Time Warner, Inc. (TWX)

no growth. no new ideas. No buzz. Nothing new. Its just stagnant. Everyone's forgotten about them

Because I have A lot of them!!!!!!

History is not on Time Warner's side. Set to initiate a reverse stock split, typically companies that do such underperform the broad market for a few years after the split. This surely doesn't bode well for Time Warner.

This is almost purely a personal experience pick. I used to get cable from Adelphia. Time Warner, two years ago or so, bought out Adelphia's assets in my area and thus we switched to Time Warner. In that time period, we have had to worry about losing major TV stations (recently, CBS, and extremely recently, all of Viacom's stations, which weren't removed because they came to an agreement at the last minute) at least four times. Their recent removal of stations from Erie, PA (as part of their agreement with the CBS provider in my area, we suspect, although it was stated to be on the basis that "customers wanted them removed because they were 'redundant' stations") have decimated the basic cable lineup and have mildly affected the digital cable lineup. Adelphia was bad, especially at customer service, but Time Warner, like Comcast, has a special ability to piss off customers again and again and again.

Everyone knows that AOL is basically worthless at the moment, which would explain why they're desperately trying to sell it off. There are simply much better products out there than their TV and internet offerings, namely FiOS, which I expect will gradually siphon off some of Time Warner's market share as their more savvy consumers get fed up with them. I don't know anyone who uses their phone service. Their filmed entertainment division is really the only thing that's very successful, and that alone is not enough to make up for their shortcomings in everything else.

From what I can see, Time Warner will be nothing more than Warner Bros. soon enough. Everything else they offer is a fossil. Verizon and AT&T are the only major communications companies that are offering true 21st century technologies, such as fiber optics or mobile phone service. Unless Time Warner finds a way to transport itself from 1996 into 2009, this dog's going nowhere.

I don't know...I have mixed feeilngs about Time Warner, but overall I think they're headed for disappointment. The company has proven that it's not the smoothest run of all possible companies, and their market share might be the only thing that keeps them going. It'll be interesting to see what the future holds, but I'm going thumbs down on them.

Just can't seem to get its act together

Time Warner Inc has issued a bearish signal based on the Convergence-Divergence of two moving averages. TWX moved to "MACD red", is in a downtrend, and is likely to fall in price.

I heard that their customer service left a lot to be desired

trying a couple experiments, which hopefully wont mess up my whole portfolio. trying to follow the downtrend.

moving up waiting for deal in nyc

Ever since they mergered with aol they have done nothing but lose in the market, they need to get someone in there who has a bigger outlook for the company. They need to promote the things that were being done before that time.

look for this stock to continue to underperform in the coming year. there are just too many divergent businesses that weigh the whole down. cable is reaching saturation, publishing is not a growth business and filmed entertainment is unpredictable. not to mention the whole AOL uncertainty. it's a shame that such a profitable company is judged solely on growth because it is a success story from an outsider's perspective.

Company to big they need to shed some assets

had stock for 7 years, did great at first then the AOL Time Warner thing!

down market

TWX hasn't yet recovered from the AOL fiasco. Its CATV service is a disaster that will require a lot of cash to fix.

A company that cannot figure out how to make its pieces work together

the aol arm of the company is lossing customers
and the free web products arent liviing up to company promises

The only way to unlock value in TWX is to spin off AOL. Time Warner will continue to drag their feet on this necessary move and AOL will continue to struggle to compete against Yahoo & Google.
