PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Sep 10’08) The market wasn’t valuing the industrial side. The financial side will take care of itself. It is a first class company and is a good value at this price.

BUY

Likes it. Good company. Valuation is way more attractive than it was in the past.

COMMENT

Still has a tremendous market position in very important businesses including aircraft engines, energy, etc. If you have patience, it's an interesting Buy. Still have some troubles to work out of GE Capital but core businesses should do very well.

BUY

Very diversified company so you are really buying the US economy. If you want a diversified play it is probably it is probably a decent investment at these levels. Their financial division is plagued by consumer loan problems, mortgages, etc. and has been a drag on the stock. This will slowly be on the mend. (See Top Picks.)

COMMENT

Great industrial operations. The difficulty is, it has a big financial arm. Essentially you are getting a quasi-financial, which is going to be a drag over the next few years. You probably won't get a decent dividend anytime soon because they will want to reinvest their cash into the business.

DON'T BUY

A fascinating company because of the range of products and areas that they touch on. His concern is that such a large percentage of their earnings comes from their financial side. For a long-term investment he would prefer 3M (MMM-N).

BUY

A major portion of this company is its financial services. Seems to have bottomed and has been going up since. Feeling more comfortable with this. Expect they will start raising their dividends again.

TRADE

Not going to be an earth-shattering mover. If you are looking to make your money back. You’re not going to be happy. One they get that financial division turned around within a couple of years…They make that stuff for roads and dams that no one else makes. In the next 3-5 years you will see this stock triple.

DON'T BUY

A lot of the story is about the finance subsidiary. This is much more of a financial company than most people think. Huge financial arm that made a lot of investments. Loaned money for companies to buy their aircraft parts, utility equipment, railcars, etc. A lot of the easy money’s been made.

BUY

On a 2 to 3 year perspective he likes it. Major driving force will be a pickup in industrial activity and improving financial services picture. Close to 5% of their sales is coming from wind. Solar is infinitesimally small but they want to build it up. Also very big in the water area. 2.8% yield but he is buying for stock price appreciation.

HOLD

Earnings are starting to come back but still below where they where a year or so ago but still up significantly from where they where 50 or 6 years ago when the stock was a lot higher.

COMMENT

As a holding for 4 to 5 years? Currently it is just skirting the 200-day moving average. If it can get above that and hold the underlying support it will probably look pretty good. Be cautious of their financial arm and some of the problems they have had.

DON'T BUY

Current yields are at 3.26%, which is not too bad. If they get their business up and running strongly again they could raise their dividends once again. Over the next little while, the stock is a mixed bag at best. In the industrial space he would consider something like 3M (MMM-N) or United Technologies (UTX-N).

DON'T BUY

The issues are surrounding their industrial side but the financial side was actually not that bad over the last quarter although part of the gain was because they reduced provisions for losses. There has also been some weakness on the healthcare side. Would look at other stocks.

TOP PICK

US giant that has been beaten up pretty hard. Still have really good businesses and infrastructure. One of the best positioned companies in power. Big wart is GE Capital and they are addressing this. Worst is behind them. Will still take a couple of years for GE Capital to recover but the rest of the business is doing very well. Generates a tremendous amount of cash flow.
