Bizarre comment. Individual investors are not guaranteed a dividend. If you are expecting a dividend and it doesn’t appear then you are free to sell your shares and invest elsewhere. Your only input to the corporation is your vote for board members and your buying/selling of shares of stock. Now, it seems like some companies have always issued dividends but that is not a guarantee that they always will. Oh, and by the way, many equity mutual funds own Disney. Chances are that if you own shares of a non-market segment mutual fund, you own shares of Disney.

If the investors are then I assume the Corporations could divert dividend payments for whatever they determine is more important.
