but the focus on disney stock has not been on espn. they were gone back to where are they finding growth. they're sy seeing it in the studio, they're seeing it in parks there's other places they are going. >> content. they're the king. that was the old story. this has been a slow and sometimes fast lead when you look at. that it seems like they've got their fwenger, maybe they got their whole hand in the dam at this point. they're off 11% year-to-date t. chart looks really smooth and methodical. i still think it's kworth a buy. >> yeah. >> guy do you have a comment? >> what month is it? what comes after may? june pete was saying two months ago, the disney call. 98 at the time. we said if they didn't sell it off until lousy quarter a few months ago, it wasn't going down, it was going to 120. 158 now. >> you have a great memory. >> giddy up. >> have you gathered your thoughts? >> two things i. to say, disney is probably the most iconic brand. consumer products are taking it. they have major leak baseball. they will be there, fine. >>> sp

more likely disney would increase it's buy back. this company has shrunk its share count rather amazingly by 200,000 shares in the last three years. we purchased 25 billion in stock this fiscal year alone. disney could even double the size of its payout, or maybe it could open more theme parks or make more movies. the truth is we don't know what it would do. now there's a perception if the company used the money to buy back stock or boost their dividends that money is essentially wasted because it doesn't create jobs, but it certainly would create more wealth for you the shareholders, because that's what cramerica is. maybe having a larger portfolio causes people to start more businesses, i also think a 15% corporate tax rate would encourage companies in other country to do business here. and there are a lot of people on the sidelines waiting for this market to come down to a more reasonable price. what if companies are making more money because they have a lower tax rate, i think it would force money out of the sidelines, disney st
