Buy-Window Remains Open on Lions Gate (LGF)
5 March 2010; market closed (The previous issue was broadcast on 2/26/10)
Preemptive Profit-Positioning: Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (LGF NYSE): $5.51 X $5.54 Vancouver-based Lions Gate Entertainment is the largest of the independent motion picture studios and also includes a Television Production business segment and a Media Networks business segment. On 26 February 2010, I announced a preemptive buy-signal on Lions Gate Entertainment (LGF) at the $5.38 per share range. I am now reiterating the company as a Strong-Buy at current price levels. If you have not done so already, I am recommending that LGF positions be immediately established. In addition to the merits outlined in our previous two weekly issues, Lions Gate announced this week that it will deploy an interactive brand channel – utilizing “thisMoment’s” social media platform – across YouTube, Facebook, and MySpace. The partnership with “thisMoment” will soon be powering what’s being called the first truly connected, interactive channel across multiple social environments – which will also include tie-ins with Twitter and Google. We see Lions Gate as being on the cutting edge of an emerging interface between the film and media industries and the social Internet landscape, which comprises hundreds of millions of active users. This focus on creating a unique real-time relationship with online audiences should prove lucrative to Lions Gate shareholders as the company explores the full potential of this innovative interface. Lions Gate Entertainment (LGF) remains a Buy; there is no protective sell-stop in place on this trade.
