facing a long, cold, and very challenging winter. Broadway tickets are pricey and sure to be hit by the economic downturn. Ticket sales and attendance at Broadway shows started slipping in mid-October, no surprise.

  A number of big, award-winning shows, including "Hairspray," "Spamalot" and "Young Frankenstein" are set to close in January. Though projections for the holiday season have remained relatively strong, the period between January and March, which is always a weak time, is only going to be bleaker this coming year. This morning I spoke exclusively with the head of...

• Fast Money Recap - GM and Ford Go to Washington (11/28/08)

  (Sun, 30 Nov 2008 08:29:38 -0500)

  Fast Money Recap, Friday November 28

  Is the Economy Shaping Up?

  The last five days has seen the biggest gain in the Dow and the S&P 500 since 1933; the S&P 500 closed over 12% higher on the week, and the Dow climbed 10%. Joe Terranova and Dennis Gartman felt hopeful that things were looking up, but Jeff Macke chimed in sarcastically that being a Socialist is good for a trade. He might buy GM and Citi on the short-term news of a bailout, although he expects the companies to eventually go bankrupt. Terranova warned that the beginning of December tends to...

• China's Shrinking Manufacturing Sector

  (Wed, 26 Nov 2008 07:41:01 -0500)

  How will clothing manufacturers be impacted from the changes in China's manufacturing industry? Those and other notable trends from The Children’s Place Inc.'s Q308 conference call:

  China:

  Unfavorably... we have less supply, as many of the factories, particularly those in southern China, have closed or suspended their operations; we have some higher labor costs in China due to new labor laws; we have some higher costs of environmental initiatives and higher cost of capital financing for some of these factories.

  
  Paul Kedrosky submits:

  The current economic crisis may finally cause an overdue day/week/month/year of reckoning among the major U.S. television networks. Consider the following snippet from Variety about how the networks have gotten away with things far longer than anyone expected:

  "I've been doing this for 30 years now, and that same question has been asked for 30 years: At what point does the audience get so small that advertisers won't show up?" says Fox Networks Group chairman Tony Vinciquerra. "It hasn't gotten there yet."

• Dow Member Changes Since the 10/02 Low

  (Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:34:00 -0500)

  Hickey and Walters (Bespoke) submit:

  The Dow Jones Industrial Average is still about 15% above the bear market closing low on October 9th, 2002, but half of the index's current members are now down since then.  Below we highlight each Dow member's percentage change since 10/9/02.  As shown, McDonald's (MCD) is up the most at 241%, followed by Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), and Caterpillar (CAT).  Surprisingly, financial giant JP Morgan (JPM) is also one of the best performers with a gain of 108%.

  General Motors (GM) is, not surprisingly, down the most since...
