Barrons Promotes RH Donnelly as "Risky, But Attractive"

RHD's stock is up 14% at the moment based mostly on an article in Barron's which indicates that, despite the 97% drop in stock price in the last year, RHD's directories are still experiencing strong usage in some sectors and are "far from dead". The albatross, as they say, is the $9.7B of net debt the companies holds. But, as they say, if you're looking for a high-risk, potential high-return stock, RHD may be one to check out. This article made me wonder if they feel the same about Idearc, but they didn't really say here.

Idearc's Earnings Were Not So Good

Idearc's earnings came in today and they weren't very good. Profit down 30%, revenue down 5.7%. And if you look earlier this month, you'll see a press release about them bringing in a former Private Equity person to be their CEO. That can't be good for the employees there. Any by the way, the stock is currently down about 35% on the news (RHD is down 20ish percent as well, and report earnings tomorrow).
