And Iger is a slightly left leaning moderate. The political leanings of public company leadership shouldn’t be part of their management philosophy. As long as they are no where close to having communist or socialist beliefs. Like MJ said something like republicans also buy Nikes.

The DIS pop is back to around +5%. I might buy a few shares if it gives about half of that back this week.

Absolutely. Went to Disney with my family for my daughters graduation trip this summer and you could see the reach to all demographics. Just be a business and focus on the experience and free cash flow.

What was it that the departing CEO did that was extremist Left? Something to do with same sex marriage?

Not necessarily him being an extreme leftist, but the company has become highly political and it’s not to the liking of many conservative righties. I’m assuming that he is extreme for leading DIS in that direction instead of having it be apolitical. Too bad NBC and CBS parent companies aren’t following suit. At least Olberman has been off of the DIS payroll for 2 and a half years. If a business is highly political, it shouldn’t be raising capital in the public equity markets. Be a Chick-Fil-A or a Hobby Lobby.

MSNBC is a Disney property. It’s only recently been spreading to ESPN and then the theme parks and children’s programming.

Did I miss a transaction? MSNBC isn’t owned by Comcast anymore?

That’s right. Disney is ABC. I got confused - not much difference between the ABC, NBC, and CBS news departments. Disney has ESPN and ABC.

MSNBC was originally a joint effort of NBC (RCA/GE) and MicroSoft. I haven’t checked to see if MSFT is still involved.

Disney/ABC brings us that pillar of democracy - The View.

CNN is a Time Warner/Discovery property. “Fox” News is obviously the Murdoch family.

I see where the state of FL (Desantis) wants to end 50 yo ageement for tax issues. Possibly some of the bad blood .
I'm not aware of leftist extremism except for acceptance of everyone. Not sure that is even an issue.

I think someone here said down to $100. Not sure if that was a WAG, but could be true.

Earlier in the year Mr. Orange said he was looking for $200, which at the time was quite bearish.

I remember how bizarre it seemed a year ago when TSLA had a bigger market cap than all the other auto companies. Nature is healing.

It isn’t so bizarre when considering that TSLA isn’t simply a vehicle manufacturer. They are more of an integrated alt energy business in the long haul. Right now there revenue mix is mostly vehicles but their vision is well beyond only that.

One would thing Twitter is, and will continue to be, a distraction for Telsa. Elon has a lot of irons in the fire.

It’s not just Twitter and Tesla. Musk is spread out over about a half dozen separate companies. Space-X is a big one. The Boring Company isn’t as high profile right now. Neuralink. Hyperloop. Tesla Energy. OpenAI. He seems to be a bit scattered or easily distracted.

I would not.

Whenever I buy TSLA, I end up losing sleep over it. Too wild for my tastes.

Thunder probably has the stomach for the rollercoaster that is Elon.

One thing about TSLA, funds must buy it which might be building a solid floor at these levels. It is frightening though if just comparing it to other vehicle manufacturers.

A well diversified portfolio can always add some riskier securities. TSLA shares/options are a pretty good vehicle to take on some risk/reward.

I saw at least a couple technically-oriented traders tweet this week that there's not a lot of support here, for whatever that's worth.

The 52x p/e multiple for TSLA is reasonable. AMZN was negative until the market cap was hundreds of billions. It’s still 85x with a MC approaching $1 trillion - but I might could buy me some more of that AMZN.
