Stock Guys: My Free Tip for Some Easy $$$

[Varius]

I know many of you laugh at wrestling, but regardless, their stock is a great one to use to make money. There are two options really, short-term or long-term.

SHORT-TERM

WWE just announced pretty bad quarter results and the stock fell slightly. It is in the $15 range and that's a good price to pick it up at.

They had a major star retire, more injuries at one time to other stars than I can recall, the Volcano/travel issues while on tour in Europe and the time after Wrestlemania is typically "slow" as new storylines are just given their start.

It should be back to at least $16.50 - $18.00 at some point before the next quarter. Reason? SummerSlam is coming up and is one fo the major PPVs, mega-stars like The Undertaker and Triple H are slated for returns and lately ratings have been on the rise due to new storylines and stars being created.

Seems like an easy way to NET anywhere from 8%-15% in 2-3 months. It won't make you millions over night, but it's not pocket change either.

LONG-TERM

Not many realize, but WWE gives out one of the stronger, regular dividends around. They pay 36 cents per quarter, or roughly 8%-11% per year on your investment. That isn't bad and IMO, the risk is extremely low. Even when quarters have been bad, the McMahons just take less dividend on their shares and make sure the shareholders get paid out.

Anyhow, I'm not some stock expert, but I think if you follow the above plan you'll make some money. I'll bump it in a month or two to see where we are at

Payout Ratio: 166.00%
Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday): 18.10
Forward P/E (fye Dec 31, 2011)1: 17.83

I wouldn't count on that dividend, they are paying more in dividends than they make... once that dries up, the stock will plummet... sounds like a pretty risky investment to me...

I wouldn't think that will be within the next 5 years at least...I'm willing to wager the next few quarters pay the dividend out.

As someone who has been watching wrestling for almost 18 years and watched the stock plummet, I have to kindly disagree. The potential profit margins are nowhere near worth getting this stock. Not to mention, I don't think they'll be selling out Summerslam. I'm not sure about the ratings but honestly, I stopped watching when Eddie Guerrero died, that was enough for me. Once in a while I turn it on and see the same old bullshit plots. Either I got older or wrestling has gotten gayer since its heydey in the 90s. Also, it's unlikely that either the Undertaker or Triple H will be returning at Summerslam. Definitely not the Undertaker. Triple H is possible as he is going to be the man behind those 7 wrestlers who keep invading.

You'd have to put in a hell of a lot of money on the WWE stock to see reasonable returns.

I like Ring of Honor best, you may wish to check it out if you got fed up of the WWE product. Wrestling is a cyclical business, always has been and IMO always will be. That's why I think it's fairly easy to predict for stocks.

Either way, I can easily be proven wrong or right in a short period of time; we'll see when that time comes around.

That is the same with any investment paying out a percentage, though. It's always a percentage of what you put in...

I'm not sure it's cyclical, it's on the downfall. It was huge in the 90s with the Monday Night Wars, HBK, STone COld, the Rock, and Goldberg. Once those guys retired, there was no one of their magnitude to step in. Triple H did once in a while but he's always injured. And it's just getting lamer in my opinion. I personally prefer TWA because of the high flying shit, although they're doing the whole NWO nonsense all over again.

Actually I think it may payout more than you think, remember Mrs McMahon is running for office, with her kick back of some kind of legislation like most politicians, I bet the family business will run pretty well.
I remember watching Hulk Hogan lifting Andre the Giant in wrestle mania 1 above his head
