Con este post inauguró un tipo de post que ire poniendo periodicamente (cada 1-2 semanas) links a otros blogs con noticias sobre inversiones, compra/venta de empresas, salidas de socios, salidas a bolsa, etc… sobre empresas del sector TIME (Telecom, Internet, Media & Entertainment).

No sólo lo haré del mercado español, sino de aquello que me entere a nivel global y que sea interesante, no analizaré las ventas o inversiones que comenté, si son importantes ya sabeis que siempre hago un post de ello (si tengo tiempo). Muchos de los enlaces serán a noticias en el idioma original (normalmente inglés).

Cualquier sugerencia con respecto a este nuevo tipo de posts, será bien recibida, si puedo trataré de agruparlas por sectores, pero según vea la evolución decidiré.
