It’s easy to take living in a developed country in the year 2017 for granted.
But living in the United States in modern times is an unbelievable gift.
Just imagine being anyone else, anywhere in the world, even just a couple hundred years ago.
Even presidents and kings couldn’t get their hands on modern accoutrements like a smartphone, the Internet, and air conditioning.
One of my favorite benefits of living in the US in 2017 is easy access to the stock market.
One can open up a brokerage account online, fund it with a few bucks, and buy stock in a great business.
In minutes flat, no less.
You can literally start to change your life with a few bucks in just a few minutes.

DIS is definitely a forever stock. Hopefully this ESPN issue brings it further down. Thanks for the review.
FV,
Disney is the definition of a wonderful business, in my opinion. 🙂
Cheers!
Thanks Jason,
I have owned for about 5 years now with an original purchase price I think of $52. i keep adding on even though it increases my average price on the stock. I don’t plan on ever selling. As always, thanks for all of your work.
Lukaivan,
I see no reason to sell that stock. If anything, it continues to be an appealing long-term idea to add to, assuming you don’t already have too much.
Thanks for dropping by!
Best regards.
Jason,
My one complaint about DIS is that I don’t have more of it.
Long DIS,

DG,
I have the same complaint about many businesses. But we do what we can to rectify that. 🙂
Cheers!
Love, love, love Disney and I am definitely in the market to add some. Anyone who has both Star Wars and Marvel universes, plus all of their other core franchises is someone you can’t do anything but love.
Duncan,
It’s really tough to find anything to dislike about Disney. There are some legitimate concerns about the changing business model regarding ESPN, but there’s always something changing in the world of business. Change is the only constant. They’ll figure it out. Meanwhile, the company continues to build itself out and just knock it out of the park.
Thanks for dropping by!
Best wishes.
Do you have any tips on what stock to purchase for a newbie like me.
Would this be a good stock to add as one of the first stocks?
lordmetroid,
Unfortunately, it’s impossible for me to recommend any stock for any particular person. We all have a unique time horizon, risk tolerance, circle of competence, need for income/growth, etc. So whether or not Disney fits your portfolio is really up to you.
That said, I view Disney as a more appropriate stock for younger investors with longer time horizons. That’s because of the low yield. If I were, say, 30 years older, Disney probably wouldn’t be in my portfolio. But if you’re a young investor, it’s tough to think of a business that has more long-term potential (in terms of growth and aggregate income/return) than Disney.
Hope that helps!
Cheers.
Thank you for your reply, much appreciated. I completely understand why you can not recommend any stocks.
