why? i don't see anything that will help disney's numbers anytime soon. writers strike, stuck in woke mindset, slow economy keeps people out of their parks.

i say this while holding onto stock I bought just before D+ launched....

Well they've been in the dumps before back in the 70s. The 80s to 90s were a Renaissance for Disney.

Odds are leadership that likes money will eventually take the helm again.

You just listed the reasons to buy it, do you know how stonks work?

Why buy META at 90 or NFLX at 160? Not one iota of good news at their turning points and little to no positive news on the subsequent 300% run ups. I bought DIS because the company looks like shit, complete and utter shit, everything set against it. So all those negatives you list, investors are very alertly aware of. That puts them in a mood to under price an asset.

Just Like the energy trade in 2020 nobody could find any reason to own them. UNOWNABLE, 300% ago. I have no idea if it's going to recover I just think it's worth a small gamble it will given the headwinds. The pendulum of shit may yet begin it's trek the other direction and the stock price will sniff it out well before news headlines.

At this point I expect a dip into the 70s how it responds to that will determine how I trade it.

It's about $2 above the Covid low when the parks and studios were shuttered. While I don't like the current direction of wokeness the company has taken, it's still Disney with one of if not the best IP catalogs that exists. And the parks.

Is AAPL buys them or Iger carves the company up, I'm happy. If not, it's a good entry price. Unless it isn't .

I totally followed this exact logic when I bought META, just sold way too soon.

60% gains are still 60% gains.

Lorcana and Dreamlight Valley together represent a very interesting brand direction for Disney. It seems like a dip into a "metaverse" that leverages Disney's deep IP assets very well. I think the upside is high and the downsides are already double-baked in.

$25k in 1980 is like $93k today in 2023 dollars. You ain't finding no liveable house nowhere for that amount of money.
Sir could I interest you in a sunny little villa in Detroit

10:02 *(US) FED CHAIR POWELL: PREPARED TO RAISE RATES FURTHER IF APPROPRIATE; REAL RATES ARE POSITIVE AND WILL PROCEED CAREFULLY; WILL REMAIN RESTRICTIVE UNTIL INFLATION SUSTAINABLY SLOWING - JACKSON HOLE REMARKS
- Policy is restrictive but can't be sure what neutral rate is
- Need sustained progress on goods inflation; Need some further progress on nonhousing services inflation
- Slowing rents points to slowdown in housing inflation, will continue to watch
- Will decide next rate moves based on data
- Signs job market not cooling could also warrant more fed action
- Attentive to signs that the economy may not be cooling as expected

- Process of bringing down inflation has a long way to go, even with more favorable recent readings
- Sees July PCE at 3.3%, Core at 4.3%
- Getting inflation back to 2% likely requires below trend growth; will not change 2% target
- Economic uncertainty calls for agile monetary policy making
- Fed is mindful monetary policy faces risks on both sides
- May still be significant further drag from past hikes
- Two months of good data are only the beginning of what we need to build confidence on inflation path

I do not see how this doesn't get screwed up. There are so many disruptive novelties. Student loan payments, end of childcare subsidies, Covid restrictions part 2, maybe that means Covid money printing part 2, corporate debt rate reset, bank solvency issues, corporate real estate implosion. They just always react to delayed data.

Idk seems like there's a flock of black swans flying around and they're going to need none of them to touch down in the pond to keep the water still.
