DON'T BUY

Cheap, but is concerned that it will get cheaper. Green tech exposure (wind turbines) is only about 20% of revenues. Restructuring and getting rid of their appliance division. At least 50% of the company and more than half the profit is from their finance division and this is not the time to own finances.

BUY

A global growth mutual fund that is paying you 4% instead of you paying a management fee. Infrastructure and green energy play. Fully participating in global growth. They are currently down because of their banking sector. Good buying opportunity.

HOLD

4.3% dividend is secure. Disappointed last quarter and missed earnings. Their financial arm really got hurt. Valuation is better and is almost compelling. The problem with it is that it’s technically just a black box. You can’t get all the information because of all the moving parts. You should see a recovery in 2010.

BUY

Always associated with US economy. Does a good job of looking where the future will be. Increasingly getting into wind turbines. Also a significant player in water purification. Major producer of nuclear power plants globally. Longer term, a very bullish story.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 18/07. Down 28%.) Problem in the near term is its big presence in financial services. Trying to divest themselves of some of their businesses that don't fit in to their strong growth strategy. At the highest yield and lowest valuation it has ever had. Could be a great opportunity but in the short term, who knows. Still a Hold.

COMMENT

For a long term holding of more than 5 years, this company is definitely a Buy. Essentially a proxy for the US economy, which essentially is pretty good. Has potential to do a lot better when times improve. May be nearing a bottom here.

BUY

Disappointing performer, due primarily to its financial unit. Spin off of their consumer-industrial unit is the start of trying to change their fortunes. Now yielding over 4%. Good time to add but will be a difficult 12 months ahead. Will be a good investment over the next 5 years.

PARTIAL BUY

Likes this over other industrial global stocks because they have taken a slant towards sustainability including wind power, water and energy efficiency in their lighting. Long-term hold. Start chipping away at this one.

DON'T BUY

The major difficulty with this company is that about half its earnings come from finance. Exposed to a lot of things that are going to be beneficiaries of a longer-term trends. Likes the company, but would be a little cautious about adding to it now.

DON'T BUY

The bellwether stock for the US economy. It's an OK time to put your toe in the water but he would not buy it because he is not bullish on the US economy.

BUY

A lot of financial services in their product mix and this has hurt them. Have some great products but financial services are being lumped in with other financial service companies. Trading cheaper than it has ever done with a good dividend. Good entry point for long-term investors.

HOLD

Has been a very disappointing performer. Hitting multi-year lows. Industrial side of the company is very strong. They are in all the high growth areas and well positioned internationally. The financial side has been the big drag for them. 4.5% yield. Potential of capital appreciation and increased dividends over the next 5 years. Could be some more downside.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 18/07. Down 26%.) You have never been able to Buy this cheap. Being hurt because they are a big player in financial services. Last earnings were below estimates. Good yield. Still a Buy.

COMMENT

Earnings growth will slow a little bit this year but the stock is still trading at around 13X earnings and yielding over 4%. In some businesses that have great potential. CEO is buying large number of shares.

BUY

A proxy for the entire US economy. Good at what they do in many of their businesses. Have a huge financial arm that is suffering from the angst of the entire financial sector. Probably a more attractive entry point right now than in the last 10 years. Low risk at this price.
