Although the company has a $150 million fund it could use to offset any related shareholder litigation, the fact remains that pre-merger Time Warner shareholders sold their company on the basis of seemingly suspect information, which could create a fairly large court room problem down the road." --------------------------------------------------------------------- PrimeTime Players --------------------------------------------------------------------- Close Pts. + % Chg 52-Week BLS 25.50 0.38 1.51 % 24.46 - 28.96 CVC 29.25 - 0.34 - 1.15 % 16.13 - 31.64 CHTR 1.44 0.03 2.13 % 1.23 - 4.95 CMCSA 33.55 - 0.17 - 0.50 % 26.25 - 34.36 CSGS 15.98 0.01 0.06 % 14.02 - 21.215 DTV 14.49 - 0.02 - 0.14 % 14.21 - 18.81 DISH 28.72 0.18 0.63 % 26.95 - 34.91 GMSTE 4.13 - 0.02 - 0.48 % 3.97 - 7.16 GE 35.50 0.00 0.00 % 28.88 - 37.75 ICCI 11.87 0.04 0.34 % 7.83 - 12.10 IACI 21.70 - 0.25 - 1.14 % 19.16 - 34.62 L 10.33 - 0.10 - 0.96 % 8.33 - 11.45 LBTYA 44.27 - 1.30 - 2.85 % 28.60 - 47.70 MCCC 6.32 - 0.08 - 1.25 % 5.06 - 8.55 MSFT 24.18 0.19 0.79 % 23.9599 - 30.20 MOT 14.95 - 0.04 - 0.27 % 13.83 - 20.89 MBND 1.35 0.03 2.27 % 0.96 - 2.70 NNDS 35.65 - 0.05 - 0.14 % 19.60 - 40.00 NWS 17.67 - 0.23 - 1.28 % 15.305 - 19.41 NXTL 28.29 0.02 0.07 % 21.18 - 30.50 OUTD 14.29 0.24 1.71 % 12.50 - 19.30 PAX 0.61 0.03 5.17 % 0.48 - 4.00 PIO 18.66 - 0.25 - 1.32 % 17.11 - 30.85 Q 3.80 0.03 0.80 % 2.56 - 4.86 SBC 23.40 0.36 1.56 % 22.98 - 27.29 SFA 27.70 0.04 0.14 % 24.61 - 36.50 SIRI 5.42 0.14 2.65 % 2.01 - 9.43 FON 22.64 0.08 0.35 % 16.83 - 25.80 TWX 17.84 - 0.21 - 1.16 % 15.41 - 19.90 TIVO 5.60 - 0.13 - 2.27 % 3.45 - 10.10 UCOMA 9.54 - 0.26 - 2.65 % 5.80 - 10.23 VZ 34.91 0.45 1.31 % 34.13 - 42.27 VIA 35.46 - 0.41 - 1.14 % 32.56 - 42.32 DIS 27.78 0.00 0.00 % 20.88 - 29.99 XMSR 30.45 2.41 8.59 % 20.35 - 40.89 ===================================================================== For all the industry critical news - see: The BRIDGE War Room - http://www.mbc-thebridge.com/research.cfm SkyREPORT - http://www.skyreport.com SkyRETAILER - http://www.skyretailer.com The BRIDGE - http://www.mbc-thebridge.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- -To modify your subscription to The Evening Bridge, visit http://www.mbc-thebridge.com/register.cfm We welcome your comments and suggestions.
