    Yep. We will. I don’t read so much into fluctuations in the stock market, especially highly distorted views like “let’s compare a company to its 5 year peak to assess how they’re doing.” What has Meta done in the last 5 months to triple its value? Why is Amazon down 25% from its 5 year peak? Why is Tesla down over 50% from its 5 year peak? I guess these companies are worthless and Meta is taking over the world? No. The stock price measures the perceived opportunity for gain from short term speculative investment, not financial performance, not assets, not the strength of the Disney IP catalog.
