Recent Buy


On August 23, 2016 I purchased 1.5391 shares of The Walt Disney Company (DIS) for $96.79/share. This brings my total shares in Disney to over 100 for the first time ever. I continue to believe this is a good long term holding to add to. My monthly contribution to Disney remains unchanged.

What do you think? Do you own some Disney stock? Visit the parks or take a cruise this year?

    Nice. I am up to 21 and counting. I assume this is your biggest position?

      Dividend Mongrel,

      That is great to hear! The yield is still low and only pays twice a year, but I make an exception for a company like Disney. I think it will be a great investment for years to come.

      Thanks for sharing!

      Lanny,

      Yes, my biggest position. The yield is not the greatest and it is facing some challenges. That makes me want to add even more at lower prices and build up a large position for the future. A run up and split may happen one day. That would be really nice if it did that and then rose back up after.

      Thanks for coming by! I love what you and Bert have done over there.

    I think Disney is a great stock to own! I only have a very small amount on my loyal3 account so far. Best wishes

      Happy Healthy and Wealthy Girl,

      I am glad you are a fellow owner in Disney. No commission to acquire one of the great companies in the stock market is pretty attractive. Can't get much better than that.

      Thanks for commenting and keep up the good work!

    Love DISney! I pretty much love everything about the company apart from the low dividend and only paying twice a year. I still feel like Disney has that "magic" even after all these years. I will continue to buy them throughout the years. Congrats on your 100 purchases. Thats a nice milestone!

      Adam,

      Same here. It would be nice if they raised that dividend substantially. Maybe a double or at least went quarterly. I guess twice a year beats once a year like it was for some years.

      Thanks for stopping by!

    I'm convinced Disney can't lose at this point.

    With the addition of the Star Wars franchise and MCU Disney looks to be a true juggernaut.

      It keeps getting cheaper and cheaper too! Got to love that.

    DIS is a great buy, I might wait for a little bit while longer as a bunch of negative press is affecting them playout. It might bounce back in no time actually, but a tiny penny here and there will help in the long run.

      vivianne,

      I buy a certain amount of Disney every month. I hope it continues to stay down here a little bit longer.
