My Perspective
I'm already a shareholder of Time Warner Inc so my strategy is pretty straight forward. I own it and I continue to buy additional shares on any pullbacks in the price of the stock. As always, I also use dividend reinvestment and options sales to increase the number of shares that I own. I'm also up front about my desire to own stock in just about any successful entertainment company because I believe more and more of the average household budget will be spent on entertainment in the future.
As any investor can see, this company is one of the great entertainment creators, developers, and producers. It fits well into the type of companies I like to own and the fundamentals are extremely compelling. I intend to own these (and more!) shares for as long as people want to be entertained. And that's going to be a long time!
