Filed under: Other issues, Products and services, Management, Rants and raves, General Electric (GE), Walt Disney (DIS), Media World, Chasing Value, Stocks to Buy, Marvel Entertainment (MVL)  Some of the venom spewed at General Electric Company (NYSE: GE) every time I write about it, is getting kind of old. I understand the criticism of Jeffrey Immelt, the CEO who takes the blame for everything that is wrong with the company and the economy.
I too have felt that he might have done more. In particular, while I argued Monday that most of the companies divisions were well integrated, or at least ...

Deadly sin stock #4: Disney (DIS)

(closed on 02/07/10)
Filed under: Stocks to Sell  Having pride is a necessary ingredient for success. You don't get very far without a certain degree of confidence. In the animal kingdom, the lion is certainly a proud creature.
Disney's (NYSE: DIS) Lion King rejuvenated the entire animation division of the company. The participants in that great movie certainly must feel a little pride. Unfortunately, Disney's offerings since have run smack dab into a consumer-led recession. I rate DIS a sell and think these eight small-cap stocks are a better bet.

Filed under: Walt Disney (DIS), Bargain stocks, Stocks to Buy, Recession  There truly are very few places to hide during the current financial crisis and economic recession. Trust in the markets is at an all-time low, and volatility is at an all-time high. The most senior of professionals in this business are shaking their heads in amazement.
<>We have not seen anything like this during our lifetimes. When it will end is anyone's guess. The silver lining, I suppose, is that it will indeed end at some point. When it does, investors can look forward to a landscape of well-run companies trading at ...

Q2 results were just reported and Disney said its quarterly profit fell due to a $91 million bad-debt charge on a payment it was due from Lehman Brothers and the combination of higher expenses and less successful films at its studio entertainment division However, the more important thing to note is that they have done really well in their cable networks and theme parks business which is a great thing. That Disney has been able to stabilise its focus on a diverse portfolio of businesses has been becoming clear since 2005. They probably make less mistakes today with their investments bec...

Filed under: Time Warner (TWX), Walt Disney (DIS), Viacom (VIA), Stocks to Buy  Ladies and gentleman, this fund investor grew tired of watching his family's portfolio get pummeled by double-digit percentage points and decided to become a stockholder. So, I snapped up a tiny position in Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS).
Before now, I avoided individual equities for several reasons, including that I was prohibited from owning them because of my previous job. I also felt uncomfortable owning stocks since I write about so many of them. My financial planner also discouraged us from taking positions in i...
