Charlie Sheen: Heres the Portfolio
Sometimes popular figures prompt MarketBeat to consider the portfolio implications of their lives. We recently did a Tiger Mothers portfolio, and today we are taking a stab at the Charlie Sheen portfolio.
As with any such portfolio construction, even on with tongue planted firmly in the cheek, we try to figure out what actions popularize (or undermine) certain stocks. Herewith the Sheen portfolio.
LONG
SiriusXM. The satellite channel has launched an All-Sheen network, called Tiger Blood radio, after Sheens frequent references to Tiger Blood.
Twitter. Privately held, but shares can be had at places like SharesPost from time-to-time. Sheen has become a huge hit on Twitter and has even talked of ways to bring more sponsorship to the short-form communication site.
Berkshire Hathaway. Warren Buffett and Charlie Sheen are most unlikely bedfellows, but Sheen loves his private jet and his raft of followers may try to find ways to emulate him. Berkshire owns NetJets, a leading provider of fractional shares in private jets.
Activision Blizzard. Maker of World of Warcraft, which features Warlocks, a popular reference point for Sheen.
Viacom. Owner of Paramount, the producer of Ferris Buellers Day Off, a hit movie that features Sheen in an eerily prescient cameo role.
SHORT
CBS. The company made a mint off Two-and-a-Half Men, and thats now all pretty up in the air. CBS still highlights Sheen on its website.
Time Warner. Theyve fired Sheen, and that may mean challenges for Two-and-a-Half Men, a show they produce.
LONG or SHORT?
New York Yankees. Cant really trade em, but Sheen likes to wear their gear. Also, among the very, very few folks that Sheen follows on Twitter is Yankee Nick Swisher, according to New York magazine.
