► Episode Notes:
Who did Steve W meet this week? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!
In a shortened week as we record early, Steve W has outperformed the FTSE 100 and the S&P 500. And Steve D has outperformed Steve W.
Warren Buffett is handing over the leadership of Bekrshire Hathaway at the end of the year. But will having Greg Abel in charge make any difference?
Steve W thinks so. A more hands-on approach to the company’s subsidiaries could generate better operating results, but it might make it harder to use that big cash pile.
Disney shares have been rising after an impressive set of earnings. Subscribers in the streaming division are growing and there’s a new park on the way in an unusual location.
That’s a surprise given the way Snow White has gone at the box office and the state of the US economy. Steve D has the details.
UK retail has been terrible this year. But Steve W thinks there might be some signs of recovery on the way.
Same-store-sales at B&M have been deteriorating less quickly and JD Wetherspoon has recently posted some strong results. So could this be time to consider buying?
MercadoLibre has been growing impressively on all front. Its e-commerce division, payment platform and delivery network are all reaching new highs.
It’s the one that got away for both Steves, but we keep talking about it on the show to remind ourselves of what not to do. But who made a bigger mess of this?
Only on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast!
