Kelly,

One of the problems with DVD related stocks is that, with rare =
exception, the companies are not exclusively serving that particular =
market. That means their sales and earnings will be diluted by other =
more mature product lines. When I view a group of stocks that may move =
based on some broad-based theme, I do so only to build background. =
Ultimately, when the leaders start to move, you will see them =
demonstrate their leadership via fundamental and technical indicators, =
showing that institutions are being drawn to the stocks. Until then, =
however, an exercise such as this is useful for building a mental =
database and a context for potential stock movement, but nothing more. A =
value investor would dig deep and find hidden value, purchase and then =
wait (hopefully) for others to be attracted to the stock. CANSLIMers, =
however, do no such thing. When the stock is ready to move, it will move =
and flash "hey-look at me" signs in bright neon colors.

  Katherine,

  Well- the answer may be that no one is making money in DVD's (at least =
not yet). I did a cursory run down of DVD distributors, equipment =
manufacturers, piracy solutions makers, etc. with sales growth of 20% or =
more and assets of $50M or more. The list is short and when you look at =
the IBD overall score- well, let's just say that WON isn't a fan. Most =
of the stars (if we can call them that) are traded outside the states. =
Oh well- I still think there's something to be had there (especially =
with Circuit City moving exclusively to DVD offerings over VHS) but I =
can't figure out what. For spreadsheet: =

    Kelly,

    I'm not intimately familiar with all the names under this =
macrotheme, but in general, I'd say that the shift to DVD-based =
entertainment has been substantial and any time there is a secular shift =
in technology, there are real profits to be had. In this case, I think =
the profits are spread around very well between all industry sectors. =
(but as with all technologies, those with the proprietary elements get =
the lion's share of the profits)  DVD prices are still quite high, =
though I noticed at Christmas, for the first time, that the prices of =
DVD players had dropped substantially, indicating that demand is =
reaching critical mass. That means that the lower prices make DVD =
players more affordable (scarcity becomes abundance), people replace =
and/or supplement their VCR's with DVD's, and then demand for DVD media =
becomes larger. That snowballs throughout the supply chain. Still up for =
grabs are implementations of DVD recording standards established =
somewhat recently....that could start a whole new chain of events.

    I'd been disinclined to compare DVD's to PCs....the former early in =
its adoption life cycle, the latter late in its business life cycle =
(maturity phase, though arguably not yet in the decline phase).

        For starters:

        -DVD distributors such as DISK, HDL etc
        -Retailers such as AMZN, BBY etc

of DVD based games, etc.

            Hi Kelly,

            The '87 crash was considerably different....far more an =
event than a process as is the current Bear which is undoing the =
excesses of the late '90's. At that time, cocktail conversations rarely =
included talk of stocks, but on Black Monday...people who didn't even =
know what the stock market was all about were gathered around the TV at =
lunch time. In retrospect, the Fed's quick intervention and the =
adjustments to program trading guidelines made this a blip on the bull =
market screen, so the "throwing in the towel" talk was far more =
short-lived than now. Most folks investing these days know little of =
what creates value and perceived value in the stock market. Even fewer =
are students of market history. But I'd bet the same conversations could =
be heard in the 30's and the 60's. Sometimes the best way to *really* =
learn it is to live it.

            Besides, we're bored to tears..... :)) But I *am* enjoying =
the time off to pursue summer reading...throw away novels of little =
consequence, mindless fluff ....ah, what a pleasure!

              At the risk of being corny, I thought I'd dig up some =
quotes from the movie
              "Wall Street" (because Hollywood tells us everything we =

              "The main thing about money, Bud, is that it makes you do =

              "Stop going for the easy buck and start producing =

others."=20

              "Stick to the fundamentals.  That's how IBM and Hilton =

              "There are no shotcuts.  Quick-buck artists come and go =
with every bull

markets."

              "You're on a roll, kid.  Enjoy it while it lasts, becuase =
it never does."

              and, of course...

              "Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at =
him. At that

him out of the

              Of course, the movie is packed with many more "bullish" =
quotes, but those
              will have to wait for another day.

    DVD players more affordable (scarcity becomes abundance), people =
