DTV or LMDIA?

[NutFlush920]

I have $5,000 to invest into DirecTV stock. Should I buy under DirecTV group (DTV) or Liberty Entertainment Group (LMDIA)? I know Liberty just recently split off into 2 and Liberty Entertainment Group is strckly DirecTV. I assume DTV is the one I want but, want to make sure.

Thanks in advace.

Are those your only 2 choices? Not that these are bad, but I would place my money elsewhere if I was looking for an investment..

Either way, you'll be getting bought out or spun off to some other stock with Malone in the big chair.

I just like DirecTV and think they have a great product and to show my support I thought I would buy some of their stock. Only like 200 shares though with the current price of around $25/share. I think in the next 2 years there could be a good possiblity for making some money on the stock.

Really ?

Why not split between the two choices and see what happens in a few months. Then you can consolidate into the better of the two performers.

Guess I can't fault a person for trying to support a company they believe in. I believe in them as well, but was simply meaning if you were looking for towards a better return on the original $5k then why limit yourself to only looking at these two. But of these two I might go more for the DirecTV Group.

Thanks, I do have more money but I am only willing to put up $5k to DirecTV. The other funds are in other stocks and bonds.

Now the question is how much lower DirecTV's stock is going to do down. I know long term it will go up but, it went down today, is it going to go down more or is it going to go up? LOL
