News Round Up 2019

Disney's stock is such a good buy because it has been underperforming the market for years. It peaked at ~120.00 in August 2015 and has yet to get to back to that point.

This is why it is a great value still, but no, the stock price hasn't risen dramatically if you look longer than than one fiscal year.

it's been pretty steady since early 2015, but if you look longer than that it rose quite a bit from 2011 (when it was in the $30's) to 2015 so it's risen quite a bit under Iger, but not that much in last few years

If I'm setting comp, I'd call this a good fiscal year for Iger from a stock price perspective.




Iger's Tenure, unless I've got something wrong... outperformed the S&P 500 trend...



ETA: S&P500 data for quick trend comparison

REVIEW

Ballast Points brewery & Kitchen soft opens at Downtown Disney

https://wdwnt.com/2019/01/review-ballast-point-opens-in-downtown-disney/

As a selective beer drinker (a.k.a. a beer snob) I do like Ballast Point and think they are one of the best when it comes to making beer with other "stuff" added (fruit, etc.). Definitely worth trying if you are in the area

I can see us spending some time here! May have to allot more time at DS

FYI Ballast Point is at DtD in DLR not DS at WDW.

Ballast Point is opening at Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort not WDW. It does look really good and a place I would want to dine at next time I’m at Disneyland.

Ah, then there's no problem here.....

The springbok were rambunctious today running all throughout the savanna.

Right there with you. Recovering from Pneumonia in sub zero temps. At least I didn't have snow blow today(yet).
I'd love to be complaining about the heat, and sunshine while waiting to ride slinky dog.

Yeah, I'm digging the live updates!...

...except for the too hot weather during the marathon. That is no joke, I can empathize with that.

True! On a related note, why is the weather so weird in January? I was looking back through my pics from last year and I had like 5 layers on, and yesterday you guys had crazy warm weather...

Anyway...back to the news!!
