No, I Do know some companies invest in others, as do I. But you ASSUME Sony
has stock in all these other companies AND that all these other companies
stock goes up. Just because a company makes money doesn't insure the stock
price will rise to a level where if one was to sell they would make a
profit. Not all companies pay a dividend either.
It's a real stretch to try to base your case on IF Sony for example is an
investor in ALL the other tape/Cd manufactures.
Who's media does Paramount or Disney use? What about Geffen records or
Virgin?
