Both stocks would be excellent core holdings. Both are technically strong. DIS has the ability to grow its earnings a little faster than MSFT, I think. But MSFT has the advantage that much of its earnings comes from overseas and if the dollar continues to fall, that will boost MSFT earnings as they are converted back to dollars. DIS also has excellent foreign earnings. The key question is whether the economy is going to slow down significantly. If it does I expect DIS might be more effected. |

I don't think you could go wrong with either one. But if I had to choose one I'd go with MSFT.I think they have a great chance to beat Sony this time in the video game wars. Also many people will probably upgrade to the new Vista operating system in the coming years. But once again if you went with Disney I think that would be a fine choice as well. |

Disney, I believe it's more diversified then MS and more cash cows keeping the money flowing in. |

If you look at its statitics on paper then Microsoft, but the stock has been down for years and it does not go up.
Disney is up and down a little so I would buy Disney low and sell high.
Actually, I would buy neither of those stocks. I would look for something that had more of a return and paid a dividend for long term.
Neither stock is now in a position to be held long term |

Well, just some facts about the Walt Disney Company...
1. Walt Disney World in Florida is the largest single site employer in the world.
2. Walt Disney World in Florida is the number one vacation destination in the world.
3. They're involved in all sorts of programs such as the Disney College Programs and Disney's Wildlife Conservation Fund.
4. It's likely the most famous company in the world.
5. Disney has spread out EVERYWHERE...
You can buy Disney clothing, Disney paint from Behr, Disney food, Disney school products, Disney bedroom accessories. There's numerous theme parks - Disneyland in California, which was the first theme park ever built, Walt Disney World in Florida, the largest theme park Resort on the planet, Disneyland Paris in France, Tokyo Disneyland in Japan, and Hong Kong Disneyland in China. There's also Disney Resorts in other areas of the country, like Hilton Head and Vero Beach. There's the Disney Cruise Line which tours the Bahamas, areas of Mexico, and as of 2007, the Mediterranean. And, now, there's Adventures by Disney which allows you travel all around the world - Tuscany, Italy, France, England, Costa Rica, Australia, etc., and numerous places in the U.S., like Yellowstone National Park, Virginia, or Washington, D.C.
I'd go with Disney just because the company's so expansive. And I love Disney! |

You are aware Comcast (Partially owned by Microsoft) tried to buy Disney for $66 Billion back in 2004, right?
I believe Microsoft will increase their holdings in Comcast in the future unless they buy Time Warner or Libery Media first.
I believe Microsoft will make the films "Halo" and "Gears of War" with the help of Peter Jackson and they will make at least $2 Billion with those two films worldwide.
I believe Microsoft will buy a worldwide film distributor like Lionsgate, 2929, Time Warner, Viacom or Disney and will rent their DVDs exclusively on Blockbuster, will offer every film ever made on demand on Comcast exclusively and they will offer every film ever made in HD-DVD exclusively and that will force everybody to buy a $149.00 HD-DVD (I believe the price will drop next year) for their Microsoft XBox 360.
I believe Microsoft will sell 100,000,000 consoles in the future if they increase the hard drive to at least 60 GB and if they lower the price of their Wireless Network Adapter to $49.00 from $99.00 and if they include Project Gotham Racing 3, Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero in their hard disc and if they include include one more Peter Jackson Film with their HD-DVD and if they reduce their price for TV shows when a customer buys the entire season and even more if a customer buys the entire series and they start using the HD-DVD to play videogames and if every TV or Film you ever rented on Xbox can be moved to a Zune for FREE and transmitted to your friend's Xbox or Zune for 90% of the price and the person sending the file gets a 10% cut (That will increase sales for sure by several billion) and if that friend sends the file to another friend then the price drops to 80% and he gets 10% and the first one gets 9% and after the ten generations the price is drop to $0.00 (The last generation gets the file with commercials for FREE and the previous generations still get a cut at 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1% and the last one I haven't figure it out already)
To keep General Electric, Time Warner, Viacom and Disney interested every TV show will include a commercial for a current TV show and every film will include a commercial for a current Film. (If the demographics are the same, of course)
Also you can move the TV shows or movies you rent on Xbox to your Cell Phone.
I could go on for days.
Microsoft share price will double and they will become the first $500 Billion company ever.
Right now the most valuable company in the World is Exxon Mobil at $460 Billion give or take a few billions. |
