Can Disney’s Wonderful Realm Please Investors As Well as My Kids?

Stock Analysis

    Following my analysis on Mattel (MAT) and Hasbro (HAS) from last week, I’m closing this toy stock series with the most famous company in the eyes of children: The Walt Disney Company (DIS).   Note: The stock is currently showing a dividend yield of 1.14%. This definitely does not fit my Dividend Growth Investing Model. But the company has recently started to increase its dividend and it makes a great comparison to Mattel and Hasbro who are pretty much alone in the …

Sell in May and Go Away? Worst Investing Advice or Sound Investment Choice?

Market Frenzy

    It’s fun to see how a serious field like investing comes with these semi-astrological predictions…   There is an old saying telling investors to sell in May and come back in October. This is the result if you follow the “Sell in May and Go Away” along with “Buy back on Saint Crispin’s Day” which is in late October.   Some people can say it’s as good as fortune tellers’ stories but there is one thing that tickles me; there is some pretty strong data to …
