BIG Bank Earnings, Procter & Gamble Miss & Disney Show Peltz The Door!

Who’s been piling money into real estate? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

With Paul not here, the Steves are taking the time to discuss their more distinctive interests. This week, it’s lemon farming.

Steve D has a lemon tree and Steve W is wanting to start a small orchard. We’re starting this show off in a weird place.

But there’s plenty of your regularly-scheduled content to go around. Because earnings season generally does, we’re kicking off with the earnings from the banks.

We’ve got Bank of America, JP. Morgan, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup on our list to look at. But is either Steve buying any of these?

Procter & Gamble also reported earnings recently. Prices going up meant that volumes went down and the consumer goods giant came in pretty much level with where it was before.

Neither Steve is particularly impressed. If Paul was here, maybe he’d feel differently about a dividend king with 60+ years of consecutive increases.

We’re finishing off with a look at Disney. Both Steves like this one, but it’s been attracting some activist attention lately.

Nelson Peltz thinks he has something useful to contribute, but Disney don’t agree. The Steves give their thoughts on the company and the activist.
