It's one of the best integrated oil ompanies. Great balance sheet. Always improving their cost structure. Not an expensive stock. He used to own it. Well-run. Great company. As for oil, it's stuck between $60-80, and oil dynamics are really hard to predict, especially with shale oil coming on as the price falls. In Canada, we have a huge differential because we can't get oil out without more pipelines.

But he worries about audiences changing their viewing habits, meaning watching from home or downloading for free, especially by young people. He'd rather buy this at 15x earnings. Also, not every year do you get blockbuster movies.

They bought a dealership in the U.S. which didn't make sense with no synergies. Management has become unfocussed again.

Goldman Sachs is an incredible franchise, not expensive as it trades at slightly above book value and a low PE. GS stayed with fixed income whereas other investment banks cut back aggressively, because this area drained capital and reduced ROE. GS is one of the top investment banks.
