WWE Stock. (1 Viewer)

[Sarnoff]

It went up $0.55 today. Wait until Summerslam hits (it's 2 weeks away), it's the 2nd biggest PPV of the year. The WWE is selling the WWE Network in 100+ Countries. Follow the money. It's not even being sold in the UK yet. Buy now and thank your old buddy Em later.

$$$.

What effect do you expect an event 2 weeks away will have on the stock? If it's successful, won't the price go down in the short term (i.e. "buy the hype, sell the news")? Do you feel the stock is forward-priced more or less than the traditional 6-month-ahead window?

Also, back when the stock price was up to $26.00 a share of so, Stephanie McMahon (Vince's daughter) sold a large portion of her shares. So there are people directly linked to the company that are quite financially secure to keep things a float if things were to ever get rough for whatever reason.

Imagine if she's reinvested (I'm sure she has).

You don't think that, just maybe, she decided that this is the highest the stock will ever go so she better sell now to get the most she can out of it? If Jamie Dimon were to sell all his shares in JPM would you take that as a sign to buy?

I usually evaluate all of my stocks based off of Summerslam.

How many people have made millions thousands hundreds of dollars off of WWE stock? Somehow, WWE stock is going to break out and become the new __________________.

Q: Do you smell what Em is cooking?

A: It's damaged Mac N Cheese, Walgreens brand, in the break room microwave.

 

[ILUVBEER99]

I love that Em's investment philosophy begins and ends with "this stock was high once, and now it's low, so obviously it will be high again".

This is simply the market correcting itself. If the numbers are available I do know a good deal of accounting equations to tell me details about the finances of that company. Debt to Equity ratio being your go-to-guy here. Might glance at cashflows.

But when something like WWE pops up, it's a no brainer. So a few months ago it was worth $30.00 and then it drops to $11.00 a share? You want me to believe that the stock is worth 2/3 less than before, why? I refuse to believe that because fundamentally nothing has changed. The reason why I think this is such a great buy is because we saw this thing rocket up to $30.00 a share previously.

People have confidence in this stock. I think it will be awhile before we see if the WWE Network is a success of a failure.

Wow you are an idiot. I will bet you a hundred real dollars you can't do a "cash flow" analysis of this company even with the help of the internet. Honestly, i don't think that i have ever seen anyone as clueless as you when it comes to investing. I have taught 7th grade classes that picked investing concepts up better than you have since you started posting here. Good luck!

brah, the stock was high and now it's low, no more analysis needed. lock of the century.

I'm going to wait to Survivor Series before I invest too heavily in the market.

Because it sounds investy.

Number of outstanding shares ~75.5MM. Number of short shares ~7.1MM. Ya i want to buy a stock where 10% of their outstanding shares are bet against them. EPS $(0.38) yet they paid a $0.48 dividend. Seems briliant to distribute your cash when you are losing money. They have $87MM of cash after paying out $36MM in 2013 in dividends. Looks like the family took this opportunity to monitize their company at the publics expense. Good luck with this one.

How do you factor in the Undertakers loss at Wrestlemania? Do you believe that was a mitigating factor in the drop from $30 down to $10?

Anyone who watches WWE knows the quality of the programming has gone downhill since the end of the Attitude Era. Only way I want in on the stock is if the abandon the PG Era.

At one point WWE basically ripped off a smaller group called ECW and pushed more violent matches, themes and hotter less clothes women. Now, it's a more family themed product.

Yeah, the boss' daughter and the wife of the most over guy in the company calling each other #####es just screams family.

Not to mention WWE recently cut loose some wrestlers. That screams turn around right there.

More family then when there was an 80 year old lady giving birth to a hand, or a Ho Train parading around the ring (not that I am condoning either of those).

But now I need to get back to listening to Iced Earth.

So wait, 13 bucks is the new rate? is 9.99 still in place for a six month commitment?

 

[Cyclones]

Bro, do you even invest?

"When Little Guido gets up, and gets hit in the face with a Stevie-Kick, I invite you to deny that THIS IS EXTREME!"

Yeah, that's a hard buy at $11.00.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

[TenTimes]

Anyone get Lesnar at 1:3 to win the belt?

 

[RUSF18]

You ain't kiddin. Up a penny at open!

 

[Eminence]

Bump for gains.

Dude, I'm gonna be completely honest here... You don't own it, so it is kinda pointless to talk about. Most of the people who talk about stocks on these boards are actively buying and selling what they discuss. Anyone can make any call on anything, for instance:

I feel it is finally time that a short on Tesla will pay off. Their last earning report (while cheered) had a ton of issues in it. Their free cash flow is a negative $177MM in comparison to $77MM at this time last year. They are poised to sell a whooping 35kish vehicles and are valued at over $30B, that is almost half of BMW, who mind you has the largest margins in the industry and sells a measly 2MM cars a year. Now, I haven't discussed my feelings for Tesla simply bc I don't have the stones to lay a short against them, but if they were to fall 30% in the next 6 months, I won't bump this post bc I didn't lay a bet down on it.

I think this is part of what annoys people with your posts, but honestly it doesn't bother me like it bothers others.

All great support for why to possibly short a stock. Unfortunately, as you likely know, fundamentals mean precisely **** anymore and the market makers can easily drive this price up further.

At some point reality and share price will meet on this thing... Trying to time it can cripple you though.

Tesla isn't valued based on how many cars they are projected to sell this year - that's not how it works.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Tesla isn't valued based on how many cars they are projected to sell this year - that's not how it works.

Of course not, why would an auto manufacturer be valued on how many cars they will sell.

They're valued right now as if they will change the world. They're valued as if they will be selling 1,000,000 cars a year. They're basically like a start up with a good vision that raises capital, but instead of raising capital at market value, they raise capital as if they have already succeeded.

What a great character this Eminence is. I am waiting for the unveiling, as some poster proclaims himself the man behind the SWC and Eminence personas.

I don't believe for a second he's real, and I think when whoever is behind Em first thought of recommending WWE stock, he laughed for a good ten minutes.

All I'm saying is that growth projections are a huge factor in company valuations. Throwing out current year sales vs. a company in a totally different stage in their life cycle (BMW) isn't really very illustrative of anything.

My point with BMW is simply to show how far away they are from being that powerhouse, yet somehow a valuation of almost half. Half, I mean think about that... One of the world's leading luxury auto manufacturers, with a healthy well established business. Tesla's valuation is mind boggling, growth factored and all.
