. >> well, look, i've known dan loeb forever and i think he was trying to be helpful facilitating a conversationwe look at everything. we think whenever there's an opportunity for consolidation or an opportunity of scale that makes sense, we look at those type of deals. and sony was no exception. it would be ridiculous for me to deny we were interested because there are e-mails now in the ether showing that we were. >> now that it has, though, suffered, you know, the losses associated with "the interview," perhaps in a weakened position, does that make it more of an attractive target. >> i think they did a great job with "the interview" taking it out, what they did. again, streaming around the globe. do i think they're vulnerable? i think it depends how their slate goes going forward. it was unfortunate that the hack took place. and i think it's bad for the industry and that e-mails are private get published. >> have you done anything to shore up your own cyber defenses? >> you know, we pay attention to it. our i.t. department looks at everything. i would guess the world e-mails less and talks m

made dan loeb millions in 2012. it could get softer from here though.e people are talking about venezuela, which is a disaster. every time oil goes lower, it gets even worse. so you can buy right now a venezuela bond that pays you 41 cents in march for only -- yesterday you could have bought it for 49 cents. pay 52 cents, you'll get paid 41 cents in march, 41 cents the following year. >> if you think they're actually -- >> if you think they're actually going to pay. >> if this is important, can you be here every day so you can say that for us? >> or maybe there. if i could ever get a visa into country, i would do it there. some just -- i can't control it. it just comes out. and i can do others. >> and gomez would like -- >> we should see if there is a grexit. >> so that -- yeah. it's a haircut, right? the yield is so you're going to get paid. and then, in addition to that is recovery value. so they seem to make money. and the reason, remember this, there is really important. greece has a lot of debt. more than 300 million. but tradeable debt is only 30

dan loeb at yahoo!xample -- if the point of the activism is done within a long-term timeframe even though people are trying to make money now, i don't think there's anything wrong with that. i think it is probably better for stocks and companies and better for boards to be challenged that way. >> that seems to be the bill ackman strategy. it was a losing bet for jcpenney but he stuck with it. >> until last year. >> it's not about him trying to make a big buck necessarily. >> when i spoke to him, his strategy is long-term and i think that's how he makes of himself. probably his critics would say otherwise. if you are an individual shareholder and i think that's probably how some of us have to think about it, i don't know it's a bad thing to have people like bill ackman out there agitating points that certain boards or ceos need to make changes. but i agree with you about the long-term timeframe. also, it gets complicated when you look at companies that are good companies and strong companies that have be
