Apple looking to buy Disney?!?!

[ford91exploder]

Except they have not...

Exactly AAPL wants to write the code for the self-driving car. And while the car drives itself AAPL will sell you Entertainment media.

See how this keeps coming round to AAPL needing entertainment assets

I have kenwood head units in all my cars for Sat Radio and Navigation.

Kenwood just announced a new one that has AAPL CarPlay when it comes time to update i will install one?

Can you see how that could hurt Sirius/XM?

NOW does it make sense why AAPL may be pursuing DIS no great conspiracy theory its just AAPL understands that its a entertainment company that also knows about building hardware and it needs more entertainment assets and also has the proven ability to herd cats.

In essence a better managed Sony

We have the illusion that TWDC is about theme parks, yet it is really a content empire.

Correct though ironically the theme parks make almost as much money as the content empire even though TWDC refuses to invest in them

This would be sad for a lot of reasons, but in particular because Disney is the last of the classic Hollywood studios still in the hands of the original management (even if it was an independent and not a major back in the golden age).

I like your avatar, where did you get it?

That's why they make so much money, lack of investment yet the people still come.

Yet they made more money when they invested in the parks, Just as Universal is doing now. Universal is doing north of 30%

The extreme cutting is going to give you a few quarters of stellar results then not so stellar as customers realize they are being shortchanged.

When does the sell become final?

It is not happening.

On CNBC thus moring they were talking about the Verizon rumor that Verizon is looking at either Comcast or Disney. I couldn't care less if they buy Comcast but Disney has to now take steps to keep someone from buying them and so Disney has to buy someone else.

Maybe Disney could buy United Airlines in an attempt to improve the customer service in the parks.

That is a good one. The problem is even with all the bad press United stock is up from the day the video came out.

Verizon-Comcast would never get past the regulators. Zero chance.

Someone is going to buy Disney sooner than later that cash engine is simply too attractive to the sharks.

Disney foolishly did not build a warchest so now they have no tools to fend off a hostile takeover.

As fans well we would be well advisoed to find other hobbies, Iger will be the good old days,

The Sharks want Disneys content they DONT want physical plant etc

Disney has enough treasury stock to buy most companies. The thing is they have to make a more or you are right. The treasury stock is their best defense because they can just use it.

If Apple buys Disney, we will finally get a fifth park, but it will be built entirely out of brushed aluminum and glass

Trouble is as soon as they start use it the shareholder suits alleging dilution begin...

Disney may have painted themselves into a corner with its buyback strategy
