    'Mulan' release leads to 68% spike in Disney+ app downloads

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 06:08 PM PDT

    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mulan-disney-plus-downloads-68-percent-weekend-194701349.html

    Sensor Tower, an app download research firm, tells Yahoo Finance that downloads of Disney+ spiked 68% from Friday, Sept. 4 through Sunday, Sept. 6, compared to one weekend prior. Consumer spending in the app also spiked 193%, which can obviously be attributed to customers paying the $30 'Mulan' fee. (That fee is not for a one-time rental; the movie gets added to your Disney+ library for re-watching.)

    To anyone who invested aggressively in their 20s, how did it worked for you when you reach 30+?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 03:27 AM PDT

    I'm 23 years old and I started investing in stock market 3 months ago.

    I currently hold Tesla, Google and Amazon.

    When I got into stock market, I found it fun and exciting to be part of the company that you're investing, especially when you see their scability and development. I started to live frugally, reduce expense as much as I can, and invest the rest into the companies that I know and truly believe—from brand to business system. However, I still enjoy the good stuff like reading book, exercise, meditation, chilling at the local beach but I avoid intensive leisures like travel or expensive concerts because it cost me a lot money.

    To anyone who had a similar situation that I currently have in their 20s, how did this work for you? What regrets did you had? Is it worth to sacrifice the intensive fun stuff in your 20s?

    EDIT: WOW! You guys blew me away with your inspirational stories! Thank you so much for your time sharing it. I'm wishing you all for more success in life.

    Epic Games says 'Fortnite' users on iPhone have plummeted 60%, and it's trying to force Apple to reinstate the game to the App Store

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 07:59 AM PDT

    https://www.businessinsider.com/epic-games-apple-legal-battle-fortnite-usership-plummets-2020-9

    Epic wrote in its filing: "Daily active 'Fortnite' users on iOS have already declined by more than 60% since Apple began its retaliatory campaign." The firm added that Apple's actions will "wreak havoc on the existing Fortnite community."

    Out of 350 million registered users, more than 116 million are iOS users — equating to a third. "Fortnite" is also playable on Android, the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PCs, and macOS (from which it has also been booted).

    Best way to gift a child stocks?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 07:42 PM PDT

    So my best friend just recently had a baby and I'd like to gift her some stocks to be used in her future. I was looking into 529s but they can ONLY be used for school. I do believe in higher education but I understand it's not for everyone. Are there other ways to gift stocks that can be accessed at 18 not just for school?

    Sorry if this question breaks the rules. I figured you all would know the best answer. Thanks!

    Disney: The Story Behind the Ups and Downs of an American Icon

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 06:39 AM PDT

    Disney is simply one of the most recognizable brands in the world. Founded in 1923 as Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, the company has been behind some of the most famous entertainment characters of all-time. After trading over-the-counter throughout most of the 1940s and 50s, Disney debuted on the NYSE in 1957 for $13.88. If you invested $1,000 in the IPO, you would have been able to purchase 72 shares. After six stock splits in the years since, those shares would equal 27,648 today. With Disney trading at $131.99, an original investment of $1,000 would be worth $3,649,259 today – 3,648% total returns or around 13.9% on an annualized basis.

    While today Disney is the largest US media company by market cap at $238.5bn, after the death of Walt Disney in 1966, the company struggled to form an identity, experienced a series of internal power struggles, and survived multiple takeover attempts. Did you know that Disney once tried to become the dominant player in web search? Or that at one point Steve Jobs was Disney's largest shareholder? This week, we look back at the story behind the ups and downs of an American icon and how Disney cemented its position as a global media power and major player in the streaming wars.

    The Lost Decades (1966-1989)

    • Up until the death of Walt Disney in 1966, Disney seemed to produce widely successful movies on a regular basis. Movies like Pinocchio, Fantasia, Snow White, and Lady and the Tramp all attained commercial success or received critical acclaim. On the back of the growing popularity in Disney movies, TV shows, and miniseries, the company opened its first theme park – Disneyland Park (now Disneyland) – in 1955.
    • But the deaths of Walt Disney and his brother Roy five years later created a leadership and creativity vacuum that would plague Disney for nearly the next 20 years. By the early 1980s, Disney Studios contributed less than 30% of revenues versus the roughly 70% generated by Disney theme parks. In 1984, the legal predecessor to Universal Studios, a company called MCA, had a deal in principle to acquire Disney. However, the deal fell through after a disagreement over who would lead the merged entity. The next year, Disney fought off a hostile takeover attempt by financial and insurance conglomerate Reliance Group. At that time, Disney was estimated to be worth only $3bn.

