Dropped Disney channel today

How old are you?

You mean the groomer Channel?

Will be interesting to see how this plays out this time around. After he backed off I wondered if it was for show or if he really was naive enough to believe Iger.

Activist investor Nelson Peltz is pushing ahead with plans to seek at least three board seats at Disney (DIS.N) as the firm is not satisfied with Disney CEO Bob Iger's changes, several people familiar with the matter said. During a conversation on Thursday morning with Iger, Disney extended an offer for Trian to meet with the company's board but rejected the activist shareholder's request for seats on a board that will soon have 12 members, Trian said in a statement.

Early this year, Peltz criticized Disney's capital spending, its money-losing streaming business and a bungled succession plan, and sought a voice on the board. He aborted a board challenge to give Iger time to "right the ship," after Iger outlined his turnaround plans. Now it looks as if time is up.

Trian, which owns roughly $3 billion worth of Disney stock, said it "intends to take (its) case for change directly to shareholders," signaling it will proceed to a second proxy fight and nominate director candidates when the window for nominations opens early next month. "Investor confidence is low, key strategic questions loom, and even Disney's CEO is acknowledging that the company's challenges are greater than previously believed," Trian said in the statement.

Disney noted Peltz is allied with Isaac Perlmutter, a former Disney executive who was terminated earlier this year and has a "longstanding personal agenda" against Iger. The company said Perlmutter's agenda "may be different than that of all other shareholders." Despite Iger's efforts and Thursday morning's phone call, positions appear to have hardened this week.

I got rid of Hulu+Live TV last month, which included a Disney+ package. Did not realize until recently that Disney owns Hulu. I'm done supporting these woke BS companies. I'm exploring retirement fund alternatives to BlackRock, Vanguard etc.

If anyone has legit advice on that front, it would be greatly appreciated.

Also interested in a cell phone brand and service alternative to AT&T and Apple/iPhone. It's about time for me to get a new phone and do not want to stay with AT&T. Not the biggest fan of Apple products anymore either.

Beet.
