Hasbro Inc (HAS-Q)

A huge, huge toymaker. It had a phenomenal run, but has pulled back, but it’s not that far off historical highs. Insiders own about 10%, which is quite a bit in a company this size, but they've been selling a lot of shares, which is a negative indicator. Pays a good dividend. Makes money year after year after year, but has a big huge debt load. He would like to see them pay part of that off. The toy industry can be very cyclical. If he owned this, he would be selling it.

Toy investors seem to be rattled. This is because of Toys “R” Us going bankrupt. Also, a major distribution channel for Mattel and this company is being taken away, which has caused some problems. Technically, the chart shows we haven’t quite broken down through the right shoulder yet, but if we do, that is a bad sign. Although we are in the seasonal period for retail stocks, if the technicals are not living up to it, you may want to pass on it. Look for it to show a little more strength, but if it falls below that neckline, he would be exiting.

When comparing this to Mattel (MAT-Q), you get a really good company. In this game space, you have a consumer stock that has been there forever and that continues to generate wonderful free cash flows. The dividend has been growing at a wonderful pace. Has no problem if he wanted to own this.
