I tune in to Fox and Newsmax from time to time, and it's amazing how much of all that propaganda and unsubstantiated nonsense gets parroted here and on social media. 

Relatively small negative aspects of the economy get hypercatastrophized while the stock market, job growth, GDP, CPI, higher wages and true economic indicators get swept under the carpet in favor of crappy and poorly run restaurant chains going down the toilet or that poor people should be magically rich if the economy was doing well.

Focking stupidity, ignorance and lack of basic common sense.

It's where to get, up-to-the-minute breaking news on assassination plots against the former President.

Isn’t it the righties saying that the average Joe doesn’t invest in the stock market and that’s why it shouldn’t be an indication of a healthy economy?  Who of course also say that stock price is why Disney is failing.

I wouldn't know.  I don't affiliate with a political ideology.  I care about issues.  I've always said anyone with a 401k or similar invests in the stock market.  But lefties constantly say the little guy doesn't.  Then they your the market to say the economy is doing well for.people.  you can't have it both ways libs.

Well, to be fair, losing 20 billion in stock value is a pretty big deal, no?  That kind of is the definition of "failing".  If it was only a couple dollars it wouldn't be a big deal but 20 billion is a pretty big deal.  And that's just stock value. They've pretty much LOST money on every movie and TV show they've put out since 2020 too (hence, the stock drop).

investors don't see that 20 billion drop plus losses on al their movies and TV shows as a plus, even if their parks made money.  They didn't lose 20 billion because they're doing good.

When you have a market cap of $185B, 10% is not that big of a deal.  And they didn't lose $20B you focking idiot.  You don't understand market cap.

Disney made $89B in revenue in 2023.  That's not failing you clown.

Have you ever contemplated the fact that companies that make bad decisions can lose stock value and go bankrupt even in great economies?

Clownzo's tariffs on China caused the stock market to lose around 1,000 points in one day and caused a lot of suffering for U.S. businesses.

$20 billion. That’s how much market value Disney lost Tuesday, roughly equivalent to the total market capitalization of entertainment rival and HBO parent WarnerBros Discovery.

You're still the idiot.  Like I said you don't understand market cap.  Disney didn't lose that money.  Market cap is the total number of shares outstanding multiplied by the price.  Market cap fluctuates based on price.  It's the shareholders value, but nobody loses or gains anything until they sell.  Market cap is not revenue.  You're not qualified to have these discussions.  Please stay out of it.

GutterBoy: Losing 20 Billion is actually making money and a sign that a company is doing well. 

Also GutterBoy: Losing over 1 Billion on movies and TV shows is also a sign a company is doing well. 

The only person not qualified to speak on this issue and, in fact, ANY issue is you.  You're clearly so invested in your glory hole propaganda you can't even think on your own.  Of course, that's nothing new as we've known that for quite some time now but it's reassuring to know you've at least confirmed it. 

In the meantime, you should head over to the Weenie Hut Jr forums down the road.  That's more your style as you'll be able to fool all of the 3-5 year olds and show them how "smart" you are.

It’s not that it’s just up over the past year, it’s up a crazy amount where it is expected and normal for it to drop - even dramatically. Major indexes are like at like 20-30% over this period which is wild.

This may be more of an overall ignorance about the stock market but it’s nonetheless a black and white figure that everyone can click on their phones in two seconds.

Same for unemployment figures. 

Why this is the case is fascinating to me.

It’s too early for me to find some Pink Floyd quotes but I’m sure there are some that would work here

 

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

If you think a declining stock price is “the definition of failing” like you said for Disney, then the economy is doing great.

Unlike you, my views are consistent. Disney is not failing and the current economy is not great.

So let me get this straight, do you understand the difference between market cap and revenue?

Do you think that if Disney stock goes down $1/share, that Disney is losing $1.8M?

Conversely, if the stock goes up $1/share, does Disney make $1.8M?

Was NVIDIA failing two years ago boyo when it's stock went from $330 to $112 in like 10 months?

Much bigger % drop than Disney.

I guess NVIDIA is out of business now based on the lower stock price ?
