DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute) Too complicated for him. Prefers others.

COMMENT

Stumbled with its financial product and because it is so broadly exposed to US industry, it took a hit. Has some terrific businesses including turbines, jet engines, etc.

WEAK BUY

Likes the industrial space in general. This one is just bumping up against its 200-day moving average and he wonders if it will stop in that area. Like buying the entire index because they are in so many different spaces. Earnings momentum is relatively flat. Current year and next year's growth is on par with the rest of the S&P 500.

HOLD

Was thought of as an industrial/infrastructure company, but more and more through the decades they stretched for yields via GE Capital, which taught them a lesson. Restructured. Still own GE Capital but much smaller and less leveraged. Actually made money last quarter. With re-emerging global economies, their industrial/infrastructure parts are doing well. Expect they'll earn $1.30 next year and grow their business 15%-18%.

HOLD

Pretty fairly valued at this time. Thinks the worries are over with this one. The capital business has shrunk a little. Still a great global company. Will probably see very slow growth in the multiple.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Sept 11/09, Up 8%) He is not in love with this stock, but still likes it. It trades like a US financial stock. Sell on strength

DON'T BUY

GE Capital was driving them for many years and that hurt them in 2008. Other parts of the business are very good. Doesn't think it will ever get the valuation that it had 5 years ago. Recent acquisitions have been higher risk.

HOLD

Quietly restructuring and the latest earnings release showed an increase in earnings. Also building out their industrial and infrastructure business to take advantage of the emerging market. Expect they will earn $1.25-$1.30 next year. Have plans to increase dividends over time.

COMMENT

Has been pretty much a proxy for the overall market. 70% of sales come from North America or Europe. Chart shows a potential rounded top indicating a more weakening of buyers. Has overhead resistance at about $16.50. About 3% yield.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 8/09. Up 21.23%.) Still a Hold.

COMMENT

If you are looking out 5-10 years, he likes it because of all the interesting things they are into such as water, solar, etc that represents US growth. If you are a short-term trader, you could buy it for a trade if you happen to like the market.

BUY

Had problems over the last few years having gotten caught up in the 2008 financial debacle. They are now quietly restructuring and becoming what they used to be, a global industrial/infrastructure player. Expect they will earn $1.30-$1.35 this year. Not expensive. Buy for the long-term.

WEAK BUY

One of the most diverse and largest companies globally. Market treats it purely as a financial stock and almost ignores all the industrial and consumer parts.

BUY

Proxy for world economy. So many businesses are dependent on economic growth. Is a good time to buy ready for economic growth in 2011. Very solid company with products in so many markets.

DON'T BUY

Industrial products division has been a little sluggish but starting to see some long-term improvement. Problem is their capital market side which is no longer an AAA credit. 2.6% dividend. Not a fan.