    Disney Renaissance (1989-99)

    • Throughout the 1980s, the Disney Studios segment was considered to be on unsteady financial footing. Prior to the success of Who Framed Roger Rabbit in 1988, the company hadn't released a strong box office performer in years. Fortunes began to change, though, at the turn of the decade. With the Little Mermaid (1989), Beauty and the Best (1991), Aladdin (1992), The Lion King (1994), and Disney-Pixar collaboration Toy Story (1995), revenue for Disney Studios climbed from $2.59bn in 1991 to $10bn by 1996 – an increase of 286% in only 5 years.
    • Disney's renewed commercial success throughout the first half of the 90s expanded the broader media ambitions of CEO Michael Eisner. In 1994, the company attempted but failed to buy NBC from General Electric when GE insisted on retaining 51% ownership in the network. In response, next year Disney bought the parent company of ABC for $19bn. At the time, the ABC deal was the second largest corporate acquisition ever. Under the deal, Disney also gained a sizable equity stake in A&E Networks as well as 80% of ESPN. In interviews after the deal closed, Eisner stated the move was necessary to keep Disney competitive with the rise of diversified media conglomerates like Comcast.
    • On the surface, Disney maintained its strong box office performance for the rest of the decade. Hits such as Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Mulan, and Tarzan kept Disney Studio revenues steady after the peak year in 1996. However, behind the scenes Disney was starting to lose track of emerging trends in media as it set its sights on the world wide web.
    • In 1998, Disney registered Go.com in an effort to move into the rapidly growing internet web portal and search market alongside the likes of Yahoo, Infoseek, Excite, and Lycos. Disney would later purchase Infoseek for $1.77bn and integrate the service with web development company – Starwave – to try and showcase ABC, ESPN, and its other content via the portal. Disney created a tracking stock for investors to gain exposure to the Disney internet business, but the shares went from over $35 in 1999 to just over $5 in 2001. The entire project would end in 2001 with a $790mn write-down and charge of 37 cents per share.

    Rising Competition and end of Eisner Era (2000-2005)

    • The early 2000s marked a period of challenges on multiple fronts for Disney. Its stock fell from a split-adjusted all-time high of $40 in July 2000 to under $16 only two years later. Between the dot com crash and recession in 2001, then the September 11th attacks, Disney theme parks saw a drastic decrease in revenues. The company was forced to cut costs across the board, including in its Internet and entertainment divisions. Disney tried to opportunistically buy Universal Studios in 2002, but with Disney's stock at 52-week lows and anti-trust concerns, the deal collapsed.
    • On top of this, Pixar, whose distribution deal with Disney was set to expire in 2004, began to invest heavily in CGI which it saw as the future. Disney on the other hand still focused disproportionately on 2D animation. Shortly after the two companies ended their arrangement, Pixar quickly became the leader in computer graphics-based films with Cars and The Incredibles. Pixar had been generating momentum in CGI for years though. And none of the movies produced in the early 2000s by Disney outside of the Pixar joint-venture would come close to matching the level of success by either Finding Nemo or Monsters, Inc. In addition, Disney faced a growing threat from DreamWorks who had just produced Shrek, which pulled in just under $500mn at the box office.
    • After an unsolicited $54bn bid by Comcast in 2004 and failed attempts to rival Pixar in CGI, the board became increasingly dissatisfied with Eisner. A shareholder boycott organized by board member Roy Disney Jr. saw 45% withhold their proxies to re-elect Eisner. A year later, Disney announced Eisner would be replaced as CEO by Bob Iger.

