DON'T BUY

Not been a fan for a long time. Grew by acquisition and when they weren't allowed to acquire Honeywell (HON-N) it didn't allow them to really grow. Will never get the high multiples that it did prior to that. Although GE Capital is healing itself, it is still a very large part of their business so is still under performing. Businesses they have gone into are higher volatility.

BUY

Trading at 11-12 times next year's earnings. In the process of getting rid of the majority stake of NBC Universal. Their finance arm is doing a little bit better. Very reasonable price.

DON'T BUY

So diversified it is a barometer for the economy. If looking for above average market return this company will just match it at this point. GE Capital did not go through as much turmoil as other financials so that is a positive. Trading at 14X earnings and long-term growth is at 11% so not overwhelming. Prefers others such as Kansas City Southern (KSU-N) and Deere (DE-N).

BUY

Quietly restructuring. Sold off fire security business, sold controlling interest in NBC and taking greater control of their GE Capital unit. What's left is an industrial and infrastructure juggernaut that has huge explosion to global expansion. Expect it to earn $1.30 this year.

BUY

Almost a proxy for the US industrial base. Very diverse and across very many product platforms. Dividend is poised for an increase. Good price. Their financial division is on a slow recovery mode.

BUY

He owned it on the way down and bought more. The market zeroed in on its financial side and it followed financial stocks. It’s a multi-industry company. They worked on fixing the balance sheet on the finance side. He is a big believer in the stock and believes they will be buying back stock next year.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jun 8/09, Up 17.21%)

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jun 23/09, Up 35.09%) Thinking of selling. Chart looks really bad. It is falling down to support. Upward trend has been broken. If it holds here and rallies back to $17 he would hold it. He will sell in the next week otherwise.

TOP PICK

If economy gets hit then they will get hit. They were smart to cut the dividend. It’s a good, relatively conservative call.

BUY

Had their problems with the GE Capital unit. Getting their house in order and quietly restructuring. Sold some assets and are focusing on their core competencies. This will lead to a great global infrastructure/industrial play.

TRADE

Late cycle business provides some support. It is a call on the whole US economy. If thing improve, will increase dividends.

BUY

Turnaround story on the finance side. Into a host of other activities such as water, solar, wind and many other things. Treat as a long-term hold.

BUY

Has moved off the bottom with a lot of other stocks but is still trading at only 12-13 times earnings. Can see good earnings growth.

DON'T BUY

Industrial space is a cyclical area and this one is the broad-based call on the global economy. About the 50 and 200 day moving averages. He would prefer something like Deere (DE-N) or Boeing (BA-N).

SELL

(Market Call Minute.) Still has the GE Capital situation hanging over them. Have been selling assets to raise cash.
