Commentary: Worst week? Almost worst month, ever

October 28, 2008 Fortunately, for those of us whose 401(k)s are tied up in entertainment stocks, we've fared slightly better than the broader averages this month -- unless, of course, you've been banking on the big media conglomerates, all of which have crashed further than the S&P 500. Disney has lost 22.1%, followed by Time Warner (-23%), News Corp. (-23.8%), Viacom (-27.7%), Sony (-28.8%) and CBS (-39.4%). Most significant, because they were called stocks to own in both scenarios (severe or mild recession), were Google and Regal Entertainment Group.
