(A Top Pick April 17/17 - Up 42.2%) Did better than he expected. Still would buy it here. Ticketmaster is own by this company. Parking and some of the sponsorship is covered by this company. Tremendous business. Problem is the secret is out.
Barry Schwartz(A Top Pick July 28/16. Up 44%.) He continues to like this. This provides access for artists, venues and sells tickets for them. It has about a 3rd market share of the global concert going industry, which is very fragmented. Concert going has only declined once in the past 30 years.
Andy NasrExperiential Consumerism. Concerts and adventure travel. They make their money not on the concerts, but on the merchandise, the promotions, the sponsorships and they own a lot of the venues. They are out there buying more and more concerts and live events. They own Ticket Master. It does not pay a dividend and the balance sheet is not opaque. He thinks they can build their cash flow over 40% over the next couple of years. They have wonderful pricing power. (Analysts’ target: $33.00).
Barry SchwartzIt owns many venues and Ticketmaster too. It is a perfect example of his theme of experiential consumerism, which he is keen on at present. The problem is that the financial statements are very difficult to understand. The controlling shareholder runs the company more for their benefit than for shareholders. He has been watching it as it goes up. It is clearly a very good company in a very interesting space. He wants to assure himself that he is not paying too much.
30% market share of the global concert industry. They make acquisitions and are increasing their penetration with secondary ticket sales. Good long term growth potential.

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.
