T Rowe Price is what Warren Buffet should buy next.

$Walt Disney(DIS)$1H 2022 has been a washout for the stock - inspite of pandemic reopening, July 4th weekend sold out at Disneyland Florida, Shanghai reopening, relative better performance of Disney+ vs Netflix etc etc- but the stock ...
$Apple(AAPL)$Other than $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$, this is the only other stock with a religious fan following. Lots of positives going for the company and cash piles; the growing services revenue stream from their ecosystem plus the stock price is now plummeting- so is it a good buy now?

Plus even among these mkts and asset classes like oil, gold etc the ups and downs have been crazy in just 6 months. Currencies have been volatile too and hugely unpredictable- usd-jpy, usd-cnh etc. 1H2023 rally in select sectors has been one of the most unloved rallies too, esp as every analyst worth their salt have been predicting a market crash with oncoming recession.
