Hot Potato: Discover ($DFS) keeps getting tossed around between financial companies Back when Sears Roebuck was the nation’s largest retailer, it decided it would be a good idea to jump into consumer financing So in the 1980s, it bought the brokerage Dean Witter Reynolds, then the bank Greenwood Trust, then in 1985 announced the Discover card Consumer loved the Discover card, as it also charged no annual fee and was among the first to offer cash-back rewards. But merchants were hesitant to accept the new Discover card, because its owner and funder was Sears Roebuck! Why would you willingly help your competitor? Needless to say, the Discover card was not particularly profitable, and in 1993, Sears spun Dean Witter and Discover into its own public company called Dean Witter, Discover & Co. under ticker DWD. Then four years later, this company decided to merge with Morgan Stanley to form *INHALE* "Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Discover Co." Then 10 years later, Morgan Stanley no longer wanted Discovery and decided to spin it out back into the public markets as Discover Financial Services, ticker DFS, which brings us to present day But maybe not for long, because if Capital One can get regulatory approval, Discover will once again find itself as part of a large organization. Or maybe the financial world will keep playing hot potato with Discover. 🤷♂️ $DFS $COF $SHLD $SHLDQ $MS $DWD #SearsRoebuck #DiscoverCard #ConsumerFinancing #DeanWitterReynolds #GreenwoodTrust #Retail #CreditCards #CashBackRewards #Merchants #Competition #MergersAndAcquisitions #SpinOff #PublicCompany #FinancialServices #MorganStanley #CapitalOne #RegulatoryApproval #Finance #BusinessHistory #CorporateStrategy #MarketTrends #FinancialIndustry If you own stocks, did you know you can sell your *shareholder voting proxies*? Most investors don’t have the time or interest to vote on directors or shareholder proposals. But instead of letting that shareholder vote go to waste, you can actually *sell it* to somebody who wants it.
