[and shadow of Blackrock], not wanting to share a revenue margin with FOX.
Disney has been on a crusade to absorb every rival media source that takes away from their profits.
However; the Mouse has seen its stock drop from $200 a share, to $95 a share.
Blackrock's demands are hurting their product.
I think Disney stock is dropping for political/moral reasons. People are sick of them grooming their kids, and also ruining everything they touch....such as Star Wars. Just my opinion of their recent stock troubles.
That is what precisely that has been driving their stock down ...
But it has not been by their own design, rather, at the behest of BlackRock asset investment firm, who is one of Disney's biggest shareholders, with nearly 150 million shares.
BlackRock deals in 10% of all Stocks world wide. They manage roughly $10 Trillion in assets.
Bloomberg was quoted as calling BlackRock, "the fourth branch of Government."
BlackRock's founder, and CEO, Larry Fink has a personal relationship with Timothy Geithner. The former United States Secretary of the Treasury. And during Geithner's stint under Obama from 2009 to 2013, BlackRock was able to control the interests of Citi Bank, Wells Fargo, Goldman & Sachs, Bank of America and Chase.
In 2018, Fink wrote a letter to all of the companies under BlackRock's umbrella: "Contribute to Society, or risk losing our support."
You want to see who's in the driver's seat of all this Social Justice ideology?
Just take a look in the driveway of Laurence Fink's house.
The man has a fitting last name, for sure.
