What's not to like about Mickey

"How about how well these appliances makers act? I think Whirlpool (WHR) is a steal because it is so hated.... Wal-Mart (WMT) is on fire for the first time in a while.... And Disney (DIS) is on a bust out." ("Oil Reports Are Slim and Slippery," 4-29-09)

Disney (DIS) is difficult because it is expensive, and its theme park, DVDs and television divisions are challenged, not leaving much else. ESPN could easily switch to a loss if the big autos and some of the beers and the like cut back, and I think they will. The company is locked into some high-priced contracts. DIS has real problems in owned and operated. I think its theme parks will be too expensive to attend for many individuals. This DVD problem is in its infancy and will take away a steady stream of profit, as it has become simply a thing of the past that people are building DVD libraries, even for Disney's excellent titles. It is not a cheap stock, and it has no dividend support. It doesn't get cheap until $12 if the earnings estimates need to be cut to more realistic levels. I doubt it can go much lower because of its franchise value, but remember, that hasn't halted any company's slide yet.
