I own this stock at $1.91.

I don't know about you, but I get excited when I watch TV to see SSSSSSSSOOOO many automobile commercials from FORD, GM, Honda, Hyundia, Toyota, etc.

Automotive advertising is one of the broadcasting industries biggest source of income.

From listening to their last earnings call, I have concluded that I will sell my stake in SGBI sometime in Q2 2010 after reaping in the ad revenue from the Super Bowl!!!

Just like oil, advertising is cyclical - so businesses that generate most (or all) of their revenue from advertising tend to be cyclical as well. Sinclair's advertising revenue is down right now? Well EVERYBODY's advertising revenue is down right now. The best way to handle cyclical stocks in a beaten down segment is to find the one with the best chance of survival, the one that will thrive and grow more than most of its competitors when its segment recovers.

Sinclair still has a good position and a strong future when things pick back up, it's just being beaten down along with (and somewhat beyond) its peers. Buying Sinclair over the summer is comparable to purchasing Exxon-Mobil during the last period of cheap oil. I picked it on Caps and then picked up some for my real portfolio too. I'm up over 120% in about two months and it's still sporting a P/E ratio below 2. Great buy in August, pretty good buy in October. You might want to hop on this train before it gets pricier.

(Do note that I have shares in my real portfolio so if you buy now you're benefitting me. Good thing it also benefits you or this might come across as too self-serving.)
