Stockholder question

[DukeStreetKing]

As a new Disney stockholder, what can I expect as far as communications, mailings, etc from the company?

Also, what kind of perks/discounts do stockholders receive?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Stockholders currently receive no discounts or perks.

Communication from the company will basically be the annual report and proxy votes for shareholder meetings. And, hopefully, dividend checks (unless your stock is being held in brokerage account).

Plus a neat looking certificate if you have chosen to receive one.

Sadly, as the number of stockholders increased (including those who hold one "souvenier" share as I call them) the perks decreased until there were few or none.

The best you can hope for now is that the stock and it's dividend will increase in value plus your investment will help fuel a better Company.

Thanks for the replies.

I did purchase through an online brokerage, so I'm not sure what happens to any dividends. There was so much research to do, I wasn't sure what to look at first. I just waited until the price came down a level where I thought it would stop and then purchased. Obviously, this is a long-term hold for me as I don't see the company rebounding any time soon, but I'm sure it will in the future.
