However AD=3.25% of portfolio/ cost base $27.00 held since 2013,BDT=3.00%/cost base is $12.10 held since 2013 have been holds for their dividends. BOS=2%/cost $15.25 was bought for capital gain hopes. All three are having negative earnings currently.

Q: Good morning everyone,

Something is not making sense in the market here. Disney buys 33% of Neulions competitor BAMtech for $1 billion.

$1 Billion / .33 = assumed market cap by Disney (liquidity discount most likely applies, but lets negate it) of $6 billion.

Neulion has a market cap of $220 million.

Neulion has, NBA, NFL, global soccer, UFC, tennis locked in, BAMtech has NHL, MLB, PGA. Therefore Neulion > BAMtech in my mind.

$3 billion > 220 million by 13.6x. Is there something I am missing in regards to this massive valuation difference? Technology? Does Disney see some second level of montetization that the market can't comprehend? A special deal perhaps? I picked up more to make a medium sized holding, but will sell if you guys could potential shave off the valuation gap.

Q: Hello,
Do you still have a positive outlook for these 3 companies (2 year outlook). I currently own these 3 stocks and I am tempted to take some profit but do not need the money at the moment. Sector allocation is still fine.

Also, with oil now at $42, can you please share your short term outlook. Should we expect some increased volatilty over the next few months ? Thank you.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
BXE just reported horrible numbers. Since I am not an accountant... I am wondering about all these financial transactions. Do they really reduce there debt and put them on a more sustainable footing going forward. Do they really buy them time and the ability to survive this down cycle? I realize an increase in oil price would be great news for all energy companies!
Thanks for your time and insightful thoughts... and yes you are always great on BNN! Ha!Ha!
