That's a new 52-week low. And $8/share lower than when Bob torpedoed $lappie because "the Board" thought he was a better choice to lead the company due to "difficult times of transition".

Ouch. At this point further action needs to be taken. How long will it be before we start to see assets like ABC and ESPN spun off?

Well I have been reading the forum regarding the Reedy Creek mess. Iger better win that law suite as it may be the only thing positive that happens in his second term lol.
