DON'T BUY

Doesn't think management has run the business very well. Should have spun off the industrial and medical device business away from GE Capital. Will be difficult for them to get out from under GE Capital’s umbrella and this could affect their dividend.

WAIT

In distress because of GE Capital, not their operating businesses. Has never liked them because they grew by acquisition. Couldn't do the Honeywell deal so haven't grown as quickly. Thinks there will be further fallout from GE Capital and that is when you want to buy it.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't think this is a value buy right now. It will test its lows and break through them again. 2 big problems. Their financial services should be separated from the rest of the assets. CEO advised that the 09 dividend was safe but refuse to answer a question about 2010 dividend.

HOLD

A lot of great assets as well as some distressed assets. Great assets are somewhat recession prone but if economy improves they should do better. However GE capital side may have further problems. Risky stock at this point. Yield of 9.25%.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Will be affected by the recession in North America and has a large financial arm but thinks management is good and they have enough attractive operating parts to make this a successful investment longer-term.

HOLD

Made up of 2 parts. 1) Industrial conglomerate and 2) financial side. Financials are causing the stock to suffer. Industrial part is being hurt by the worldwide recession. To do well, it needs confidence to come back to the financial market and the recession to pass. Almost 9% yield.

COMMENT

Proxy for the global economy. Headwinds in the global economy are so strong that he sees it hard for the company to make a large recovery. Could see $17 in the next 6 months but not a great situation as global economy is contracting and they live off the leverage. Positive side is the federal funding they get. Probably oversold. 8% yield. (See Top Picks.)

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Hasn’t got much going for it from a Fair Market Value point of view.

DON'T BUY

Sold half his position at about $18. Has become very worried about its financial arm and credit rating. If you buy the bonds that are due in the next few years, they should not be a problem.

BUY

Thinks management will do everything they can to maintain the 8% dividend. In an enviable position on the infrastructure side of the business. The world leader in power. Also a dominant player on the medical side.

TOP PICK

Capital Bonds 5.37% maturing 2037. Doesn't usually lend money for a long period but the spreads have widened out because of the credit issues. GE Capital is now a bank and their commercial paper is being bought by the US. Capital market is slowly being healed and he thinks the spreads will come in at which time you will have a huge capital gain.

TOP PICK

GE Capital Bonds 5.37% maturing in 2037. Usually you don't want to lend to anybody for more than 5 to 7 years but this is extraordinary. Gives you about 383 basis points over long Canada. Rated AAA, the highest bond rating possible. When the world becomes normal, spreads will come right in and you'll get a massive gain.

BUY

If you are going to own a US stock, this would be one of the top ones. Yield of 7.1% allows you to wait 2 or 3 years for an economic recovery.

DON'T BUY

Concerned because it is so large and their financial aims.

BUY

He's just recently purchased it, and he likes the name. It's in a position to really participate in the stimulus infrastructure program that the (US) government is talking about. It went down to $10 but feels it is too low. Could recover, and is well priced.
