One of Thursday's best performers is Time Warner (NYSE:TWX), which has rallied nearly four percent to retake control of its 10-day and 20-day moving averages. This morning's New York Post reported that the media conglomerate is holdings talks to unload a stake of its America Online (AOL) unit to Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) web division, MSN. The newspaper also referenced potential discussions with Google (GOOG) and Yahoo! (YHOO) regarding a potential sale or venture with AOL. Dow Jones Newswires quoted the ever-trustworthy "person familiar with the matter" as noting that the talks are "very preliminary" and might "not lead to a deal."
