Excellent 4 months of accumulation since the last pop. This baby is a sleeping giant. Decent volume will send this up $1.00 practically overnight where we will meet resistance from the Massive Action we saw in June. If we get get through that, who knows where we will go!

Wow nice green...

Martha Stewart Jumps on Takeover Speculation
http://blogs.barrons.com/stockstowatchtoday/2015/06/18/martha-stewart-jumps-on-takeover-speculation/?mod=yahoobarrons&ru=yahoo

Good volume. Nice move upward

Nice steady move upward

MSO stock price holding steady while the the majority of stocks are lower. For the next three months MOS stock will have a difficult time holding at the current level .

MSO stock price drifting lower after negative post!

MSO stock price seems to be range bound. IMO MSO stock will head lower as we approach early fall.

... go figure! oem

MSO stock price seems to drift lower from here until a buying opoortunity occurs around SEPT/OCT/NOV time frame.

I tend to agree with you. Merchandizing is not going up as fast as Publishing is going down.
And yes, Under $2.50 is quite possible.
Will wait a bit (eg: May) before buying again.
g.p.

MSO losses continue as the stock price also slumps! IMO MSO stock price wiil continue go lower, perhaps, hitting $2.20 again.
Revenue is slipping in the publishing sector while merchandise revenue is up.

MSO CHART

Victimized her for racist comments made a decade ago.

What DID the Media do
last year that was so shameful?
Up slightly...
g.p.

Im glad to see stock back UP. It was a shame what the media did to her last year.

MSO stock price broke supposedly support level of $3.85 and may decline even further as investors become disappointed with earnings.

THE STREET QUOTE!
"We rate MARTHA STEWART LIVING OMNIMD (MSO) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, compelling growth in net income and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that revenues have generally been declining."

Martha Stewart Sold MSO 83333 shares around the beginning of April 2014! MSO investors should take note because MSO share price has declined since!

MSO IN COURT AGAIN!?
"New York-based Age Group, which manufactures and licenses products for distribution, sued Martha Stewart Living last year in state court in Manhattan for breach of contract and other claims."
April 15, 2014 NEW YORK POST"A lawsuit claiming Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia tried to undercut a business partner’s relationship with pet products retailer PetSmart can proceed, a New York state judge ruled Monday"
Now What!? MSO management can't seem to keep the company out of dangerous situations! Another overhanging block cloud until this is resolved IMO.

I tend to agree with your last. eom

MSO broke down to the $3.85 support level today. IMO MSO will continue it's downward spiral to perhaps $3.00 in the next three months.

MSO trending down and down!

MSO stock continues be clobbered by the sell off. The slow retail environment is not helping as well. Don't look for any pick up until later in the year.

MSO stock price has recently demonstrated weakness! IMO MSO stock price will go back down over the course of the year to about $3.00. This will then provide another buying opportunity for market timers.

MSO IMO will see slow sales as the main holiday seasonality buying has come and gone. More than likely going forward MSO will see reduced sales as pressure begins again to reduce costs, etc.

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Results
PR Newswire Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc.
2 minutes ago
NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. (MSO) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013. The Company reported net income for the fourth quarter of $7.0 million and net loss for the full year of $(1.8) million.

"We ended the full year with a $54.5 million improvement in Operating Income from the prior year. In the fourth quarter just completed, growth in Merchandising was offset by anticipated lower revenues from Publishing which was expected due to the restructuring that took place in the prior year to reduce our print title count from four to two," said Dan Dienst, Chief Executive Officer. "As promised, we also took some aggressive and important steps in the last quarter of 2013 to align our cost structure with marketplace realities and more importantly to become nimbler, more efficient, generators of ideas, inspirations, content and product. We also promised to put to bed several pieces of notable and distracting litigation, and we did so." Mr. Dienst continued, "With some of the best, brightest and most passionate employees in our business lines – all of whom have embraced our new way of chasing opportunities as One Company - we are very excited about the groundwork we will lay in 2014 for tapping our esteemed brand's fullest potential."

Fourth Quarter 2013 Summary

Total revenues were $47.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $56.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 as the 2012 publishing restructuring resulted in lower revenues partially offset by growth in Merchandising.

Total operating income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $5.9 million compared with $1.4 million in the prior-year period.

