Everybody knocks Disney Because it's so big... But everyone has their money in it also... Let's see it move up again and split a few more times like last night... By then, I won't care what movies they make or what Mickey chooses to do with his life!! I would like to see ABC get it's act together... Then watch is soar!! Good luck to us all..

Peter: The scary part is that these not so bright individuals are running the education system for the good ole state of Texas. That says enough for their education. On the business side, they're idiots, too. Their $30m won't dent Disney's stock. In fact, Disney will continue to rise over the long term, and these clowns down in Texas are willing to give up on profits to back their flag waving extremism. So now their kids can be both uneducated and underprivelaged. Yee haw!

Peter, Sounds to me that DIS is the winner and so are we. I feel it is only a buying opportunity for us. What happened to LOVE THE NEIGHBOR?? Dorine Texas board votes to sell Disney stock July 10, 1998 01:19 PM AUSTIN, Texas, July 10 (Reuters) - The Texas Board of Education voted on Friday to dump $45 million in Walt Disney Co. stock from the state school fund in a move spurred by social conservatives angered by sex and violence in movies. The 15-member board runs the public school system in Texas and controls the $17.6 billion Permanent School Fund, which holds 1.2 million shares of Disney stock. Divestiture was favored by eight members of the board, with four voting against, two abstaining and one absent. With the vote, Texas became the first state to rid itself of Disney stock in protest against the content of its films. The company, long known for its wholesome cartoons and family movies, has become a favorite target of groups such as the Southern Baptists, who last year voted to boycott it because of its alleged "promotion of immoral ideologies and practices." The anti-Disney groups complain that the company's entertainment products display too much sex and violence and that its corporate policies promote homosexuality.
