RE:RE:RE:Back to 12 centsI like the music division, doubt it's received much of YOO focus, money or promotioin, yet seems to grow organically, and across borders. Have to think new ceo is adv focused, thus, possibly, not appreciating growth potential of music, and piggyback possibilities, leading to 'easy' decision to sell....which instinctively I think would be an error. Happens more often than one realizes...happened with Revlon years back, new owner sold small new extra biz and kept the cosmetics side, the vastly larger part; years later, the cosmetics side is shyte, but the part they divested...it's worth 30 billion ( think it was lab testing or some such). I say hold all three divisions, nuture all, and hold off on divestment decisions for a couple of years. I like having three viable businesses, kinda like having a three legged stool....safe to sit on, solid.
One last thought, we borrowed the money to do the adv deal; let profits from the adv deal pay off the loan....reasonable?
