Booking Holdings versus Disney: Why only one is a buy
Consumers are increasingly becoming choosier about where they are spending their dollars. One arena that could see an impact is leisure spending. In the latest edition of Good Buy or Goodbye, Main Street Research Chief Investment Officer James Demmert says Booking Holdings is a stock worth adding to your portfolio, while Walt Disney may be one you want to skip.
Demmert likes Booking Holdings (BKNG) because of its growth and "consistent" high profit margins. Demmert argues the company has built a "moat" around its business model, building up a "hard-to-penetrate market share." He also notes it has a good valuation. What would make Demmert have concerns about the stock? A recession or pandemic.
On the flip side, Demmert is not a fan of Disney (DIS). One of his big concerns is management, specifically that current CEO Bob Iger may be unable to fix the damage done by former CEO Bob Chapek. Demmert is also concerned about the amount of money being spent on content and thinks the stock is overvalued. He says a couple of things could turn Disney into a buy - a change in strategy or the company becoming a takeover target.

I'm thinking to put some cash in stocks, I was at Salt Shack and i overheard some friends saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?

Off course, but Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional.

A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

My CFA ’ANGELA LYNN SCHILLING’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.

Thank you for this Pointer. It was easy to find your handler, She seems very proficient and flexible. I booked a call session with her.
When Iger is replaced, Disney stock will jump.
