this super cycle they have between marvel and lucas films and pixar. this is a long-term trade. when they reported in november, there was disappointing results out of the media. that is espn and advertising. i think we see a continuation of that. i want to look at a short-term trade. if it went back to october lows, i would be in the lower or middle 80s. given the market we are in. options look cheap to me. when the stock was 92. i bought 92 half and 87 half for $1.50. that is my max risk. i sold one at the fed at 60 cents. i can make 350 between 97 .50. look at how quickly the stock dropped in the afternoon today. this is the set up they think the stocks need a reset. disney can have it next week. >> you think it could see low 80s? >> that seems aggressive. if a stock is in a perfect uptrend, the only way a good thing can end is that it gets too hot or starts to go skplimp roll over. this has done neither it. hasn't gotten expensive or shown you that it is in trouble. the burden of proof is on the bearer. >> the other thing i would quickly point out is that the s&p is expensive

pixar's "cars". i can't imagine there was a better title than "cars". originally they were going to call it "the automotive industrial complex and the exploration of the global addiction to fossil fuels". [ cheers and applause ] i think they realized the movie is supposed to be for kids and not 60-year-old liberals, and kids would be super bummed out by that title. next we have a 1971 classic "willy wonka and the chocolate factory", the story of an eccentric chocolate maker who wants to give his factory to a child after he retires. here's the original title. "willy wonka: who wants to own my orange slaves next?" [ laughter and applause ] got to say, i would have stuck with that one. i like that title. and finally, ladies really got into this last movie, "love actually." [ cheers and applause ] would they have gone to see it with the movie's original title, "dead wife, cheating husband, guy in love with his best friend's wife, prime minister falls in love with his maid, and woman who will never find love because she has to take care of her handicapped br

we saw pixar get bought by disney.s there a chance that anybody comes and buys dreamworks, to put some support under the stock? >> i can't tell you what will not happen. i will tell you that in my opinion it makes no sense for anyone to buy dreamworks animation. the last six original films they leased four lost money. dozens of millions of dollars. what it is currently, it's $220 million in sgna company that releases films that lose money. i don't see why anyone would want to be involved with that. >> okay. no white knight according to you. your price target is $17. it's currently at, what, $19 and change. very interesting conversation. >> if 66% of your recent products have lost money, that's not -- >> that's not good. >> that's not a positive. >> definitely not. >> i still want to see penguins of madagascar. i like them. >> lemurs of madagascar. the ring-tailed legalure. >> on deck, the one sector that may be the most helped by lower gas prices and a fund manager's picks for the best stocks in that sector. >> and the

you have a pixar movie from "inside out." the hits keep coming.f all them deliver in reality like they look to do on paper, it's going to be a massive box office year. >> in the same way, paul, that controversy really stood up a lot of people to go and see the interview. do you think that the big controversy surrounding american sniper is going to help people to it as well. i'm not making any judgment on what i think about it, but there's a lot of conversation about whether or not it glorifies a hero or a killer. people on both sides of the tracks have very strong views. >> look, when a movie conversation piece, that translates in many cases to big box office dollars. no question there's a huge conversation surrounding this movie, and so people no matter how they feel about the movie, they're going to want to see it to get in on that conversation, to be at the heart of that, and also let's face it, all this, you know, press devoted to these recordbreaking numbers. numbers we normally do not see in january is contributing to this increased momentum
