BUY

Has re-invented itself off of 2008. GE Capital grew to a point that it hurt them quite a bit. It is now smaller and is profitable. All of their different divisions are doing quite well in the global expansion. Feels it has a $2.50-$3 earnings potential. Close to double where it is now. Good potential.

DON'T BUY

Has hit its target and has run out of fair market value upside. Earnings have been very tepid. However as an interesting take on the company, it is worth more dead than alive. If he were running it, he would pull it apart and sell all the pieces.

COMMENT

Hit a snag because of nuclear problems in Japan. Chart shows a half a V shaped recovery. Trading a too high a valuation at 15X earnings. Can find a number of US multinationals trading at 10 or 11 times earnings. If you own, you can do well with a longer-term time horizon.

SELL

Had a big move off the bottom. Are trying to transform themselves away from financial services. Track record of CEO is mixed. Get out of the stock for a month or two.

WEAK BUY

Not liked it for a long time. It had a high multiple a lot time ago because of stability of earnings, but you saw what happened in 2008. It can go higher. Their acquisitions are in more volatile areas.

DON'T BUY

Seasonally it usually does ok until end of April. It has had resistance at recent levels. Stock is way oversold. Stochastic are starting to show signs that this stock has bottomed. Loves to own stocks that have strength relative to the market, but this one doesn’t have it. This company created the nuclear power plants in Japan. Likes the industrial sector in general but not this one.

BUY

2.9% dividend. Likes it. Traded down on the Japanese issue because of Nuclear Issue. He sees no liability. They are in the nuclear business but it is only 1%. It’s a story about a loss of the potential of what they might have gotten if we hadn’t see this issue. A good long term issue.

BUY

Not as much of a contrarian play as it was during the 2008 crisis. This company is not going to go away. Thinks they will do well as the economy recovers. Dividend is being put back little by little. IF we have a breather here, it would continue increasing afterwards.

BUY

Hold off on buying it. He sees better opportunities. GE is a proxy on the market and he sees it growing at 10%. He is not hot on industrials.

BUY

Prospects in the next 3 years? Prospects have been improving. They had actually become a financial services company at exactly the wrong time. Industrial side is now becoming more important. Not expensive here.

COMMENT

If we get an economic rebound it will probably do fairly well. Doesn’t like the black box nature of GE Financials. Will probably do very well if there is an economic rebound.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 24/10. Up 12.68%.) 10/22/2037 5.73% Bond. Sold these bonds.

BUY

Industrials are the area of the US economy that is doing extremely well. Just reported very good earnings. They right sized their financial operations. The industrial side is doing extremely well. Have molded the company into what they want t to be for the long term. Has very good earnings power.

BUY

Underscores a broader theme that is happening. A poster child for Dow 30 Components. Really good solid turn around story. Great dividend yield.

HOLD

Has had a pretty nice recovery. Has a little room to move at this juncture. Sees a near term technical peak at about $20. Doesn’t have enough Fair Market Value oomph behind it to get a good deal further than that.
