News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

[Vegas Disney Fan]

In your analogy Peltz is not an experimental treatment.. he’s another more aggressive cancer.

More like radiation, something that is horrible in every way but has turned out to be an affective treatment for cancer.

 

[Stripes]

…and yet…the consensus regarding the current board is they are pretty ineffective/awful…so what exactly is status quo “preserving”?

Well, contrary to the “consensus” I believe the board has done a very effective job as of late.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Personal insults and dodging. Par for the course.

And would this be the poster who “agreed” with Peltz’s “content suggestions?”

How’s this for dodging?…some of your finest shade yet…worthy of the 200 attempts at it on the Box office stinkers thread last year…

Always blaming the customers for failure of the business…and of course due to “hidden evil”

No, I say, "oh look, a sideshow with no impact," and return to what actually matters.

You and your very likeminded pro-Trian posters consistently refuse to acknowledge what is known about those "known properties."

I'm one of the most negative posters on these boards about Disney World's direction over the last decade and a half. I'm the guy who thinks Guardians and Resistance are massively overrated. I still think welcoming the company's destruction is really selfish.

Unless, of course, you see the Disney proxy battle as a fight in a much larger war. Then wanting Disney destroyed makes some sense. And I hope you lose decisively.

I always say chemotherapy is the second worst thing on earth…

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Not really though.

When I start to feel like my home decor is looking a little dated, I start looking into new flooring, wall colors, and furniture. I don’t wish for my entire house to burn down.

The math still doesn’t work on the boogie

2 seats - let alone 1 - doesn’t convert Disney studios into faux news and a red hat rally…

What I think they’re most worried about - other than bobs ego (why he has to go out the window next to bashful) - is the information they don’t want to get out of the board NDA to be accessible by outsiders. The burning question is…why?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Well, contrary to the “consensus” I believe the board has done a very effective job as of late.

…you mean with the dividend, the buyback, the slashing of costs in content and operations, or green lighting more sequels?

It’s like Christmas morning everyday

There was that Florida lawsuit give in too…can’t forget that Gem

More like radiation, something that is horrible in every way but has turned out to be an affective treatment for cancer.

So, potential deadly levels of radiation to cure a cancer that will go away on its own in two years? I get the frustration people have but that seems like an extreme risk where none is needed.

And more personal insults and dodging. You do this when you get boxed in and have nowhere to go.

By the way, that first post insinuates nothing and wasn’t intended to. The second one is about a poster who had just admitted he “agrees with Perlmutter’s views on content.” His words.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Home decor to me is minimal and conservative. I'd spend my income on experiences instead.

How about a luxury cruise on a poorly designed, inadequately equipped Wish class ship?

5th time will be the charm, right?

How has Peltz been “effective treatment?”

Nelson Peltz is America’s most overrated activist investor. Here’s what the experts missed about his performance

Peltz’s 25 desperate attempts to join Disney's board should be seen as the last flicker of the flame of the flailing financier, write Yale's Sonnenfeld and Tian.

Are you under the impression that Iger is the Highlander?

You don’t agree with me…I get it. I’m not going to “out myself” for being “pro-old man”…because I NEVER WAS. I want a transition to the next person(s). And accept the risks.

.

As far as that shade routine goes. My promise is to not ignore it anymore. It’s out of line and uncalled for. Talk about Disney without deciding someone’s evil when you can’t win the argument.

There’s this thing where people only live so long.

Also, I’m sure at this point Bob is very sorry he killed your pets and ate all your cereal.

Great food, entertainment , clean beaches and lots of alcohol can at times dull the mind in thinking this is a good time.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Are you under the impression he didn’t pull this same crap at least 3 times before. Are you in North Korea and the western business part of the paper is banned?

lol

It’s time…everyone knows it. Even a failed proxy battle is clear evidence of that

I drink heavily everytime I’m asked the same question here for the nineteenth time…as if I’m personally responsible for all the people in California, Florida and New York involved?

Nobody is…wait…actually one guy is

I’d draw the analogy somewhere between Plaquenil or Bleech. Things we know aren’t going to be effective and maybe at best be ineffective and at worse cause significant harm. And yet medical literacy is completely lacking in the public conscience so people are willing to be taken for a loop by the snake oil salesman.

Though this one is corporate/finance literacy this time. Most of the arguments pro are emotional and not grounded in facts or historical precedent.
