What are you buying today?

[Spekulatius]

buying a starter in NXST this AM.

 

Why are all media stocks down this AM? Doom and gloom from writers strike?

Yes, now I see it too. It's odd that other media stocks are down more than Disney though.

ESPN is the biggest racked in cable - it costs more than many streaming services.

I think para got a moody downgrade last night. Down 8%

Started a position on DIS. Bob Iger's turn around is happening (improvement in FCF, ROIC), and the stock is trading at 5-yr lows. Happy to start here and build up if it keeps trailing lower.

In celebration of International Commodity Stock Day, small add to Cameco and large add to Pantheon Resources.

NXST (and other broadcasters) really get toilet flushed. Ouch.

Bob Iger is the one that got Disney into this mess, you think his arrogance will fix the melting ice cubes outside of parks?

Your posts reporting on the C position build-up made me take a quick look at the fundamentals:

 

P/B = 0.42 (ycharts)

P/E = 6.55 (google finance)

Div yield = 5.13% (google finance)

 

C almost meets the definition of Peter Cundil's magic sixes: 

"They are companies trading at less than 0.6 times book value (less than 60% of book value), 6 times earnings or less, and with dividend yields of 6% or more." ("There's Always Something To Do" Christopher Risso-Gill)

 

I may add C to the watchilist!

 

Cheers!

Definitely worth reading through the thread and reading some reports and listening to Fraser…

 

Still yet I remain skeptical- they call it Shitibank for a reason. Nonetheless it’s so cheap it’s hard for me to ignore.

Its is interesting that one of the new ideas was to sell dump a minority stake in ESPN to a strategic investor. I guess that's not going to happen. ESPN seems to be at the core of the dispute.

That was a bold move.  If the Dis/Chrt dispute leads to a revamp of the cable packaging those retrans payments that make up half of their cash flow are in jeopardy.

Well, my starter positions are small. I do agree there is a lot of uncertainty here.

[Paarslaars]

Added to JOE

[longlake95]

FFH

[Lance]

New position in C.  Small adds to D and WBA.

 

Thanks

Lance

[Saluki]

Small adds to JOE and TV on the dip yesterday.  If I was sitting on cash it would've been a good day to go buying yesterday since almost everything in my brokerage account was flashing red. But alas, I had no war chest  

[Paarslaars]

Been re-balancing some accounts. Family account is now 50/50 BRK/FFH.

The result is a net add to FFH.

[Spekulatius]

[Luke]

Added some BABA to my china basket and bought some Prosus+FFH

Bought some $600 Dec 23 NVDA calls for laffs

Haha thanks. These NVDA calls constitute a tiny part of my portfolio and I take them because of nothing more than feelings. Like for whatever reason I feel like NVDA will continue to grind up through the end of the year. If it turns out that I'm wrong and I lose then hey, that was good laffs
