Christmas Has Come early for Hasbro Investors. Strange to consider Hasbro as a safe haven but given it's stock performance and safe dividend yield maybe it is not a bad place for a value investor. Consumer spending this christmas should have a marketable increase from 2018 which was hampered by the government shutdown.
