WEAK BUY
The shortage of steel allowed this company to do well. They are well managed and pay a decent dividend. They are exiting their oil tubular business and will be a better company for it. But the price of steel will come down in a year or so.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 28/20, Up 94%) The stock market is discounting a lot of the recover happening. Has moved to CCL Industries now. It starts to get harder to hold in a cyclical business when it's runup this much.

WAIT
Owned it in the past and sold it around current levels just above $30. A cyclical company. Well managed. Doing a lot to stabilize the business. Sold because they were too exposed to energy. A good dividend yield. Likes it and wants to own it more now that they are diversifying their business. However, wait since it is very expensive.

WATCH
He took profits when this hit $30. Russel supplies shale drillers in the States, an industry that's been decimated. Now, they're supplying manufacturers, but this industry is uncertain. The dividend is solid ad are the managers, so he continues to watch it and would like to return to it. He's waiting.

Getting closer to a Buy. He keeps looking at their bonds which are giving about 6%-6.5%. Owning this grade of bonds is very interesting. However, there is no liquidity in the corporate bond market, so if there is some disturbance in the bond market, you will get higher gyrations because there is no liquidity, no bank participation, and fewer people that have the ability to buy these. The neat thing about this company is that it has much more of a throughput business. The 8% dividend yield is probably coming down.
