If AOL is going to become a powerhouse again, it needs to return to growth. This is a first step.

Unless we hear of some material deviation from the results already shown us -- business conditions are so aligned with expectations that there is no surprise.

He was marginalized ... by the company's refusal to lend any semblance of truth to the economic reality that Reyes discussed.

It attracts a lot of eyeballs. Their distribution on UPN has made it an even more powerful platform. Its robustness is pleasantly surprising. If any company can make a football league work, they can.

The quarterly results showed signs that the eBay platform is aging.

What it is that attracts people is that they're irreverent. In today's world of polished branding campaigns and well-thought-out strategies, they're a little bit fresh. That is very appealing to the average American, especially to the young male.

The question really comes down to how long could it take.

As the media business evolves, and companies are looking to mix both content with distribution, Disney must make some changes.

These are unbelievably strong earnings. This may be the strongest quarter that I've seen Disney put out in the last two years.

Oil could further squeeze operating margins through free- shipping promotions.

Any recommendation that is positive from the commission is very important for the company.

As long as Yahoo continues to meet or exceed projections, shares should trade higher. The stage is set for sentiment to improve.

Amazon is widely expected to post strong (fourth-quarter) revenue, but margins may be more of an issue. Intense price competition, technology investments and increased shipping cost subsidization may create an uninspiring 4Q report.

They may take the $30 rise in the stock price as an unexpected end of quarter bonus. It helps a lot of portfolios. But in order to book that gain, they'd have to sell into the strength.

They are talking about a deliberate rollout, and that means late.

For a company that now has the status of being added to the S&P 500, they need to tighten up and do it in a hurry. They should be offering financial guidance, which will reduce volatility for the shares. The shares will be in a lot of retirement funds. They need to tighten up.

It looks like CBS is putting the 'Victoria's Secret Fashion Show' in a bit of dead spot on Wednesday night. On CBS it replaces 'Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire,' which CBS pulled after five episodes. On NBC, it's competing with 'Law & Order,' which is a good counter but not terrific.

This is likely to be the first of many filings. Once they determine what the assets and the cash flow of the other units are, it's reasonable to expect the parent company to file for bankruptcy as well.

It's refreshing. They have changed the rules for information retrieval, but it's hard to change the rules on Wall Street.

Comcast would be a monolithic and powerful distribution house with a lack of content. QVC and the Golf Channel don't do it for me and Disney is content rich.

The margins continue to be the problem and will always be the problem. Plain old e-commerce is a difficult business with razor-thin margins.

The company missed at the revenue line and reported what you would characterize as a messy quarter, which is not altogether unexpected due to the economic environment. Nobody is immune to broader economic trends.

The company is executing quite well ... but there's nothing that made me jump out of my seat and scream 'Yahoo!'.