    Strategic Acquisitions, Expansion, and Box Office Momentum (2006-2015)

    • Pixar and Disney didn't stay apart for long. In 2006, Iger completed his first acquisition as CEO buying Pixar for $7.4bn (though talks started under Eisner). As part of the deal, Steve Jobs, who was Pixar CEO at the time and held 50.1% of shares, became a Disney board member and the company's largest single shareholder with 7% of shares. When the deal was announced, analysts felt the price was too expensive. Yet the first three releases for Pixar as a Disney subsidiary – Ratatouille, WALL-E, and Up, would bring in a combined $1.89bn at the box office over the next three years.
    • In 2009, Disney also purchased Marvel Entertainment for $4bn. One analyst from Barclays Capital quipped "Spider-Man will appear in 'A Bug's Life' sequel," while the New York Times called the deal a "surprise" and questioned whether Disney could effectively monetize "lesser-known" characters aside from Spider-Man and the X-Men. Over a decade later, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has grossed over $22.5bn with more than 20 moves including the highest-grossing movie of all-time in Avengers: Endgame.
    • The success of the Pixar and Marvel acquisitions expanded Iger's appetite for more content. And in 2012, Disney bought Lucasfilm to take control of Star Wars and revealed plans for a seventh installment in the franchise in 2015. The three Star Wars films released since the acquisition grossed $4.47bn. Between the combination of Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm, Disney achieved a record 80% of box office sales in 2019 with the top six movies that year. Also in 2019, Disney made over $8 billion from movie ticket sales – the most any studio has ever earned in a single year.

    Disney Arrives to Streaming Wars (2016-Present)

    • With all the high-profile moves by Disney over the previous decade, its purchase of a 33% stake in Major League Baseball's media and technology unit BAMTech flew relatively under the radar. But it was perhaps the first public signaling of the company's ambitions to move into streaming in a big way. Disney bought a controlling stake in BAMTech the next year for $1.58bn, saying that it planned to use the infrastructure to develop ESPN's own over-the-top service (what is now ESPN+). More importantly, the company announced that it would be launching a competing internet streaming service – Disney+ –and not renewing distribution rights with Netflix for Disney content beyond 2019.
    • Later in 2017, Disney entered into an agreement to purchase the majority assets of 21st Century Fox: film entertainment, cable TV, and satellite divisions. Although Comcast attempted to make a competing offer, the deal closed in early 2019. In addition to acquiring a rich library of media content, Disney also received 21st Century Fox's 30% stake in Hulu. While Disney had helped stand up Hulu in 2007, with the Fox acquisition, the company began a strategic move to take operational control of Hulu which was experiencing significant growth – from 1.5mn subscribers in 2011 to 12mn in 2016. Disney eventually paid AT&T for its stake then Comcast for theirs to seize full control of Hulu in May 2019.
    • Disney+ launched in November 2019 in the US, Canada, Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand. The company's own original projections for Disney+ had the platform reaching 30mn by 2024. As of August 2020, over 60mn people use Disney+ (including Hotstar in India). Across its three services – ESPN+, Hulu, and Disney+ – Disney already has more than 100mn subscribers. In its most recent quarter, Disney noted that ESPN+ grew subs above 100% year-over-year and Hulu grew 27%.
    • Despite the boost from stay-at-home work and COVID-induced quarantines, the early success of Disney+ is particularly impressive considering the platform has more or less yet to begin introducing new original content aside from the Mandalorian and a few other features. Disney will also launch another streaming service in 2021 oriented around "general entertainment", featuring content from ABC Studios, Fox, FX, Freeform, 20th Century Studios, and Searchlight. And recent analyst estimates project Disney+ alone could surpass 200mn subscribers by 2025.
    • With all of these moves, under Bob Iger, Disney's stock rose from $27 in March 2005 to over $140 in February 2020 before he departed his post (Iger has temporarily stepped back in to aid his replacement Bob Chapek until 2021 due to pressures associated with the global pandemic and theme park demand).

    Is there anything left to get excited about Tesla at this price?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 06:42 PM PDT

    Stock split - It's done and dusted. Stock went up because of stock split and it corrected itself. S&P 500 - didn't happen Battery Day - I just found out that Tesla doesn't make their own battery but buy from companies like Panasonic. If Panasonic builds a better battery capability, why would they only sell it to Tesla and why not to their competitors? Full self driving - how much money Tesla can make of off seeking self driving software?. What about the competition? Isn't Google and Apple already building self driving software?

