PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 13/21, Down 3%) The largest industrial gas producer in the world, used in healthcare, making semis, food production and many other industries. Could still grow earnings in past recessions, so it's defensive and resilient. They watch costs very well. They raise their dividend every year. Good to enter with this pullback.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 27/21, Down 15%) Core holding. Performed better than the indexes. Downturn due to underlying industrial demand. Capex leads to higher growth, and this takes time. When it's on sale, that's when you want to buy.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 13/21, Down 2%) An industrial gas company within an oligopoly. Very defensive. Shares fell the past month over market fears of a recession. Boasts a diversified client base. They can pass inflationary costs to customers. Company raised guidance in Q1 and can grow earning 9-10% in a weak environment, the company said. Attractive PE now. Would buy now.

TRADE
They make industrial gases for varied purposes integral to the economy. It is a very good business, is resilient and stable within the materials sector. It is positioned well for longer term trends e.g. green initiatives. It is defensive and the valuation could fall.
