Disney profits up 18%

ESPN, ABC Family boost bottom line as parks, pics sag

Entertainment congloms have posted better-than-expected numbers this earning season, and the Mouse House didn't disappoint, with the last of the majors reporting an 18% jump in profits over the last three months.
Disney can thank ESPN and ABC Family for much of that coin, with higher fees collected from channels that especially air the sports cabler's programming offsetting sluggish, if not outright dismal, performances at other Mouse House divisions.

You should see how small my dividend check is for my one share of Disney stock!

Buy more shares and get a bigger dividend! However, this may not be a good time to buy. DIS is at their 52 week high. I'm happy I bought some when they were in the teens.

I just have that "buy one share, get it in a fancy frame" deal.
A friend bought it when he was on a stock buying kick. He tired of it and I bought it from him for $75. It has since split three ways.
I bought it years before I went to WDW and became a Disney geek.

Yep, I have one of those, too! It's hanging on the wall right behind me. It has to be one of the prettiest stock certificates available.

All my other Disney shares and held by my brokerage company.
