Our PAST TOP PICK with CNHI has triggered its stop at $11.50.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  When combined with our previous recommendations, this will result in a net investment loss of 5%.  

We again reiterate CNHI as a TOP PICK.  The company's strategic acquisitions is advancing automation into autonomous agriculture technology, while expanding its market in Europe.  We like that quarterly cash reserves are growing, while debt is aggressively retired and shares bought back.  It trades at 8x earnings, under 2x book and supports a robust 31% ROE.  Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 25% of cash flow.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $10.50) to $11.50 at this time, looking to achieve $15.50 -- upside potential of 21%.
