What two companies would you recommend to a novice investor at this time? Obviously $GOOGL+0.7% $AAPL+0.5% etc is great, but those are at a great price right now. I say maybe $O-0.6% might be a nice buy right now, or even $DIS+1.6%.
I would probably recommend $AAPL+0.5% and $CVS+2.7%. However, I don't think you can say it like this. Everyone likes something different and every investor should do their own analysis and calculate the intrinsic value of the stock. So if someone wanted to invest in stocks, I would start with bluechips stocks.
I don't think it's going to have any extra effect either. What though I have $DIS+1.6% so but is the main thing in my opinion I think is the content. So I don't have either, no time to watch it but when I see it at my girlfriend's place, Netflix just has that content more, better quality ...yeah Disney has a lot of cartoons and that's great but kids today have social media mostly and they don't watch cartoons much anymore I think.

The results are solid. I have $DIS+1.6% stock in my portfolio and now I will wait for the stock to start rising😁
To follow up on my post yesterday - AI and Disney $DIS+1.6% results.
According to the results released for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, The Walt Disney Company posted a 4% year-over-year increase in revenue to $22.3 billion (narrowly missing estimates). Net income per share excluding extraordinary items was $1.03, down 6% from $1.09 last year.
The results are fine for me, nothing great but it wasn't a disaster either. Otherwise, I own shares of $DIS+1.6% and believe the stock will rise.
AI sees it clearly with Disney's $DIS+1.6% results, saying it has as much as a 77% chance of beating EPS estimates, while giving "only" a 37% chance of beating on revenue.
That's how the analysts see it 👇
The consensus revenue figure is set at $22.44 billion, suggesting a 4.34% growth from the previous quarter. For EPS, they are counting on $0.99.
...Jj as you Paul's first comment, I too would be more inclined to drop the price since I've read about the decline in their users. I have $DIS+1.6% liked and invested, with the eventual drop I will be buying further. However, the AI rating looks interesting and it would be nice if it worked out, I might think about doing something speculative on it tonight before the close. 🤔 ...I wonder what the camps are, how many people are expecting what.
How do you see it in the next week? Whose results will you be interested in? For me, the obvious ones are $PLTR+2.0%, $DIS+1.6%, $PARA+0.7%, $LLY+0.2% and $BABA+1.5%.
Disney $DIS+1.6%, which owns the ESPN television station, has held initial discussions about strategic partnerships with the NBA and NFL. These partnerships could mean that the sports leagues will acquire an ownership stake in ESPN.
Interesting information and I didn't even know about this, however I recently bought $DIS+1.6% stock and thus this information makes me happy.
Disney extends CEO Bob Iger's contract through 2026
This, dare I say, popular and well-known company that is still unhappy with its price tag and "transformation" is keeping its CEO, who has had a good track record in his position, for another few years.
...I didn't expect anything else and that's why I was also increasing my position. Bob Iger has certainly earned and enjoyed a well-deserved retirement and yet he still has the motivation to take this company even further than he did in his previous tenure. While I am under no illusions and suspect that the money offered still plays a role for him, I suspect that it is more important for him in the current situation to show that he still has it and Disney will outlive us all.
But it's going to take a lot of work to do that, especially on content, because that's what matters in the first place and if you have mediocre service and product, even the best management has no chance of saving you from encroaching competition.
A summary of the news over the last few days around the US.
Recession, recession, recession. We hear it over and over again, even if you plug your ears. I've been hearing it a lot lately, so let's see what the situation is. Recent statements from economic strategists.
...The companies you listed have been on sale for a long time. I guess I'm fine with this situation, I'll just keep shopping cheap. I bought another $PFE+0.8% today. Thanks for the recap!
$NFLX+1.8% vs $DIS+1.6% vs $WBD+0.5%
These are the three biggest streaming platforms that have been competing quite a bit in recent years.
While$WBD+0.5% competes with Netflix and Disney, I don't like the stock of this company at all. Over its entire history, the stock has been in the negative, which is not pretty at all, and it pays no dividend. Thus, I don't see much potential...

Nicely summed up and I'll join the Applaks here 😂 I also think they'll come up with something later when it's a blast
Lately, it has been mostly technology stocks that have been up a few dozen percent. However, I am wondering what you currently see as potential buying opportunities.
I've been buying stocks recently, $MMM+0.4% and $DIS+1.6%. However, I am planning on buying shares of $CVS+2.7% and $PFE+0.8%.
Hey investors, have a great weekend.
I was wondering what stocks you bought and sold last time and if so why.
I last bought $MMM+0.4% as the stock dropped below $100, however this is a stock I normally buy every month as well. I have also been buying shares of $DIS+1.6% as it is at a nice price and I also see potential in this company.
As far as selling goes, I recently sold a few...

I see this $MMM+0.4% is very much on course as it went under $100. It's a nice price for a company like that, but I'm still scared of the lawsuits they have and the general nature of them. It's no small thing and the question is, when everything "dies down" will they not continue to incur such damage to their production? ... Otherwise $DIS+1.6% I also bought in this period and then reits, $O-0.6%, $WPC-1.2%...the sale has been made except $PBR+0.3% total is climbing now and I will wait with this company then again if it doesn't fall.
Not only the technology, but also the Netflix $NFLX+1.8% stream has taken us to new heights.🚀
...Thanks for the update.
I do not own shares of $NFLX+1.8% and do not plan to buy them. However, at today's prices, I wouldn't buy.
I think I like $DIS+1.6%, which I recently bought, better.
Investment Disney, but we have Neflix :D but when I watch something it's mostly YouTube
