One of the global leaders in diesel engine technology. Has been a fabulous company since early 2000. It has followed a lot of the global growth in truck manufacturing. Has been weak lately because emerging markets have been weaker, and the order books out of some of those areas have been slow. Trucking in general had some headwinds 2-3 years ago with the $100 oil. Long-term this is a great company. Looking for it to grow earnings probably in the 10% rate over the next 3-5 years. Valuation is quite low right now. On his watch list and he is waiting for the US$ to settle down a bit. Attractive at this price.
