There was once a time when mid-level bands with a modest following could make a pretty decent living playing music. They’d put out a record, sell a couple hundred thousand copies and then go on tour to promote it – which would drive additional sales, even as the tour itself was lucky to break even.

For the largest acts, this formula was a bona fide moneymaking bonanza, lining the pockets of all involved, including the musicians, managers, promoters and record labels. For everyone else, it didn’t produce vast riches but nonetheless supported careers and promoted the creation of new music.

Times, however, have changed. Besides a handful of superstars, it’s impossible for bands and musicians to generate significant revenue taking this approach. And the reason is simple: Consumers won’t pay much for music.

Napster jump-started this trend back in the 90s, pirating content and making it available online, producing a generation of listeners who didn't value music because they were able to download it for free. Then, streaming services basically continued the practice.

Best Heal Care Stocks To Buy Right Now: Dover Corporation(DOV)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Max Byerly]

  Dover (NYSE: DOV) and Apergy (NYSE:APY) are both industrial products companies, but which is the superior stock? We will compare the two businesses based on the strength of their analyst recommendations, institutional ownership, dividends, risk, valuation, profitability and earnings.

• [By Lee Samaha]

  The case for buying stock in Dover Corporation (NYSE:DOV) seems to be a strong one at first glance. After all, Dover doesn't own the sexiest set of businesses out there, and its expected 3% to 4% organic revenue growth rate isn't the most compelling growth story of 2018. Moreover, the company has a recent history of operational mishaps. It gets worse: Management recently admitted overestimating end demand in one of its three segments in 2018 (refrigeration & food equipment) and candidly talked of the need to execute better on margin conversion.

• [By Max Byerly]

  Shares of Dover Corp (NYSE:DOV) have received an average rating of “Hold” from the sixteen analysts that are covering the company, MarketBeat Ratings reports. Thirteen analysts have rated the stock with a hold rating and three have given a buy rating to the company. The average 1 year price objective among analysts that have covered the stock in the last year is $89.27.

• [By Chris Lange]

  The S&P 500 stock posting the largest daily percentage loss ahead of the close Wednesday was Dover Corp. (NYSE: DOV) which traded down about 18% at $76.68. The stock's 52-week range is $75.88 to $109.06. Volume was 3.7 million compared to the daily average volume of 1.6 million.

Best Heal Care Stocks To Buy Right Now: Embraer-Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica(ERJ)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Adam Levine-Weinberg]

  Last December, shares of Embraer (NYSE:ERJ) spiked following reports that it might sell itself to aerospace giant Boeing (NYSE:BA). Since then, the Brazilian government has ruled out a full takeover of Embraer but signaled its interest in facilitating a partnership between the two companies in the commercial aviation business.

• [By Joseph Griffin]

  Hanson & Doremus Investment Management lessened its holdings in Embraer SA (NYSE:ERJ) by 3.9% in the second quarter, according to the company in its most recent Form 13F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The firm owned 63,898 shares of the aerospace company’s stock after selling 2,603 shares during the quarter. Hanson & Doremus Investment Management’s holdings in Embraer were worth $1,591,000 at the end of the most recent quarter.

• [By Paul Ausick]

  Boeing also confirmed on Thursday that it has discussed a “possible combination” with Brazil’s Embraer S.A. (NYSE: ERJ), a response to the deal Bombardier struck with Airbus in which the European company took control of Bombardier’s C Series program. A deal between Boeing and Embraer is no sure thing, mainly because the Brazilian government holds a controlling interest in Embraer.
