Disney Stock?

[Ducky4Disney]

I'm not sure where to post this - so feel free to find the right home for this thread.

I don't know a lot about stocks and corporate business so I have a few questions about the whole Comcast/Disney thing. Disney rejected the offer, I got that, but the shareholders could still decide to sell to Comcast and over-ride the boards decision, that would be a hostile takeover, right? If I'm clear on this so far, then how many shares do they need to buy in order to "own" Disney, is it over 50%?

Now to show my ignorance - if I wanted to buy stock in Disney, how much do you have to buy and who do I get it from?

Thanks - I know the people on the DIS can help me out!

Can't help with the takeover info, check the Rumors board for wonderful threads there!

If you want to buy stock, you can go through a stockbroker. You can even buy 1 piece of stock from oneshare.com and the fee is not alot. I have my own Disney stock through a stockbroker, but bought my 1yo dd one share through the above .com. Very simple! If you subscribe to mousesavers newsletter, they are having a special also. We aren't allowed to post the info. here, per Mary's request.

HTH...

It's probably not a great time to buy, unles syou just want one share for the sake of owning it. The stock jumped at the news of the takeover, and may be in for a drop soon. On the other hand, if Eisner gets the boot, it may go up some more.

The time to buy was before the takeover announcement, not after.

I kinda figured that , but better late then never. I'm not looking to retire on some huge profit from the stock, it is more for the sake of owning it (but a little profit wouldn't hurt).
