3 Stocks You Use Without Thinking About It
Whether you're a farmer, a doctor, or a millionaire living the easy life at home, all of our days are tied to some form of the economy. In conjunction, you are consuming the services of more public companies than you might realize. An understanding of this type of common consumption can be a strong tool in deciding where to invest.
If you have kids, or if you were born in the last 50 years, you're almost guaranteed to have watched a Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) film. Disney is a massive media/entertainment titan that holds assets across multiple segments of the television and theme park industry. The company isn't just Walt Disney World and Mickey Mouse. If you're a sports fanatic, you've almost certainly used Disney. The company owns ESPN. If you've watched anything on ABC, like Good Morning America, Modern Family, or Grey's Anatomy, you're making money for Disney, which owns the network and many of the shows on it.
Now that Disney has acquired assets like Star Wars, 20th Century Fox, and a controlling stake in Hulu, the reach of scope is even more prevalent in the day-to-day of anyone who enjoys watching TV.
