Does Roger Federer uplift?

OK Mark, you asked for it - here you go. How do you tie Roger Federer to stock prices?

Well a few things come to mind. Nike, Gilette and Rolex to say a few.

Backtracking the Fed's illustrious record I have found that he is the most highly paid tennis star in the world but also that he sports a contract worth $13 million a year with Nike which originated in 2002 and that was renewed in 2008. He also signed a 2007 deal with  Gillette worth  somewhere between 10 and 20 million.

Let's see how he stacks up.

Nike. 

Just do the maths. Just do it. OK Roger may not be the sole contributer to Nike's 1bn a year profit. However, from the years from 2000 and 2008 the Nike share went from 20 dollars to over 160 dollars (After a 2 for 1 split) a massive 8 times the levels it sat at just a decade ago. Not quite 14 Grand Slams but I'd be pretty happy with that return.

Gillette.

Roger was the best a man could get. Shares rose from around $65 to over $70 dollars the year he signed the deal. A respectable earning. 

Finally, although it has nothing to do with Roger, I had to feature the real FedEx shares

Federal Express

Wow an uplift of over 300% over the same period. If you invested, 'your package is on it's way' via a big fat wad of cash.

Conclusion
So the conclusion is anything that has the words Fed associated with it will be profit makers.

Except... of course this Fed which is seeing red and has lots of Ben's and Paul's and George's associated with it.
