Will You Buy Any "Big-Ticket Items" in 2016?
A new car... big vacation... engagement ring... fishing boat... college tuition payments... repairs to your home?
If so, the government may owe you money.
A new law signed at the end of 2015 offers "cash rebates" to 119 million eligible Americans for purchases made in 2016.
This is a chance to collect anywhere from $1,230 up to $12,900 and perhaps beyond.
But you must prepare now to maximize your payout. Details here. |

Why Disney Makes Me Cringe by Alexander Moschina, Managing Editor, Investment U
 I considered the whole thing a nuisance. Year in and year out, I received checks for $2.11, $4.08, $1.58...
This was long before you could simply point your smartphone, snap a photo and click - depositing funds in an instant.
No ma'am. I had to put on my shoes, march down to the bank and wait in line. (The horror!) And when I reached the front of the line, I'd plunk my check for a few dollars on the counter and sheepishly say, "Uh, I'd like to put this in my savings please."
Thanks a lot, Mickey.
This went on for more than a decade. Dividend checks from Disney arrived via post... and I grudgingly carted them to the savings and loan.
Sometimes I think back on those trips and cringe. Never once did it occur to me to reinvest those dividends. (In my defense, I was an actual child for most of this period.) Instead, I accepted whatever middling return the bank offered on my savings.
Of course, that's no longer the case. As I grew older, I became increasingly interested in investing. And as a new investor, one of my first orders of business was to take control of the Disney shares my parents had bought for me when I was still a babe.
With reinvesting dividends (finally), Disney still makes up a miniscule - but growing - chunk of my portfolio. And considering its market-crushing history, I suspect that's the case for many readers.
Which is why today we're taking a closer look at this 90-year-old blue chip's fundamentals...
In our first piece below, Sam digs into what's caused Disney to slip in recent months - and whether it's still a good buy. It's a must-read for long-term holders - as well as anyone thinking about picking up shares on the dip.
Following that, we have a clip from the latest episode of Oxford Club Radio. It features a chat with Alexander Green on where you can find value in our current market.
You won't want to miss it.
Good investing,
Alexander

Our research team has spent the past year vetting more than 2,500 exciting young new businesses. They've been on the hunt for the next "hyper-growth" winners like GoPro, which would have turned a $100 stake into about $133,000... Airbnb, where a $100 stake from 2009 is now worth $797,000... and Uber, which turned $100 into $1.25 million over the past 7 years.
Today, their research is READY and waiting for you. If you've ever wanted to get in on the fastest-growing private companies, usually starting with as little as $100, you'll want to see what they've uncovered. Details here. SPONSORED |
| | | Does Disney Stock Still Have the Magic? by Samuel Taube, Investment U Research Team
Few investments hold as much sentimental value as The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS). Kids have been raised on Disney movies for almost a century. The productions are a cornerstone of American culture.
But nowadays, Disney is much more than a film studio. In the last 30 years, it's bought television networks, overseas resorts and massive entertainment brands like Star Wars and Marvel. More recently, it made a short-lived bid to buy Twitter (NYSE: TWTR).
All this expansion is cause for excitement among owners of Disney shares - but also cause for concern. Big expansions and acquisitions are risky. And judging by Disney's recent earnings performance, not all of those risks have paid off. It has struggled to meet earnings estimates for the last two quarters.
You can see this uncertainty in Disney's stock price over the last year. Today, a large part of Disney's holdings are cable TV channels, including ABC, ESPN and A&E. Like many other media conglomerates, it's trying to pivot in the age of cord-cutting.
As Disney struggles to define itself in the post-cable world, Disney shares have taken a beating. And Investment U readers want to know if they're still a good buy.
