Disney vs. Activist Investor: The Battle Begins
In a match up that seems straight out of a sci fi movie Disney is about to face a formidable opponent in the form of activist investor Nelson Peltz accompanied by his trusty sidekick Trian Fund Management. Will Mickey Mouse and his crew be able to hold their ground against this dynamic duo?
Playing the X Game
To gain visibility for their cause Peltz and Trian Fund Management will take to X formerly known as Twitter. It seems like even aliens from outer space are embracing the power of social media. Next thing you know we'll see aliens taking selfies in Times Square!
RestoreTheMagic.com: A Website or a Spell?
Peltz and his team will also be adding content to their website RestoreTheMagic.com. Is this some kind of magical incantation to bring Disney back to its former glory? We'll have to wait and see what tricks they have up their sleeves.
The White Paper: Will It Be a Fairy Tale Ending?
A dense white paper is in the works which will explain Peltz's case for joining Disney's board. Will it be a gripping story with plot twists and turns or just another snooze inducing corporate document? We can only hope for some unexpected surprises.
A March with Proxy Solicitors
Trian plans to meet with proxy solicitors Glass Lewis and ISS in February. It's like going on a march but instead of protesting on the streets they're lobbying shareholders behind closed doors. Who knew activism could be so civilized?
Calling All Shareholders: The Battle Cry
Once Trian has rallied its troops it will begin lobbying shareholders to support their cause. Will they be able to strike fear into the hearts of Disney's investors or will it all be met with a collective yawn and a click of the TV remote?

I'm rooting for Nelson Peltz and Trian. It's about time Disney had some fresh faces on the board. Mickey and his gang could use a shake-up.

I wonder if Nelson Peltz has ever done an executive search for aliens. Maybe he could find some new recruits for the 'Men in Black'!

If Nelson Peltz and Trian succeed, maybe they can teach Mickey Mouse a thing or two about running a profitable business. It's about time he stopped relying on those talking animals!