    Competition for EV market is starting to grow now. Tesla stock is already priced in for next 3 years at least. I definitely want to invest in Tesla. I would like to what would be the fair price to get into?

    Market Recap for Monday Sept 5 2020. PLEASE ENJOY!

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 01:57 PM PDT

    Psycho Market Recap - Monday, September 7, 2020

    EDIT: disregard title its Monday September 7th 2020!!! apologies for the confusion

    Summary

    Today the markets are closed in observance of labour day.

    Since the close of the markets on Friday, there was a discussion that brewed up on Wall Street about a whale that had made a huge options play in the realm of $4 Billion across the last months in popular big tech stocks according to the Financial Times. However, all this news didn't seem to impress investors as Softbank stock has slid 7% since the news broke.

    This news about Softbanks options purchases has sparked further reports about a stock market rally in big tech stocks that has been caused by a surge in options buying from retail traders according to Benn Eifert, chief investment officer of hedge fund QVR Advisors as written in a Bloomberg article. The same articles goes on to cite that retail traders, in comparison to Soft Bank's $4 Billion purchases, retail traders have poured an incredible $40 Billion in Option trades across the same period of Late June to end of August on the same type of stocks. The hypothesis is that with such a large percentage of these calls expiring in weeks, the writers had to buy the stock in order to cover themselves which caused the rally.

    Another big news that broke over the weekend was that Tesla Inc. ($TSLA) was not included in the S&P500. Three companies were added: Etsy ($ETSY), Catalent ($CTLT) and Teradyne ($TER) to the S&P500 index. The ones that were taken out are: H&R Block ($HRB), Coty ($COTY) and Kohl's ($KSS).

    On other news, there are alarming reports coming out of India that Coronavirus cases are rising out of control reaching 4.2 Million, with many expecting it to overtake the U.S. as the global epicenter which is currently sitting at 6.3 Million cases.

    Lastly, China export numbers for the month of August beat expectations rising 9.5% from a year ago, which is the largest increase in 18 months according to Reuters.

    Stimulus talks continue to develop at a slow pace, and the election is moving forward as planned.

    Anyone feel the same?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 12:47 PM PDT

    I'm up 47% so far this year, but I have this nagging feeling that this is not my own doing. It wasn't my good picks and hard research that lead to this, rather just the fed printing money and the crazy market last few months.

    So I constantly feel like this is all a farce about to blow up and I can't even enjoy my wins. Wtf is wrong with me.

    Forced to cash out my whole portfolio, what to do now

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 03:16 PM PDT

    Hi,

    so due to some circumstances I am forced to close my account at my online broker within 1 month. All positions will be automatically sold if I don't do it myself. Since I have to either sell everything myself or let them do it for me, I will have to pay capital gains tax on it which is 25% where I live.

    My question now is what is the best thing I can do after that? Should I stick with my current strategy of buying market leaders and dump it all in one day as I haven't planned to sell anything at the moment or should I still cost average it over a period of time?

    Stocks moving sideways a couple weeks is the best case scenario for Nasdaq

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 08:25 PM PDT

    https://www.investors.com/market-trend/stock-market-today/dow-jones-futures-stock-market-rally-strategy-tesla-dives-on-sp-500-surprise/?src=A00220&yptr=yahoo

    The pullback happened after we broke through a Nasdaq resistance line that dates back to 2010. The Nasdaq is currently sitting directly on a support line that should be resistance. If monday runs higher it's likely only going to pull back hard again. Moving sideways for about 2 weeks would give it room to make another run.

    Does Anybody Have Any Idea What's Going on with Maxeon Solar Technologies?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 11:07 AM PDT

    Maxeon Solar Technologies ($MAXN) is a recent spinoff stock from Sunpower, mainly focused in residential and commercial rooftop solar. They're also planning a move into micro-inverters with a partnership with ENPH, as well as other projects in the field of energy storage.

    About 2 weeks ago, the stock underwent a split where Sunpower investors were given 1 share of MAXN for every 8 shares of SPWR that they owned.

    The company is 29% owned by the recent investor Tianjin Zhonghuan Semiconductor Co, with an investment of $298 Million USD – putting the purchased market cap at over $1 Billion. This company is a long term partner of Sunpower, so I believe this large investment goes to show the company's faith in Maxeon as a spinoff company.

