COMMENT	Cineplex Inc(CGX-T) April 10, 2019 They are diversifying away from movies through the Rec Room and launching more. They have to invest money in building this operation, so it'll take a few years before the Rec Room adds to the revenue stream. This will make Cineplex an all-around entertainment centre, not just movies. They're also moving into e-gaming. All this takes time to add to revenues and requires some debt now. The stock in 2017 came off because of weak movie releases and the general overhang in this sector is Netflix. But good movies will sell movie tickets. other services 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	They are diversifying away from movies through the Rec Room and launching more.

COMMENT	Cineplex Inc(CGX-T) April 9, 2019 Are the Rec Rooms really profitable? Their costs seems high, according to their reports. CGX is competing with streaming companies--not only Netflix, but Disney and others. But they have done a great job increasing their revenue in areas of food. Many people have big TV screens, too, which is another problem. CGX has been creative in bringing opera, live hockey and gaming to its cinemas. other services 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Are the Rec Rooms really profitable?

BUY	Cineplex Inc(CGX-T) April 8, 2019 He is looking at CGX-T as it has a fat dividend yield and the stock has come way off. It has been very well managed over the years. If they are successful on their games room they will do well. There could be an uptick in movie attendance over the next year. The only issue is that CGX's debt is constantly expanding.

BUY	Cineplex Inc(CGX-T) April 1, 2019 It's been a disaster for three years, but their multiple is slightly less than its U.S. peers and has a better balance sheet and further ahead in diversifying away from movie-going. It has one of the best management teams in Canada, but there's a misconception that movie-going is dead. That's incorrect. The dividend is safe. They've raised ticket prices and popcorn. The dividend is safe, because they're spending cash on growth projects. Their Rec Room has been doing very well, but be patient with Cineplex with a 2-3 time horizon. other services 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	It's been a disaster for three years, but their multiple is slightly less than its U.S. peers and has a better balance sheet and further ahead in diversifying away from movie-going.

WEAK BUY	Cineplex Inc(CGX-T) March 26, 2019 It's been a rollercoaster, killed in Q4. but he's expected a big year in the cinemas in Q2 and Q3 with a lot of box office money to be made. Also, the Rec Rooms and selling wine and beer in all theatres are good diversifiers. CGX competes with home video streaming, though. CGX is priced at a big discount to its profits in Q2 and Q3 and to its American peers. This is a contrarian play on move-going. other services 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	It's been a rollercoaster, killed in Q4. but he's expected a big year in the cinemas in Q2 and Q3 with a lot of box office money to be made.

DON'T BUY	Cineplex Inc(CGX-T) March 25, 2019 They're up against streaming like Apple TV (announced today) and held hostage to the big movies they release--recent films have disappointed at the box office. Cineplex has diversified into the Rec Room. He has owned this. The 7.25% yield is sustainable and good. It's well-run, but in a changing industry and isn't sure they can keep up with changes. CGX is fairly valued now. other services 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	They're up against streaming like Apple TV (announced today) and held hostage to the big movies they release--recent films have disappointed at the box office.

DON'T BUY	Cineplex Inc(CGX-T) February 25, 2019 He's owned this from time to time, but CGX is frustrating. It plays the movie pipeline, hits or misses, the stock rises or falls.

PAST TOP PICK	Cineplex Inc(CGX-T) February 12, 2019 (A Top Pick Feb 20/18, Down 11%) Disappointed. He got stopped out last November. He's more interested in the experience factor: Rec Room and Top Golf. If they accelerate both those, this could be a good player. other services 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	(A Top Pick Feb 20/18, Down 11%) Disappointed. He got stopped out last November.

BUY	Cineplex Inc(CGX-T) January 28, 2019 Excellent management team – they have done all the right things. It got expensive and then the stock came down. The box-office has been very stable for decades. They added a lot of services. Now is a time to buy it. The game centers are where the growth will come from. It is at a neutral valuation and he does not see a lot of downside from here.

DON'T BUY	Cineplex Inc(CGX-T) January 15, 2019 It got hit hard in the first half of 2018 over premium video on demand (shrinking shorter release windows of movies from cinemas to streaming/TV). It then got hit hard in Q4. This continues to be a show-me story. The Rec Room and gaming investments are still TBD in terms of how they affect the bottom line. He keeps passing on this stock; their future is too uncertain given Netflix and home viewing. 6.3% yield. other services 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	It got hit hard in the first half of 2018 over premium video on demand (shrinking shorter release windows of movies from cinemas to streaming/TV).

WATCH	Cineplex Inc(CGX-T) January 9, 2019 A controversial stock. Has performed badly, after being a market darling. Under secular threat, as people flock to streaming. Is trying to reinvent itself, pivoting to new revenue sources such as liquor and the "Rec Room." Tapping into digitization. Likes the strategy, but it's too early. Look for signs that share price is turning around, such as earnings momentum and beating forecasts. Beware the dead cat bounce. other services 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	A controversial stock.

HOLD	Cineplex Inc(CGX-T) January 7, 2019 Sell underperformers and switch to those with more potential in a recovery? It's always hard. It's a game of averages. You have to go with your best idea that you have the most conviction in. Small caps do worse in a lousy market compared to big caps. It's cheap here. Got hammered last quarter with concerns about the media division, but he thinks this is temporary. But his opinion may not be the best, as he's liked this for 3 years and it's only gone one way. other services 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Sell underperformers and switch to those with more potential in a recovery?
