Christine PooleEmerson ElectricEMRTOP PICKOct 07, 2014

It reports next week. Happy that it topped $100. But a lot of industrials are lagging because of fears over an economic slowdown. This remains a core holding for him.

They bought a company that screwed up their business, but is now past that and is now fine.

Well-run. Maybe buy it during this pullback and she is certainly watching it. The U.S. has picked up oil demand, so Emerson's orders have grown.

Owned it a few years ago but sold it. They are seeing good growth. A very well managed industrial company. She would probably not buy it here. They had a strong quarter and upped their guidance. She would wait for weakness.

He likes it and holds it here. Since June this cyclical wave came in and cheaper stocks benefited from a growth economy and did well. You want to focus on cheaper stocks that are more industrial and this stock looks good. They are poised to benefit from the ‘Buy America’ trend Trump is trying to instigate.

It is in the same category as GE-N, but not as interesting. It saw a recent peak in 2014. You want to own this stock at a time like this. Own it inexpensively and into a growth economy.

This is below the 50, 100 and 200 day moving averages, which themselves are falling, so the trend looks pretty negative from a technical perspective. Trading at 15X forward earnings with probably a 5%-6% long-term growth rate, putting it at a 3X PEG ratio. Too rich for him.

(Top Pick Sep 9/14, Down 26.18%) Some of their key end markets are 15% energy. They are seeing weakening demand. Emerging markets are 37% of their revenues. 12% China. The market is selling down these names. It is a well managed 125 year old company.
