Disney Releases Earnings Early, Misses, Stuns RoboChurners, Sends Market Lower

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Millions of robots are jarred out of their somnolent churn as Disney not only reports earnings half an hour early (was supposed to be after the close), but misses on both top and the bottom line. This is yet another demonstration that in a market priced to perfection, the smallest deviation from the equilibrium can bust everything. DIS now down 5%, and has sent the entire market lower. At this point the market is really testing the POMO resolve over the next 20 days. After all there is only so much garbage the Fed-Citadel complex can buy.

Why do earnings matter when there's QEII?  Can't the FED send Disney shares to infinity with the stroke of a keyboard?

This is what ive been asking. Why are there charts and earnings when everything in the market is a digital illusion?

Thu, 11/11/2010 - 17:25 | 720386 papercanteen

Because the illusion is neccesary.   If the people understood what the real goal of QE2 is vs. the stated goal of QE2 (and not just QE2, ALL of the stimulus spending is in the same boat) there would be riots in the street and some real tough questions that suddenly are coming from more than the 1% of the US population actually paying attention.

 

Same as any other con - If the mark finds out they're being taken for a ride suddenly it's alot harder to extract money from them than if they think they're part of a grand adventure to make their fortune!

Right, and TPTB only have power still because people still accept their "money."  If they just outright showed they could take Disney to the stars, it would be game over for them as well as us.

Love it! If the market accelerates to the downside (which it should  if only because of CSCO implications and the USD rise), hopefully all those smartasses who bought earlier trying to frontrun tomorrow's POMO will scramble to sell into the close exacerbating the sell-off.

The new information comes in the form of some date changes, and two significant alterations to the release language period. First, the date changes.

The emotional tension level plateau is has grown. It had been previously forecast to start on the 8th, but now shows as beginning on November 5, 2010, at approximately 2:30 PM Pacific Coast Time (UTC =+ 8). Further, the plateau of building emotional tension now extends out further to the 14th of November instead of the 11th. This is the last building tension to accrue. Expect the level to stay maddeningly the same until the breaking point.

Repeat. The 'break' in the tension values that indicates the tipping point after which we (the planet of humans) is into emotional release language starts on November 14th at 6:50AM Pacific Coast Time (UTC=+ 8). Repeat - Tipping point starts on 11-14-2010.

 

Sorry update they need a few more days.

Where is RoboTrader the bunch of charts showing us that this event is merely a prelude to Silver at 5?

Disney's been headed south for years... Cronyism Kills!

Their absolute CULT like culture allows them to prop us illusions of incredible proportions!

"I guess the parents aren't getting Disney products for Christmas this year?"

I wouldn't be so quick to make that statement.  Have you been to the toy section of {name your favorite store} lately?  It looks to be about 50% Toy Story 3, from dolls to games to anything else you can think of...and at least half of the remaining 50% is also Disney related...Iron Man, Tinkerbell, Disney Princess, etc. etc.  I predict Disney (and Mattel) will have a Merry Fucking Christmas after all.

Yep, CSCO down 16%, DIS down 4% and the Dow only down 70. In any other time of the history of the stock market, this would have been a bloodbath day. But, thank god for POMO!

Yeah, very interesting that CSCO is down 16% on the day, but somehow INTC, another Dow component, finished the day higher.

 

Also funny that Oil was flat today but the oil majors were leading the Dow.

Look at the greedy buyers rush in to buy every dip. Stock index futures will rise overnight, to erase this small dip. Soon as the cash market closes at 3:00pm cst, they will start pusing it up.

DON'T panic and Buy gold, there's still hope, Benamke was only kidding about QE2, can't you people recognize a joke when you see one?

 

He's just trying to scare people into thinking he will destroy the dollar so they will spend the ones they have and so boost the economy!

 

Gold will then surely go back to 200...OK not 200 maybe 300? will anybody believe 400?

Serious question here:  Why would the PD's take their money (POMO is nothing more than a reimbursement for the PD's using their money to buy treasuries) and buy stocks in a deteriorating economy.  Anyone else think QE2 talk was a smokescreen to get the PD's out the back door and to get all funds "all in"?

Crocks are cheap and come in lots of bright colors. Ever seen a big display of them? Looks like a bag of skittles got inflated and popped. They are the perfect American Consumer purchase: All Presentation, No Content.

Combine these two attributes with broke, nervous women who NEED to buy things in order to re-enforce their self efficacy on a daily basis and you get an increase in foam rubber clog sales. "They are sooo cheap... And LOOK at ALL the colors.. I feel better already"

I am a certified idiot (no comments needed) and I can see why this stock would go up in today's world.

Last quarter (FQ3) was a $.09 beat, mainly on early recognition of deferred revenues at ESPN...guess where the "early" came from...FQ4.  This was baked into estimates, but obviously not enough, and any hiccup in cable networks (mainly ESPN) scares the street, because this has been the profit growth driver for a number of years. 

I think the quick sell off was a knee-jerk reaction to the miss (and unexpected early release).  Headlines from the conference call regarding FY11 look mainly positive.

But I think the low-end retailers like Target and Walmart will do well. I'm telling the kidlings already that they are going to receive coins:
