Why the Reiteration?
This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company continues to benefit from the strong performance of the Media Networks and Parks and Resorts division. Disney remains well positioned to drive revenue growth through its strategic initiatives. The company�� investments in its core businesses are also aimed at expanding its operating margins.
The company�� content distribution agreements with Comcast Corp (CMCSA), Netflix Inc. (NFLX), Cox Communications and Charter Communications strengthened Disney�� multichannel subscription model by adding more platforms to deliver its content.
Moreover, we believe ESPN�� strong performance is likely to boost the results of the segment as it remains the favorite destination of sports lovers and has the right mix of exclusive sporting licenses with top sporting leagues.
Disney also announced its purchase of all the distribution rights of Marvel Studios��Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America: The First Avenger, which were previously held by Paramount Pictures owned by Viacom, Inc. (VIA). Buying these rights is a strategic fit for Disney as the company seeks to introduce renowned characters from Marvel�� universe into its theme parks and other lines of business.

RAS Dividend Yield: 8.14%. - [By Thomas Sobon]
Instead of expressing my thoughts in vague generalities, let me be specific and tell you what I am actually doing on a real time basis to cope with the market dynamics occurring right now: I have a core position in one stock, which is the RAIT Financial Trust (RAS). Its size is about 60% of what I would consider to be a "full" position. I also have a lot of cash that I intend to use for trading purposes. Last Friday I sold shares of RAS at $7.55 which I bought on Monday with a low-ball bid of $7.11, so my gain on the trade was 6.2%. In early trading yesterday (Monday July 1) RAS is priced at $7.67, up from where I sold on Friday. That's great news because I accomplished what I wanted to do with the trade and now paper profit on the core shares in my portfolio is increasing.

The J-Plasma surgical technology from Bovie Medical Corporation (BVX) has recently begun to hit the market. Although it is anticipated sales will start out slowly due to the time involved in building and deploying a sales force specific to J-Plasma and in hospital capital equipment purchasing decisions, revenues from J-Plasma are expected to become very strong in 2014, leading to a correspondingly large upward move in the share price.
