Those lists of institutional investors in a company can be very misleading.

Disney is large enough that it’s an S&P 500 company, so any investment company with an S&P 500 Index fund will have to own a lot of its shares whether they like it or not.

We’ve been doing it too for over a decade. Need more people to follow. Some people in our family slobber all over going to Disney. And even now, probably won’t care.

I’ve known about the farce known as Disneyland since the early 90’s. I wondered how clueless common folks could support them once it was clear that they were trying to brainwash everyone with their insidious agenda. I think Disneyland became a place to park your kids and make them think they were doing something highly acceptable.
80 million people not buying their products(all of them). Should bankrupt them.

Disney has turned into a Communist mining operation that is designed to corrupt our youth and groom them for liberal’s own exploitation. Write them today. I have spent thousands going to their indoctrination camps (Disneyworld, etc.), watching their indoctrination movies, etc., but will no longer support them in any way. Let Hollywood eat them.

Creative destruction is supposed to be good.

Even when I was a kid I was never a Disney fan. My speed was Warner Brothers cartoons.,Tom and Jerry, and MGM cartoons.

When I was a kid I really didn't see much Disney unless it was on "Wonderful World of Disney". I mainly got into Disney's classic features (Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi, et al) when I was an adult. As a kid I never liked the Mickey Mouse Club.

I no longer watch anything Disney that was made after the classic era. I think the last new Disney movie I saw was Aladdin (the original animated version). I had the Disney + streaming service for awhile but cancelled it after they fired Gina Carano from The Mandalorian for having an opinion that ran counter to the woke zeitgeist. I didn't even finish watching The Mandalorian. I'm not boycotting Disney. I just refuse to watch programming made by such woke trash.

Do you have any idea what Vanguard Group is?
It is a series of index mutual funds designed to track various stock indexes at very low cost to investors.

Vanguard is very popular with millions of investors like me who want to manage their investments at low cost.

How do you “break them up” and extract 30 trillion dollars from them?

And other corporations, take note. Next November, the party of people you have been screwing with will have majorities in both houses.

Don’t count your chickens just yet, Kurt. Maybe you missed what went on in 2020?

Well maybe not Vangaurd then as they don’t appear to be leftist activists or crooked but the other two are.

Now we know that when the collectivists say It’s For the Children, they really mean it.

The Disney empire was particularly susceptible to the COVID lockdowns, and yet they thrived... somehow.

Disney Cruises: held at port
ESPN: no games to report on
Disneyland/world: closed
ABC: eyeballs moved to the internet
Disney+: lackluster rollout Disney Movies: theaters shutdown

And yet somehow Disney thrived, and I believe the stock even went up. Very interesting.

Now, the arrangement before was that we would not use our political power against companies, but also that companies like Disney would not use their power against us. Disney changed the rules. Why are we somehow obligated to pretend that never happened and that the old rules are still in effect?

PING!

The problem with Kurt is he’s simply too optimistic. How the GOP does depends on how much the Democrats will cheat, and they will likely get away with it as the GOPee sit on their butts.

I stopped the Disney thing a long time ago. When I was a kid, Disney World sounded like heaven on earth. I have never been there, and now I never plan on ever going there.
