Rock Bottom Revisited: WMG Hits Another All-Time Low...

Warner Music Group (WMG) sank to another all-time low on Wednesday, despite a broader gain on the Dow.  At the bell, shares of WMG slumped 2.48 percent to $2.36, based on a potent mix of fundamental issues and broader market fear.  That beats an earlier low of $2.40, established November 17th, though midday trading suggests potentially lower valuations ahead.  Shortly after markets started trading, Warner slipped to just $2, an nadir unthinkable just months ago.

On a broader scale, Wall Street notched upward on Wednesday, though the Dow is still recovering from a near-700 point drop on Monday.  A continued flurry of negative news continued to slap traders, though a flicker of optimism produced a modest gain.  By the bell, the DJIA inched upward 2.05 percent, or 172.60 points, to land at 8,591.69.

Elsewhere, music stocks were mixed.  Apple (AAPL) climbed 3.71 percent to $95.90; The Orchard (ORCD) gained 2.08 percent to $2.45; Ticketmaster Entertainment (TKTM) dropped a penny to $4.02; Live Nation (LYV) gained 9.71 percent to $4.18; and Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) shed 3.46 percent to a lowly 17 cents.
