Soory...It does

With real estate it’s location location location.
You could buy a house in Bel-Air that looks like the one on Green Acres, but it would still be worth a fortune because of its location.
With stocks it’s earnings earnings earnings.
As long as you own stocks that show fantastic earnings like AAPL and DIS you should do well over the long run, but once an awhile even great a company suffers a big hiccup. A few weeks ago, I saw Chipotle down about 45 points in one day. Now the stock is trading at record highs around $755 a share.
Wow. Disney pulls $13.1 billion in revenue instead of the $13.2 billion analysts expected, makes 11% more profit than the same quarter last year, has seen its stock run up 29% in the last year before this 6% drop and people here are dancing on their grave.
Disney World in Orlando definitely has Gay Day. Local radio hosts warn their listeners when not to take the kids to DW.
How many still believe this myth? Disney does not promote, support, or endorse the so-called "gay days". It is an outside group, unaffiliated with Disney, that organizes this - Disney's only involvement as a company is that they sell the group tickets at their normal group rate, just like any other organization would get.
I don't deny that Disney has a gay-friendly corporate culture, but they have no input into or control over "gay days".
They do, however, officially support and promote an annual Christian music "night of joy".
Precisely.
Stocks fluctuate.
People take profits.
DIS fundamentally the same.
Disney does not sponsor the event, which began in 1991, but company spokesmen say the company welcomes any visitor to the park.
A place of public accommodation welcoming all visitors? The heresy!
Or, it could be as simple as the market reacting to disappointing quarterly results.
Occam’s razor is your friend.
Exactly.
I’ll start turning bearish on DIS the day I go to Disneyland, not a charged an expensive entrance fee, not required to stand in line for an hour to get on a ride.
The Disney Mouse is known, in many circles, as “The RAT”, as in “I worked for The Rat” or “I was a theme park sub-contractor in Paris to The Rat”.
Disney Corp. is reviled among many.
Do you have evidence that Disney actually sponsors “Gay Day”
AS we still haven’t started making folks wear Pink Triangles or Yellow Stars, I can’t tell the difference.
I’ve been to Disney World during “Gay Days” and other than it being a little less quiet and much warmer than I am use to, I couldn’t tell the difference. We usually go in Early May or Late September.
You don’t have to like the “Gay Days” (I don’t particularly care one way or another myself if you do or not), but, make sure you get your facts right correct on it. The fight is hard enough when folks through erroneous facts around. Verify the facts before you type them.
Disney doesn’t have “Gay Days” any more than they have “Straight Days”. They have days that they “take your money and make sure you have a great time” days, but, that’s it.
Well, then I'm sorry.
Cool!
Disney is suffering the “Slow Death” of Political Correctness!!!
Hope they writhe in agony and squeal like pigs before it’s over!.
So, you're actually pleased that the value of your fund has dropped, because now you can afford to buy more of it?
Yes, I've heard that logic before.
Regards,
Disney stock didn’t drop because Disney is in trouble.
“Experts” outside of Disney, and without deep knowledge of the Disney business, predicted Disney profits...that were not achieved.
Disney parks are doing record business and its movies have had recent major successes.
OTOH, I think Disney has peaked. In terms of movies, Disney is in a rut (Star Wars 7, Toy Story 4, Monsters 2, etc). In terms of amusement parks, Universal offers a better product for the price (Harry Potter vs. Avatar??) and Disney has been raising ticket prices way beyond the rate of inflation.
BTW, Disney doesn’t promote “Gay Days”, but it does not fight the perception either. This has led to the perception that Disney is gay friendly (whether Disney agrees with it or not), which has led to greater gay openness in the parks, which I have personally witnessed. It isn’t commonplace, but when you see it you can’t miss it.
Nope. From the link: "Disney does not sponsor the event, which began in 1991, but company spokesmen say the company welcomes any visitor to the park."
"Gay Day" exists, but it is not a Disney event. If red heads got together and decided to all go to Disney on the same day, creating "Red Head Day", that wouldn't be Disney's responsibility either.
It only works if the fund goes back up.
Otherwise, I’m stuck.
