Does anyone like Disn? I got in about $115 and with the delayed openings we could see a relatively smooth opening and if the NBA is centralized there, it could go through the roof, also remember that ABC/ESPN has UFC and other sports set to air and networks are doing unheard of numbers for NASCAR races, plus the highlights at night, this is a time where watching sports will be crucial

Disney is a great stock that will never really go anywhere. Safest of safe but you will not make any money.

How soon would that be? If they get the deficient tag after 30 days of being below a dollar how long do they usually go before the RS?

Thanks to all in here. Love all the comments. I have a 401k but new to trading.

NM. Nasdaq extended the grace period for compliance.


The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) dated April 17, 2020, granting an extension to the grace period for regaining compliance with the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement from June 23, 2020 to September 7, 2020.

They got extension until September, but this won’t just sit in .12-13’s all the way to September. They’ll probably release some news or earnings, it will pop to .17 or something, then next day they’ll announce a 25-1.

Anyone in on XSPA? They're moving towards doing COVID testing in airports. They have a contract with JFK Terminal 4 as of now, and the stock has been going up. About to be a shareholders call at 11 EST. They are considering a RS, but only to get into compliance with NASDAQ (Over $1). They are close now, at about $0.90.

I'm holding about 5,000 shares right now. I'm thinking it should skyrocket with some more PR/airport contracts.

Have you heard if their test works? Just wanted to make sure that had been announced.

I'm not flipping anything right now. I rarely do. I wanted to pick up some DGX but it's run up an awful lot in just a couple of weeks. Many healthcare names have popped... ISRG, XRAY, ALGN. SDC is still way off of its 52WH, but hasn't been profitable like ALGN. Markets seem to be anticipating elective procedures and spending is on the way back.

The easy money has been made from C19. But DGX could run for years. TDOC has great long term potential but IMO has gotten ahead of itself. It has retraced a little bit but will potentially be hammered by not delivering earnings eventually. TMO is another C19 name, but isn't a real cheap stock considering how large the market cap is. Still, I wouldn't mind building positions in DGX, ISRG, TMO, the dentals, DVA, TDOC, DXCM, and/or others.

Not sure what test they'd use. It's not their test, they'd use whatever is commercially available likely.

On that thought you would think it would be the rapid test used. If it's the swab your nose and wait 5 days that would be useless if you need tested before getting on an airplane.

Agree. I owned Disney for over a decade (I previously owned Marvel so I became a Disney shareholder in 2009). Disney did well from 2009 to 2015 but remained largely flat until a run-up at the end of last year/early this year. I should have sold in 2015 (but got a slight bit hoggish) but finally sold in January 20. I thought about repurchasing in March but there were much better investments out there then.

If you want to buy a stock, DRIP it, and not worry about it for 20 years, then Disney is fine.

Nope, loaded

From my personal experience, if you buy good low cost actively managed funds from Schwab, T Rowe, etc., you wont pay a load, you'll likely outperform the benchmark or similar loaded fund, and your annual expense ratio will likely be similar or lower.

I'd bet that Disney floundered due to cord cutting and cable sub counts stagnating or even declining. If their streaming takes hold they can take off again. They have great content. They should buy Netflix, but it would be expensive and the Feds would make it difficult. Also, Netflix generally "rents" their programming which isn't Disney-line. Maybe DIS is better off just developing their own streaming services. They don't have the big combination of a large distribution platform plus content like AT&T and NBC/Comcast. Yet. It will be interesting to see if there will be combinations from DIS, CBS/Viacom, Fox, Netflix, Verizon, Dish, T-Mobile, Charter, etc.

The time has come and gone for DISN to buy NFLX since their market caps are relatively similar. (DISN waited too long to purchase Marvel; not that I'm complaining - Had they purchased before 2008 Ironman, they'd bought it for a third of what they ended up paying for it). I'd say DISN floundered from 15-19 due to ESPN/ABC declines, being behind in the streaming wars, and the MCU/Lucasfilm characters reaching point of diminishing returns. The run up in late 2019/2020 was due to the successful launch of their streaming platform; however, the other two issues remain. Add in short term blips in theme parks and what does the new normal look like with movie viewing and I think the current valuation of the stock is fair. DISN is still too political and I do wonder if that hurts their brand equity with Middle America long term. Still a safe stock to buy and hold for long term though.

If we can open sooner than later I think both will be fine. I bought in to American at $10.30 and it closed at $11.98 yesterday. I seen they laid off 30% and the CEO said they would be smaller in to the future. He also said BK was out of the question. Yea I know Saban said he wasn't leaving Miami either.

Anyways, anything look good to buy and sell today to make any money that's $2 or less? I've been watching Capstone turbine corporation (CPST).

American is probably my least favorite stock in my least favorite industry. There's definitely money to be made trading but if you are investing long-term, I just don't like American. Here's why I don't like American long-term.

From 2015-2019, AAL had the following tailwinds
- Booming economy
- Relatively low fuel costs
- Nearly full capacity
- Stock buybacks
- Levered balance sheet

Even with all that, the stock was down over 30%.

They could come up with a vaccine tomorrow and I still think American could be bankrupt within 12 months without another bailout. Not to make this political but do you think Biden and the Democrats would bailout a TX HQ'ed Company that had significant stock buybacks or make them be an example? The risk-reward is better with some of the low-cost carriers or you are safer with DAL or LUV. Just my $.02.

DIS has real assets. Pretty much Netflix's only asset is their subscriber base and they have to keep spending a fortune to support the count. Disney wins in the long run whether they grow their streaming subs on their own platform or pick up Netflix from the scrape heap several years out. Content is King and Disney owns theirs while Netflix rents theirs.

Thanks. I bought AAL because of price. I haven't even had my account setup a week. I missed the crash of everything in March. I need to roll what I have in my account a few times and get use to everything before buying $33 stock.

What companies would you call low cost carriers?


Any suggestions or tips are welcome.