    After the split on Aug-26, MAXN rose from $32.4 to about $38, but dropped by almost 50% the following market open. The stock has been fluctuating between $20 – 23 for the past week and has a current market cap of $440 million.

    Meanwhile, during the same time the stock went through a split, SPWR stock rose 23% and has continued to increase over the past week.

    But aside from all of this, the main reason I am so interested in this stock is because it seems crazy undervalued and I can't justify the market reacting this way to the current valuation…

    They have an annual revenue of 1.2 Billion, although they are not currently profitable with a Net Income of -178 M in 2019. But their margins are increasing, and they're expecting double digit revenue growth YoY ahead of the market trend, which may soon prove to turn their revenue positive.

    In addition, their balance sheet shows them with $535M in current assets, almost $900M in Total Assets, and only $525M in Liabilities.

    Has anybody else looked into this stock? Are there any risks caused by the recent Sunpower Spinoff that I'm not seeing? The stock seems crazy undervalued right now and I am planning on picking up some shares tomorrow morning. The company is having a virtual conference tonight with Morgan Stanley investors, I just hope the stock doesn't shoot up before I get a chance to buy.

    Advice on how aggressive to put money into stock vs student loans for someone in their 20s to have a good financial future?

    To give some more context, I graduated college this past year as a mechanical engineer. I was lucky enough to find a full time job where I'm making a little of $50k/year. I'm living at home to save my money. However, I will be entering the Air Force as an Officer in December and will be then be making $39k/year for the next couple years until I'm promoted. My housing and utilities should be no extra cost for to worry about (on-base housing/utilities are free and off-base they give you non-taxable housing allowance to go towards it).

    I have about 75k in student loan debts that I want to aggressively pay off (the ones that aren't federal which is about 50k) I'm planing to do the Federal Student Loan Forgiveness Program for my federal loans and pay the lowest amount possible until I hit the 10 year mark.

    I have about 1,500 in stocks currently. I bought 2 Apple, 2 Tesla, 1 AMD, 1 Sony last week with already having from earlier this year 2 VSLR and 7 PLUG with some other small miscellaneous stocks. I want to put more into "safe" stocks. I may buy more Apple, Tesla, or jump into NVDA. I'm unsure how much to put more into stocks for long term holds vs how much to put towards loans. I was originally thinking put 1k month towards loans. My loan payments don't start till January. Any advice would be great. Thank you in advance!

    Thinking of dumping all my Intel and putting it in Starbucks...

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 09:48 PM PDT

    Just curious if anyone has an opinion on this or has done something similar. Both are huge market cap companies with great financials, but it seems like Starbucks has the better post Covid potential. Particularly when restaurant bans are lifted and they can re-open their dining areas. I also like Starbucks move into China, they already have some 4,000 stores there. This move would also help diversify my tech heavy portfolio. Its not a huge position but still curious what people think plus we can always use more non TSLA/AAPL posts.

    Should I sell or keep biocept

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 09:45 PM PDT

    I bought 111 shares at $.56 a share and it just went up to $4.30. I have no choice right now as it says "stock currently untradable"

    I honestly have no idea what I'm doing here and just got lucky on a hunch. Should I just keep sitting on this? A few years ago this same stock was at nearly $300

    Certified Tesla Shares Question

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 02:00 AM PDT

    Hi all, sorry if this isn't the place for this type of question but I'm not sure where else to ask.

    ​

    I want to puchase a Tesla share for my son because he is a big Spacex/Tesla fan, but I wanted to get him a certified share (one where they send you a certificate) so he can frame it and put it up on his wall. I've been searching around but none of the companies I regularly use do certified shares right now because of Coronavirus. Does anybody know of a company that is still offering this service? I'm based in the United Kingdom.

    Thank you so much in advance for your help

    Anyone know of any good battery company stocks for investment?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 02:01 AM PDT

    I've been online doing some basic research trying to find some growth companies in the battery space. I think there is high potential in this area, most notably from EVs but perhaps other areas from the economy too. Does anyone have any insights beyond Tesla, BYD, LG Chem, etc?

    Oil

    What are some data points to consider for investing in oil? This commodity has obviously taken a hit, so I'd like to start researching when to buy in. Appreciate the help!
