It's been more than eight months since Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) last traded in the triple digits, but momentum is finally on its side. The stock that has lost to the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) for three consecutive years has more than doubled the market's return in January with a 6% return heading into this week. This could be the time for the entertainment giant to end its run of trading exclusively in the double digits since early May of last year.
