As Walt Disney Studios turns 100, investors worry it's beginning to show its age. But adapting to the times is not a new challenge for the company.

Walt Disney’s share price has dropped to its lowest level in nearly nine years as the company struggles in the age of streaming, causing concern among investors. Throughout its history, Disney has adapted to new technologies and challenges, from embracing sound and color in the early days to later embracing computer-generated animation. Now, as the company turns 100, it faces the challenge of streaming and investors are closely watching how Disney will navigate this new landscape.

    Don’t tell me who I need to aim my ire at, I already know. The companies are shareholders themselves, so I hate them both. But only one enables the other.

    If you’re extending the responsibility from company to shareholders, why are you stopping there? Should you not also hate anyone in the chain that benefits from the company’s profits or from the other investments shareholders make with their dividends/proceeds from stock sales? Are you sure you’re outside of this chain of benefit?

        No.

        Cool! Keep pointing the finger of blame at others without acknowledging you benefiting. I get it. Its uncomfortable. Its complicated, and it doesn’t have an easy answer. It would be great if just “this one group” is to blame, but reality sadly isn’t that cut-and-dried. You don’t have a huge amount of hypocrisy here, but certainly some. You’re also bordering on “willful ignorance” too, but its innocent unless you’re taking actions to affect the system without understanding the impact of those actions on the system, others, and yourself.
