so what's amc's solution?e-quel of "breaking bad" called "better call saul. there's no air date yet. "walking dead" is the number one show on tv among adults 18 to 49. amc announced it's producing a companion series, kind of like a spinoff, to launch in 2015. now, amc has no plans for a spinoff for much beloved "mad men" but it is expanding that season by just one episode and splitting it up. so "mad men" won't actually end until the spring of 2015. now, amc has a slew of new shows in development and has "hell on wheels," which hasn't broken out yet. now, huge ratings for "breaking bad"'s finale would help amc, translating in higher ad revenue and demand in dvd sales. i, for one, will be watching. >> me, too. >> amc's market value is now equal to cablevision. this was a spinoff of cablevision. it's been incredible under the leadership of josh sapin, what's they've been able to do there. >> and sustainable? >> that's the question. >> the versace mansion have new owners and they have some interesting ideas. >> t

it is amc's biggest hit, actually the number one show on television among adults 18 to 48.ess, amc is producing a companion series like a spinoff for 2015 and says there's no plans to actually end that big money maker. huge ratings for "breaking bad" would help amc generate higher ad revenue and subscription fees and more revenue from video on demand and dvd sales. a lot of people are hoping you're going to tune in on sunday night. >> watch nbc football, sunday night football, did i mention it's on nbc. >> watch the nfl on nbc, you can tivo "breaking bad". >> dvr. >> or comcast dvr box. >> use your x fipenity box. >> have no life and never leave your mother's basement "breaking bad burning up the ratings but what are the bad stocks ready to break out themselves. bring in jeff, financial ceo, let's start with your first one which by the way was one of your first picks -- it is cliff's natural resources? >> yeah. as coach brian sullivan knows we like this stock here. a china play. seen china come down for two years. their biggest thing is meta lurnlgcle coal but one of the bi
