PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 10/20, Up 12%) Trades at around 14x with 32% growth rate. Has done great cost-cutting measures and expects this to go higher with the recovery. It pays a nice dividend. You want to buy when there is fear like right now.

TOP PICK

A safer way to play copper with a nice dividend. This kind of name tends to outperform the market for a couple months after a trough. A name that has displayed rigorous cost containment over the last 5 years. (Analysts’ price target is $28.00)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 08/19, Down 25%) A tough environment for them. They sold out of their holding last June around $22. They were having troubles rolling out a South American strategy so opted to move on.

BUY

Decent growth rate, good balance sheet. Even cheaper now. Markets will distort everything to the upside or downside. The script is to sell things that have really swelled, and put it into these lows. Now a ridiculously low valuation. Hold it, and add to it if you can. You want to own a name like this into the next cycle. Yield is 5.5%.

DON'T BUY

He'd never buy any stock that's falling--in a strong market. If the market weakens, this will get even weaker.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 24/19, Down 10%) It's rangebound from $22-26. He's looking for a breakout; if so, this will push much higher which happened in mid-2017. He likes Caterpillar and Tormont as well. FTT has been a laggard. If it breaks below that range, this will fall lower.

TOP PICK

A contrarian pick. If there's a recovery in manufacturing, you buy industrials like this. It's growing earnings 14% annually in the next few years mostly from cost-cutting. Trades at 12x earnings. Pays a safe 3.2% dividend, and they will buyback stock. This will grow despite a weak macro, even better in a strong macro. (Analysts’ price target is $27.75)

TOP PICK

Industrials and base metals should have a good 2020, and FTT covers both. It makes mining equipment. If copper does well, copper companies will buy from FTT. The US-China trade deal will definitely benefit China. FTT will have good upside into 2020 and 2021. (Analysts’ price target is $27.80)

DON'T BUY

Be cautious. Recently we've had a bounce in value cyclicals that we've endured a temporary slowdown and now we'll see growth ahead. He disagrees. These value stocks won't do better--we're near the end of the cycle and capital projects will slow down. Look at Caterpillar, down a third from its peak 18 months ago. The writing's on the wall for this sector--slowing down. You can hold onto a portion of this.

DON'T BUY

A big distributor of Caterpillar tractors so it’s a heavy equipment distribution company around the world. The backlog has dropped off. The market is anticipating something worse. If the economic outlook is positive, one of the stocks that will benefit. Especially from the conclusion of the tariff wars. He sees a tough period coming due to doubtful future sales.

DON'T BUY

A poor buy and hold stock. In an almost 10 year range, it’s been quite range-bound. It could go up to $28 quite quickly in the near term. It’s not a high end growth stock but a cyclical stock.

COMMENT

The interest cut today has thrown a bit of a lifeline to cyclicals like this (and delayed a recession for a little longer). Stocks like this can improve a bit, but only for a short time and until a downturn hits. It comes down to your risk tolerance and your outlook. Also, manufacturing is in a correction.

SELL ON STRENGTH

Our version of Caterpillar. If global growth continues to slow, the environment for Finning will be difficult. They have a 6-9-month window now. If Trump wins in 2020, he would take pot shots at China which will lead to a global recession that will really fit Finning. If this pops in the coming months, sell it.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 28/18, Down 24%) At the time everything looked positive. Now, the macro deteriorated with the China trade war, and Federal Reserve interest rate changes. They just beat last quarter. They’re currently growing at 16 times, and trading at 12 times, so it’s a good proposition.
