If you really want to give a special child in your life a piece of the magic of Disney, why not buy them a share of Disney stock?
According to Barron’s business weekly, “Walt Disney Company stands out for its management stability and financial discipline, and long-term investors should be happy.” Also according to Barron’s, the low for Disney stock is about $28 and $40 is the expected high.
Take a look around your home. How much Disney merchandise do you have just taking up space? How much money did you spend on it?
You can purchase a single share of Disney stock as a gift at giveashare.com. They’ll mat and frame the colorful stock certificate and even place a small personalized plaque on it. The plaque can be as simple as:
NOW YOU OWN A PIECE OF THE MAGIC!
CHILD’S NAME HERE
DISNEY SHAREHOLDER
Or it might be cute like:
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
BREAK GLASS
The possibilities are endless. Whatever you choose to say, you’ll have three lines of 35 characters each.
This share of stock will entitle your child, the shareholder, to annual reports and dividends from the Walt Disney Company. This truly is a gift that keeps on giving! Not only can your child earn money in the way of dividends with their stock, but it is an excellent way to teach kids about the stock market and personal finance. Financial pages are a real bore to kids who don’t understand how they affect them personally. If your child has a share of stock, they will be much more interested in following the value of their stock regularly. They’ll also learn the value of long term investment.
Personally, I can’t think of a better Disney gift for a kid. The movie merchandise will wear out and eventually get thrown out, but a share of stock is a true investment in the future.