Basic and diluted net income per share was $0.12 for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $0.02 for the fourth quarter of 2012.

Full-Year 2013 Summary

Total revenues were $160.7 million in 2013, compared to $197.6 million in 2012.

Total operating loss for the full year 2013 was $(1.9) million compared to an operating loss of $(56.4) million in 2012. Included in 2012 results was a $(44.3) million non-cash impairment charge reflecting the write-down of goodwill related to the Company's publishing segment.

Net loss per share was $(0.03) for the full year 2013, compared to a net loss per share of $(0.83) in 2012.

MSO stock intraday has broken the $4.00 mark. Super Stock Screener has rated MSO a STONG SELL.

MSO stock appears to have price support of around $3.70. If MSO stock price breaks through the $3.70 level the next support level would be around $3.00 a share. Looking just at the East Coast weather it seems like there isn't going to be much consumer buying of MSO products until spring if even then. With the Chinese mfg slowdown and the discontinuing of employment insurance for over a one million individuals we might be entering a cautionary period for investors for the next quarter or so.

MSO stock current price is holding above $4.00. Perhpas,MSO stock might move up when the next quarterly report comes out. Doesn't seem like the stock will move much more to the upside! It is a wait and see time right now.

MARTHA STEWART LIVING (NYSE:MSO)
"Smart Scan Chart Analysis confirms that a strong uptrend is in place and that the market remains positive longer term. Strong Uptrend with money management stops. A triangle indicates the presence of a very strong trend that is being driven by strong forces and insiders."

I stand corrected: Retreated from it's high! LOL

Fallen back since 1/2/2014? You're jesting! eom

MSO stock has been moving up from it's low of $2.20 on 10/9/2013 to where it made a new high on 1/2/2014 and has since fallen back!

UPDATE: "Macy's settles lawsuit with Martha Stewart
23 hours 42 minutes ago - Dow Jones News
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Macy's Inc. said on Thursday that it's settled its "breach-of-contract" lawsuit against Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO). It said the terms of the settlement are confidential and aren't deemed to be material to the company. It also said the settlement doesn't affect its lawsuit with J.C. Penney Co. as the legal dispute is still pending a decision from the court. Both Macy's (M) and Penney (JCP) spokespersons declined to provide any more details and said it's not clear when the judge would make a decision."

THERE are no differences in our approach to investing in stocks. We both want to profit from investing in stocks. Your exuberence concerning NRTI overshadowed some fundamentals that I thought were important to keep in mind. Namely,overhanging warrants and some dilution of stock that was used to pay for some services, etc. It appears that it was considerably disappointing for NRTI stock holders that the announcements as of late had no impact on the stock price whatsoever. Meanwhile, MSO stock price seems to be holding steady around $4.00. Unless, there is some announcement regarding a buyout I don't see MSO moving much further to the upside unless there is something else going on behind closed doors.

NONE!

Has this company any relation to MSO? eom

MSO investors that followed MSO stock up to $4 and change might want to look at VERSO PAPER CORP (VRS). VRS has recently restructured itself, refinanced it's debt and avoiding NYSE delisting. The stock is sitting near it's 2013 low. Finally, it is 80 per cent owned by the investment community. Climb aboard!

Despite our differences, this is the time of the year to put everything aside and reflect upon the important things that really matter the most for each of us. With that said I apologize for some of my past replies and extend my hand to you for a resolution to our differences for the new year.

NRTI, who is manufacturing, distributing, and selling the Martha Stewart Essentials, in which MSO gets substantial royalties on, just released huge news today! Cheers!

MSO w/a sell rating & overbought:

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. (MSO) is Overbought, What's Next?

Although Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. (MSO) is up over 23.6% in the past four weeks, investors may be concerned. After all, MSO is now in overbought territory, at least when looking at its RSI value of 71.4. If that wasn’t enough, investors should also note that Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. possesses a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), so if analyst perception is any guide, we could witness a slump in MSO shares before too long.

MSO stock surging on announcement of OMNIMEDIA laying off 100 employees. This seems to be in line with a push towards reduction of costs associated with the OMNIMEDIA branch that continues to be unprofitable while the merchandise sector remains profitable.
MSO management appears to be making a very concerted effort for MSO to become profitable in 2014.
