Good ol' @real mad hatter is in there. What happened to him?
And there I was thinking you'd be happy to see me and my numbers! Guess that was a roll of menthos in your pocket then after all...I asked you the following remarkably simple questions:
If the market cap of TWDC or any company is a bogus metric, do tell me if I were to buy TWDC today, what price would I have to pay for it? What would that number be based on? And, as an investor in a company, would you want the executive who took each of your dollars and made you 30 more, or would you want the one who took your dollar and handed you back two and change?
Ooh, so many rhetorical devices and logical fallacies deployed! Delicious!Yes, it is true that if you would have stayed with the leadership of ME right to the end, you would have been giving up some substantial added profit potential along the way, 20-21 years as opposed to nine.
But, hey, if I invested $10,000 in 1984, I would be mighty happy with collecting $300,000 in 2005. I invested a large sum in 1989 and cashed out in 2007 and was thrilled with my profits. And you ... do tell ...
Of course, many of the buyers of WDC shares today are very different than those who bought under ME. Many of these folks are day traders (code for compulsive gamblers, btw), they are not looking for any long term value, just a quick hit.
In all of your 'fun with numbers,' I did not find an answer to these fair and rather decisive questions. Which leads me to ask this telling question, why?
Really, @Empress Lily, sometimes I think it is necessary to remind you (and a few others here) that the folks who tend to gravitate toward a Spirited thread have achieved far more success than completing Logic 101 and Economics 101 in college or 'at' university. But, yeah, most everyone here knows the game being played in the post quoted and why you failed to answer my questions.
BTW, you got somethin' against Michael Eisner? Somethin' personal? 'Cause your post sure reads that way ... 'Iger beats your boy Mickey Eisner like Spiderman beats street punks when he gets turned down by J. Jonah Jameson again' ... and, 'Compared to the all-conquering Robert 'Augustus' Iger small fry Mickey Eisner had better returned to playing with his Michael Mouse ears indeed."
Also, is it just me or is the Dow Jones at an all-time high? Hasn't it been pretty much notching one 'all-time' high after another for a while now?
All this fun chat aside, perhaps we should be talking about the anointed future Disney leader -- Jay Rasulo. I'm sure folks here will say he's perfect for Disney, just look at the numbers he's produced, right?
With more marketable "assets" (as this was the phase where Disney Animation decided to Jessica Rabbit every heroin, something they dropped by Mulan...but we got Pocahontas and Hunchback...)They have a much more prominent Native American "princess" they can market.
I agree. Looking back I think it probably would have been better to not get as involved with the member as I did.
Although it can be amusing at times to converse with the illogical and it can produce the occasional good laugh, it does sweep everyone into places that just don't provide anything of substance.
Ah, when Avatar is completed, all will be forgiven!I get where you are coming from but sadly AK park has had its own missteps too. Primeval Whirl, that Carnival game area, now Donald Statue observing the painting of the Dinosaur statue and misc paint cans laying around. It is starting there too, sadly.
With MM+ finally being rolled out, FLE expansion finally almost complete, and the monorail automation upgrade, Avatar/nighttime entertainment at DAK, and Disney Springs projects well under way, I'd say things are rosier than they were a year ago...
Okay.I still can't understand why people who are Disney park fans are just all about rides
Hardly.Ah, when Avatar is completed, all will be forgiven!
Ah yes.... the lost flock of Disney's rally call.PeterAlt said:Ah, when Avatar is completed, all will be forgiven!
Hardly.
glad I could be of assistanceOkay.
And thanks for your posts the past few days. Most enlightening.
I'll be honest here, although initially the topics are informative and interesting, by the time everyone adds their advanced knowledge to it, it become boring and tedious. Occasionally these threads require a renegade to jump in and wake people out of their drooling stupor.With all due respect, Goof ... that BS. One poster came in here on a Sunday when the mods were off or busy and pushed the thread into insanity. I will worry about things like that when I well understand the purpose.
EDIT: And I didn't mean that to sound as nasty as it may have. I am a bit peeved at the poster who had 12 hours to kill and was allowed to take this off the rails. I put a lot of effort into posting on this site and giving honest opinions mixed with first-hand knowledge of Disney, UNI and the entertainment industry for which I am not compensated. All of those 'hits' you reference, only go to help WDWMAGIC.com's bottom line, not mine. I haven't ever sought to monetize this reality of mine. Apparently, I'm a whale in the fan community ... and I'll never fit into my bathing suit for spring break!!!![]()
I don't and I doubt that most people mature enough to have lived in this world and understand the realities of life either find it amusing or useful. Talk about topics, talk about the weather, if you want, but when the talk gets to the point of degrading others just to sound cool and build up one's own ego, sorry but that's just not cool.Yea, but I liked it better when all we spoke about was double wide strollers and 500 pound people on scooters.
Alien Encounter was totally developed and brought to life under Eisner...
Just sayin'.
Alien Encounter was a good attraction. It was the external pressure from the Mommy's, who apparently were unable to read warning signs, to protect their tender little snowflakes from being scared, that pushed that along, and you're correct englanddg, it was more a case of being in the wrong park. The logic with that placement, as well as Stitch, was the Tomorrowland future Alien presence which for all we know, could happen. So to me that's a grey area.And then it got turned into Stitch's Great Escape under Eisner.
well I can see why so many of then drool over Uni and need a wet nap.
New Universal is about much, much more than just rides. This summer will prove that on both coasts.
The times, they are-a changin'.
I think he meant more about how WDW has been left to die the past 5 years and is literally falling apart and show issues are still just as bad as they were a few years back. A new land isn't going erase a memory of the fall of park maintenance.your opinion - and none of us have seen Pandora yet so....
for Uni yes... times are-a changin'....and that's a good thing. They need it...and I like the aggressiveness... hopefully competition will be a good thing and we all can benefit wherever we like to go
