BUY

Have 2 businesses. Industrial, which is rock solid and their financial which is caught up in the credit crunch. The industrial side will benefit from the weaker US dollar. On a valuation basis, it comes out very attractive.

BUY

People will buy this stock over its competition. 3.5% yield. 10% yearly growth.

BUY

Has continued to grow its earnings at about 10%. In a very good economy, that might ratchet up to 13% or 14%. Longer term, this stock will get organic growth in the 10% to 13% range, which will allow the stock price to grow at 10% or 13%.

COMMENT

Very diversified company. More than half of its earnings come from outside the US. However, a big part of their operations is GE Finance (GFN-A), which could be directly or indirectly involved in some of these large loans. This has affected the stock price. Looking out 1 or 2 years, this stock could do well.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't own this because of GE Capital, their financial subsidiary. The stock is down because people are worried about what might be in GE Capital. Too much uncertainty. He would like to see a lot of disclosure.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Growth rate is not going to push the share price higher.

BUY

A great international play. One of their big strengths is a substantial portion of its revenues and earnings are outside of North America. You want to have international companies in your portfolio. These companies will benefit from weakness in the US$.

BUY

Very intriguing story. Tends to be very volatile and to be taken as a proxy for the broader US economy. Significant amount of their business is outside of the US, so it is a play on Asian growth and Europe. It will benefit from the weaker US$. For a long-term point of view it is also a way of playing the green economy. Aggressively moving into this area.

DON'T BUY

Starting to show up on his screens, mostly because of its yield. Reasonable PE and 3.5% yield. He tends to not invest in really large companies because the law of large numbers makes it difficult for them to grow at a rapid pace. He has always been concerned about the black box of GE finance.

BUY

Likes its international exposure because of the slow growth in North America. Had a decent earnings report and the guidance was good. Good long-term investment.

BUY

Great company. Very well managed. Will grow at around 10%-13% and trade at about 14X earnings. 3.4% yield.

SELL

Has not been doing a lot for a very long time. Been trading between $39 and $33 for a very long time. Not necessarily a value stock but is really big and so doesn't move that fast.

TOP PICK

A fantastically managed company. They target 2 and 3X to GDP for organic growth so that puts them in the 10% to 13% range. About 50% of the company is GE capital so is painted with the same brush as financials. Has a wonderful dividend.

WEAK BUY

2.5-3% of U.S GDP, Very dependant on health of its domestic economy. Wonderful company if you like alternative energy. Owns a lot, feels it’s a great long-term play.

HOLD

A proxy for the entire global market. Looking promising. Back to where it was 7 or 8 years ago. There are better opportunities elsewhere.
