For investors, the lesson here is simple: Forget The Lone Ranger. Instead, pay attention to what’s in the Marvel movie pipeline. Nothing in Disney’s portfolio has proven to be so reliable at fixing box office mistakes. Exactly what you’d expect from a superhero.

Now it’s your turn to weigh in. Did you see The Lone Ranger? If so, what did you think of the film, and are you more or less likely to invest in Disney as a result?

Disney is about as rock-solid a stock as you’ll find when it comes to funding your retirement. But there’s more to saving for your golden years than picking a handful of stocks and holding forever. And yet too many either don’t save enough or don’t diversify properly. Don’t make the same mistakes as the masses.
