ROBTV video excels, if you can get it, Wed., Sept. 28, 2005, 5:49 PM
As you know, I think ROBTV offers up some very good financial reporting and commentary. Compared to CNBC there is almost no spin!
The operative word here is "almost".
The Amanda Lang and Kevin O'Leary show is usually excellent, and there are several other ROBTV "personalities" I enjoy, including the economist Linda Nazareth.
Today's best guest as usual was Larry Berman, chief technical strategist at CIBC World Markets. I like his work.
And tonight, Lang and O'Leary had an informative discussion of the Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) hostile takeover bid for Vincor (TSX: VN). After the video is archived (the show is still on as I write), click on the ROBTV video archive for the 5:00pm show, if you can get it.
"Dear Mr. Cara,
Thank you for your email regarding the video on demand on our site. We have recently been experiencing a problem where a small number of our viewers are unable to access the video. At this time our IT specialists are looking into the problem and will have it fixed as soon as possible.
In the meantime, there are some things on your computer that may be interfering with the video on demand. I understand you are using Windows Media Player version 10. In the version 10 settings, under 'Options' and the 'Performance' tab, please ensure that 'Detect Connection Speed' and 'Use Default Buffering' are selected. Also if you have a pop-up blocker on your computer it may interfere and you could try to disable that.
Thank you for your interest in our programming.
Regards,
Kirsty March

If you are having problems getting the video archives to display, as I have been in recent days, please let Kirsty know. Maybe she can solve it.
btw, be sure to click on the links to the STX and VN above. You'll see that shareholders of companies that are the recipients of hostile bids can ring the cash register, while those of the company making the bid are typically most unhappy with the share dillution plus costs of the takeover and post-acquisition phase.
James Cramer really fell in love with this STZ stock, so in order to warn you at the time, I gave you Diageo (NYSE: DEO), which just happens to be the class act of the alcoholic beverages industry in the world. My paired trade worked out in spades. Thanks Jim.
