TOP PICK

Has been dead money for years and looks like it is starting to move up again. Goes the way of the US markets. He likes it a lot. Moving above all the moving averages. Nice and liquid and you should hold it.

DON'T BUY

Not a bad holding, dividend is safe, but he would rather be elsewhere. GE has so many businesses.

HOLD

It is moving along with the market. Slowly getting their act together over the last 10 years. They have been quietly restructuring. He would probably look elsewhere but this is one to consider – see his top picks – UTX or Honeywell.

DON'T BUY

His model price is $15.29 which is a negative of about 17%. Has never really liked this stock for years and still doesn't. They need to do a restructuring and a lot of that has to do with GE Capital. Thinks the stock still goes to $20.80. Stock has a beta of 1 so if the market goes up, this one goes up in sympathy. There are better companies elsewhere.

DON'T BUY

Owned for many years but recently exited the name. CEO took over just days after 9/11 and has had a very tough decade. 2008 was very tough on this company. Not getting the traction on the earnings side. Have made some headway but feels there are better industrials out there.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Under $20 or under $16 it is a pretty good buy.

DON'T BUY

Trading around 10X forward earnings. Perhaps 10% long-term earnings growth. Below the 50-200 day moving averages. 31% of its revenues are still derived from the financial side. For industrials he prefers Caterpillar (CAT-N) or Honeywell (HON-N).

SELL

Was long time holder, recently sold. Has disappointed over and over.

COMMENT

Very high quality company that can be had at a very good price but it is so large, it is growth challenged. Doesn't own the stocks but owns many of their fixed income instruments.

BUY

Great company. Stock has done nothing for a long time. Business has been re-created in much more manufacturing and much less financial services. The manufacturing is really doing well and coming into its own. Stock in the future.

DON'T BUY

GE Capital grew so rapidly, it overshadowed the rest of their businesses and gave it a very high multiple. Capital is now slowly being wound down and you are looking at the core businesses, which are industrial. You don't want to pay 25X earnings for an industrial company of rather 10 or 15 times.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A better company than in 2000. Reduced risk by reducing financial services. Really well run company and dividend is secure. He would own it if it fell to $13

BUY

Margins don’t look good going forward. He favours this stock and sector for the rest of this year. We are breaking a trend line going down. It is a strong seasonal time for GE. Another time from Jan 23-May 5.

DON'T BUY

Had trouble with finance part of business. Have slowly been bringing themselves out of it. It is a show-me stock. They are starting to do that. Thinks they may be starting to gain traction.

DON'T BUY

Industrial name trading about 11.5 times forward earnings. Being industrial, he would avoid it until we have more clarity on what is happening in Europe.
