He owns Linamar instead. Both are suffering from perception with EPS plunging--car sales have peaked and there are fears that ride sharing will dominate more. Will people keep buying new cars?

We are living in a strange world where Tesla has a higher market cap than GM. There has been a stall in new car sales globally, especially in China where sales declined. He thinks all the parts manufacturers will suffer to a degree. Magna will be a survivor and will make the transition into electric cars going forward.

Generates good free cash flow. Diversified. A solid, long-term investment. Car sales are under pressure in Europe and China (holding on so far in North America). Also, e-cars are gaining traction, and the car companies must adjust. Magna and Linamar should do well adapting to changes. There's little upside in the car industry in the short term; this space will remain volatile.
