INVESTMENT IDEAS It's playing long in Peoria Media issues tend to anticipate a recovery, but some stocks are already over-bought By Charles Payne, principal analyst, Wall Street Strategies The media group is one that investors should watch very closely over the next several months. These stocks are known as early cyclical issues because their share price usually improves long before the broad economy does. However, other cyclical sectors have actually seen their fortunes turn in anticipation of the economy, while media stocks in general have been sluggish. Last week the big names in the group were downgraded by Credit Suisse First Boston, as much because of internal issues as because of macro conditions. Ad sales on television are now estimated to be off by 8 percent, while only a few weeks ago most industry observers thought the sales number would be off by 5 percent. In fact, for the next couple of months, it is believed that prime time spots for the networks will decrease by 30 percent. Nevertheless, if these stocks live up to their reputation and outperform up to nine months before the broad economy improves, there could be reason to discount the current bad news and look at the group as an intermediate to long- term investment.

INVESTMENT IDEAS The most recommended stocks on Wall Street Analysts look to old economy stocks for profits now By Thomas J. Ryan, equity research columnist A handbag manufacturer, a regional health insurer and a used-car dealer make for a motley crew, but they all rank among Wall Street's most- recommended stocks. What all three companies--Coach (COH), WellPoint Health Networks (WLP), and Copart (CPRT)--have in common is a proven ability to grow sales and earnings, especially during downturns. The picks underscore Wall Street's efforts to search across sectors to find clear winners in today's recessionary climate.
