Comcast Corp (CMCSA)

Size in the industry, potential growth, good cash position and flow. EBITDA is favorable.

Products like this have fallen off in economic downturn and should make a come-back as the economy recovers.

comcast continues to have large quanities of out dated equipment and it middle and upper management have poor atitudes towards

customer satisfaction and support.

1/18 in Cable & Satellite -(63.4@B+/A+)

Panic pushed the price down. Upside volatility alone makes it a good bet to harvest a winner.

great internet speed, voice, cable, revenue increasing

Has been a laggard, but should begin to see earnings improve and with this, price appreciation.

New federal regulations for digital TV will make many decide to have trouble free cable instead of antenna upgrades and problems

Here are the reasons I like Comcast.

1. On Demand is by far the best entertainment platform, I've tired them all.

2. Comcast is entering the wimax market with Clearwire, which will position them to take advantage of the smart device and netbook market that should continue it's massive growth. They already have much of the infrastructure for this from the broadband operations.

3. They are actively working on being the first cable provider to market with online tv and entertainment. I think Comcast sees the writing on the wall in regards to the telvision and the computer becoming a singular platform. We may have gigantic flat screen monitors in the future, but it's all going to run through the computer... wirelessly via home hubs.

4. The switch to digital cable. Now most people already had cable service and a lot of them had comcast. However those people who have comcast (myself included) and have multiple TV's but only one cable box are finding that they are no longer receiving channels on their tv sets not hooked up the an actual cable box. What this means is that they will now need to at least get a basic cable box converter for the other tv sets in their house. The extra cable boxes are 9.99 a month in my area. That's an additional revenue stream from an existing client base. That is HUGE.

5. In my personal opinion I believe that Comcast will be looking to aquire or partner with a wireless phone carrier, like um... Sprint. This would put them into the game heavily against verizon and att. And would give them further ability to offer package bundles to consumers allowing greating price flexibility to generate new customers and retain those already with them without cutting into their margins terribly.

6. Comcast has begun to show a greater acceptance for the new age of media and broadband use. See bittorent for example.

I grew up in Philadelphia. I can't F&$^@ng stand this company. I can't wait to see Verizon to run them out of there home town

Kramer made good case and tele is the new infrastucture

I think it will spike after digital conversion while folks take advantage of intro offers, then tank, when they see where they can get digital for free. Buy, go short and say bye.

Soon we'll have both Tivo and real high speed internet... Both good news for current Comcast subscribers and nice selling points for new ones... Get in near $14 before the digital switch this month then go long.

There are these 3 companies ATT,Comcast and Verizon which have ample of funds and customer base to rake in a good profit every quarter. These companies do hire a lot of people.

While I like FiOS, the cust. service is awful and Comcast has made great strides (in raising the price to the lazy TV/Net/Phone addicted USA). I started buying around 13 and kept buying as it sunk down. CMCSA is now the 3rd telco to boot. I don't understand why they don't incorporate a SIRI or Apple like product sooner than later to boost profits further. New Sony partnership in the new Philly Tower...more content...wireless to TV..ethernet ports on new TV's.......it's Paradise. Don't miss it.

Cost is too expensive in this economy.

Just cancelled my Comcast TV service. Hulu.com and comedycentral.com made their service unnecessary, and I'm tried of paying for channels I never even watch.

cash flow machine - decent subscriber valuation metrics and roberts are astute managers. benefit comes from family nesting in short run

Verizon Fios is big but Comcast is cheaper. More people don't care about cutting back on their television till they are REALLY hard pressed = less business for this? It is really a toss up.
