PARTIAL BUY

It's pricey but should be. Goldman Sachs predicts a blockbuster year for them and it's justified in this reopening. LN sells beer, t-shirts and VIP packages which offer super-high margins. LN controls so many venues and faces little competition. A great company, but not cheap.

BUY
Will virtual concerts during the lockdown be a long-term risk? No. People want to throw on their rock t-shirts and rock out at the clubs. Live Nation 3.0 is breaking out a vertical where they own and operate their own venues is exciting.
WEAK BUY
He won't bet against the CEO, but it's run up a lot. Will give it the benefit of the doubt.
BUY
Terrible pre-vaccine, but super post-vaccine. But don't buy until the stock starts to rise.
WAIT
Has recovered a bit. But are we really going to be going to concerts and games next year? Once we see a vaccine, this stock has some value. Monopoly, a great company. Uncertainty keeps him away.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 01/19, Up 15%) A global company. Artists are now making money from concerts. They own Ticketmaster and then attendees pay for parking, concessions, and lots of add-ons. It's never been cheap and it will never be cheap since it's a great operation.
TOP PICK
It's the top concert venue and ticketing company in the world. He believes heavily in experiental consumerism, like concerts. LYV is perfect for this. (Analysts’ price target is $76.85)
PARTIAL SELL
He recently sold all his position. It’s found a short term bottom. He’s not looking to get back in, since there are better opportunities elsewhere. Some investors are providing support but they seem to fade away and get another round of sellers. Get out if it goes below $61.50.
BUY
Likes it. Bit of a monopoly on the business. Near oligopoly. Chart looks strong. Revenue from concerts, ticketing, and sponsorship and advertising.
TOP PICK
They own Ticketmaster who lose money on promoting artists, but make money on all else like t-shirts and parking, not to mention advertising at events--this is all free money to LYV. They 93 million fans at concerts in 2018 and they expedct 125 million in 4 years. (Analysts’ price target is $64.50)
DON'T BUY

They manage large events at sport venues all over the world. The stock is very expensive. It is actively growing. It is far too expensive on valuation multiple. This is a consumer discretionary spending investment.

HOLD

It has been in a great long term uptrend and is now consolidating. It is not in danger, but he would watch for a break below recent significant lows. He would not put new money into it, but would continue to hold.

RISKY

He has not done a lot of work on this company, but is aware they have been putting up monster earnings results. They are consistent earnings beaters, but when there are not on guidance, it is usually earnings lower than target. This makes the stock too risky for his conservative investments, but would consider it a speculative buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Past Top Pick on April 17, 2017, Up 30%) They sold tickets to 30,000 concerts last year globally. Revenues up around 20% in 2017, though this growth likely won't continue at this pace. That said, sponsorship, ticket sales and beer revenues all point to good revenues this year. You can't download a live show.

SELL

A rollercoaster. Doesn't look good. Had support at $41.80 and doesn't see a bounce-back without a rise in volume. Wait till it hits $39.80 to see buying support. We don't see that now. If you hold, sell below $35.
