    Disney To Forgo Semi Annual Dividend

    Really shows how bad this is hitting. When a company like that has liquidity concerns it indicates that we will likely have a lot of bankruptcies in the hospitality and leisure space.

    90% decrease in profit will do that to a company. Combine that with the fact they aren't likely to open their parks until January 2021 and it compounds the problem....

    Yep but then expand that scenario onto airlines, cruise ships, rental car companies and hotels and it looks like we are in for a real train wreck.

    Makes me want to do some selling instead of holding long on some of the lotto plays I'm in like PLAY, CCL, MITT, etc.

    I sold my CCL at a very minimal 100 gain, bought 200 shares and got scared to hold it...

    A lot is going to depend on what happens when we reopen. All eyes are on Disney Shanghai. When the cruises start sailing again it will be telling without a vaccine. If we get another quarantine on a ship it could really hurt them. Not much clarity or certainty right now.

    It sure seems like an all or nothing bet. V shaped we go back to normal quick or U shaped and it takes awhile. I am more in the U shaped camp but its anyones guess at this point.

    What gets me is some are already recovered nicely. I think we'll see more of a U shaped recovery too, as long as we don't see a case spike with everything reopening.

    Yeah I don't get that either. I mean it will recover at some point but do I want to own the stock right now if the return to normal is maybe 2 years away? People seem to be pricing in the best possible outcome, which could happen but I'm not as confident. I can't see people wearing masks in Casinos either. They can't smoke or drink with the masks on (if they still permit smoking in Vegas casinos. I haven't been there in awhile). And then if they require social distancing then you may have someone playin at every other slot machine, sitting in every other chair at the table etc. And then there will be the increased cost of having to sanitize everything each day and providing staff with the requisite protective equipment.
