Five years after he became chief executive, it’s clear that the revamp is paying dividends. Mr. Gorman dramatically shifted Morgan Stanley’s course by emphasizing retail brokerage, which is the business of making money for individual investors. Wealth management, as the firm prefers to call it, now accounts for nearly half of its sales and earnings. That has put the company in a sweet spot as people flock back to the market after a long hibernation.

  • From Ferries to Hornblower Cruises
    Getting Out on San Francisco Bay: From Ferries to Hornblower Cruises Author’s Note: This article “Getting Out on San Francisco Bay: From Ferries to Hornblower Cruises ” is a stand-alone article on my website. Further parallel articles on the Bay include chapters in my two main travel guidebooks/ebooks on California. They are Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips and Northern California Travel: The Best Options. All my travel guidebooks/ebooks on California can be seen on my Amazon Author Page. By Lee Foster Getting out on San Francisco Bay in a boat of some kind is a concept I recommend to all visitors and locals. San Francisco Bay is such an inviting body of water, especially if your boat trip takes you across the Bay or out beyond the Golden Gate Bridge. From a boat you can see the Bridges, especially the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge, plus the skyline profile of the city of San Francisco. You can see the lovely green Marin hillsides and the profiles of the main Bay islands, such as Alcatraz and Angel Islands. The protected Bay waters are usually not too rough. Sometime you will encounter wildlife, such as sea lions and migrating birds. Occasionally, you may pass close to the immense container ships that come through the Golden Gate into the port of Oakland. Their cargo will likely come from China and Korea. The Ferry Option for San Francisco Bay The excursion boat California Hornblower ready to depart on San Francisco Bay There are many ways to get out on San Francisco Bay in a boat, and I have done most of them at one time or another.

  • Low Er M Anhattan
    Down Is What's Up LOWER MANHATTAN Winter 2018 THEthe FROM THE PRESIDENT { dear neighbor} LOWDOWN This is the season for resolutions. Some are harder to keep than others. So, I would like to propose one that should not only be easy to keep, but fun: Spend more time exploring Lower Manhattan! Some neighborhoods are home to incredible history. Others have renowned museums and cultural institutions. There are those that offer the finest in dining and drinking. And still others with eye-catching architecture. We have all that and more. Lower Manhattan is the oldest neighborhood in New York City, rich with history. Walking our streets, you can retrace the footsteps of historical luminaries and game changers like George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Edison. When that walking around builds up an appetite, there are now tons of dining destinations to explore. From newer haunts like Federal Grille, Nobu, Augustine and Temple Court, to institutions like Delmonico’s, Harry’s and China Chalet, you won’t go hungry here. And if you just want to grab and go, you can hit places like Italian specialty shop Pisillo or the newest kid on the block, David Chang’s Fuku. If you are looking for a postprandial or happy hour hotspot, you could hang out in the taverns lining Stone Street, the award winning cocktail bar Black Tail, or Lower Manhattan’s newest subterranean bar and lounge, the Mailroom. Still not convinced to explore Lower Manhattan this year? Here’s one more KEEPING LM GREENER AND CLEANER reason: the best is yet to come.

  • A Time Series Study on Marvel from 2000 - 2009: Marvel’S Movies Impact Relative to Stock Price
    9th Global Business Conference February 7, 2015 Journal of Global Business Volume 4, Issue 1 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines A Time Series Study on Marvel from 2000 - 2009: Marvel’s Movies Impact Relative to Stock Price Junius W. Yu De La Salle University [email protected] Abstract: Marvel studios have provided an interesting study for many business students particularly generating more than $1.5 billion box office receipts for the movie “Avengers” last 2012. Disney bought Marvel for $4.24 billion and the question arises from the valuation of the company relative to the acquisition price. The study focuses on Marvel Entertainment’s impact from movie releases relative to stock price. A time series analysis was used in gathering Marvel’s daily stock price changes from 2000 – 2009. This was also used in parallel to 20 movies released by Marvel within that time period. The behavior of the market was examined using the GARCH (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) model and the EWMA (Exponentially Weighted Moving Average). A linear regression was used in testing the hypothesis on whether gross sales of movies and movie release (development, pre-production, production, post-production and release) have any significant to changes in stock price. GARCH (1,1) was used to measure the outliers for the signaling effect relative to huge changes on the time series data. The data results provided no empirical evidences due to relatively large p- values; however the spike of increase in changes were identified due to the release of Spider- Man 2 in 2004 and Iron Man in 2008.

  • 2009 Annual Report
    Fiscal Year 2009 Annual Financial Report And Shareholder Letter January 2010 To the Shareholders and Cast Members of The Walt Disney Company: As I was drafting this letter, word came about the passing of a true Disney legend, Roy E. Disney. Roy devoted the better part of his life to our Company, and during his 56 year tenure, he was involved on many levels with many businesses, most notably animation. No one was a bigger champion of this art form than Roy, and it was at his urging that we returned to a full commitment to animation in the mid-1980s. Roy also introduced us to Pixar in the 1990s, a relationship that has proven vital to our success. Roy understood the essence of Disney, and his passion for the Company, his appreciation of its past and his keen interest in its future will be sorely missed. Last year was both an interesting and challenging one for your Company. On the positive side, we released two extraordinary animated films, Up and The Princess and the Frog that exemplify the very best of what we do. We received the go-ahead from China’s government to build a new theme park in Shanghai. We acquired Marvel Entertainment, whose portfolio of great stories and characters and talented creative staff complement and strengthen our own. And we reached an agreement to distribute live-action films made by Steven Spielberg’s DreamWorks SKG. At the same time, we faced a severe global economic downturn and an acceleration of secular challenges that affect several of our key businesses.
