Pulp and Circumstance for Local Newspapers
Investors doubt local papers amid the Internet but content remains hard to replace. Many papers run daily updated Web sites and the Washington Post, New York Times, and Dow Jones push online reach and ads. Dow Jones and The Washington Post lead in new media, stocks near three year highs, while online classified ads pose a challenge. Flexible outlook may reveal big opportunities in the Internet era.

Understanding Stock Dilution and EPS Impact
Dilution occurs when a company issues more shares lowering value of existing shares. For example, 100 million shares at $50 becomes 110 million at $45 each, reducing price unless new funds boost earnings. Investors should seek understanding of EPS basic versus diluted and beware financing that destroys long term value.

My Dumbest Investment Missed It by That Much
A reader recounts a stock investment where a missed dividend led to frantic broker calls and a rushed sale. He refused to sell, then set a buyback at $20, but the price fell briefly to $20.50 before rebounding to the mid $40s, costing him a major gain. An editor notes the caution to understand why payments are missed and to resist broker pressure.
