I was sorry to do that as the dark side of the internet is full of the lowest part of sickly humans. Furthermore, it is risky for the safety of my own website ask dangers lurk of malware and virus traps for anyone just momentarily in curiosity venturing into it for spreading hatred as well. You are free to do what you like if you trust what you see in the darker side of the cyberspace.
I choose better things to do and enjoy healthier pursuits than searching the underworld for darker spirits. Life is too short for that kind of stuff. I seek for the good and inspiring.
Wishing you Happy Weekend and healthier Pursuits
Enjoy wallowing in your own cesspool... while you're fighting your own ghosts of imagination and conspiracy theories. To each his own.
DIS is PEDO "club 33" central! Anyone with even remotely mediocre moral values should have enough sense to not put their money here.
Or visit Disney parks, or watch their movies and buy its product.
Dis is the worst company. Movies get worse and worse with each passing year.
I feel bad for Pixar trapped in this mess. If Jobs was around, he wouldn't allow Dis to continue to taint his baby.
He's rolling in the grave right now.
I watched that interview of Bob Iger on CNBC. He came across as one in full charge and confident of Disney's mission and goals to direct Disney in the right path for return to growth following the ravages caused by the pandemic. With his background knowledge and experience in the amusement/theme park business he is the best and right man for the job. He is well prepared and has the right personality for the leadership.

Disney share price is still in Breakout mode currently. Both the Dailies and Weeklies in sync in UPTREND. Analyst sees it rising to $130 level. My ave cost is mid $90's. My account shows it closing at $120.00 today. Dis is outperforming the S&P 500. Momentum for DIS is strongly bullish. The 14-period Slow Stochastic oscillator is above 80, the level which many analysts call overbought. This means that investors have been actively purchasing shares and driving the price higher.

When my kids were young I never thought of how high was the cost of taking the family for full enjoyment . Who cares for Disney Board problems and other challenges, they will get resolved. Now my daughter and son in law take their family both to Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California. I and my wife enjoyed equally with our children together. Music, song and unbelievable and sensational rides such as the Pirates of the Caribbean, It's a Small World delight, etc., etc., so many exciting rides, and an amazing experiences for lifelong memories for all. How anyone with some imagination did not buy shares in Disney when it was under $100? Einstein said "Imagination is more important than knowledge". In another year share price could be in $200 and over.
The future of Disney shines bright. GLTA.
Analyst Implies 16.5% Upside for Disney Stock (DIS)
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | March 25, 2024
• Barclays upgraded Walt Disney stock to "overweight" and hiked its price target to $135
• Blackwells Capital pleaded its case for a spot on the company's board
The shares of Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) are 1.1% higher at $117.24 this morning, after a bull note from Barclays. The brokerage upgraded the blue-chip entertainment stock to "overweight" from "equal weight" and hiked its price target by $40 to $135 -- a 16.5% premium to Friday's close.
In its bull note, Barclays said that DIS sports even more upside to pair with this year's outperformance. In addition, Blackwells Capital released a letter criticizing activist investor Nelson Peltz, saying "only Blackwells' nominees can bring constructive, independent and thoughtful change to Disney's board."
On the charts, Walt Disney stock remains well above the $108 mark, which has been a floor of support for recent pullbacks from the equity. The security gapped higher by 11.5% after the company's Feb. 7 quarterly report and could have even more room to run. Year to date, DIS is already up 28.3%.
Now could be a good time to weigh in on the security's next move with options. The stock is seeing attractively priced premiums at the moment, per DIS' Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 23%, which sits in the 10th percentile of its annual range.
