TOP PICK

Under invested assets. The previous owner, GM, liked to take out the dividends, but didn't put enough back in. New owners are willing to invest for the future. Cheap. Aggressively rolling out digital recorders. Just acquired Pegasus Communications.

DON'T BUY

Growing its subscriber base at a pretty decent clip. Going through a transformation of ownership. Would prefer a cable company, which would have more avenues such as Internet, video on demand, etc.

BUY

Wonderful franchise. Pretty much finished the expensive job of launching satellites. Cash flow should be good from now on. Thinks it will potentially be taken over.

TOP PICK

Large satellite TV business. US and growing Latin American subscribers. 11 times earnings, very shareholder friendly, buying back 20% of outstanding shares. Thinks it will be a very stable business despite Internet TV.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick June 10/11, Down 0.68%) Growth will continue as satellite TV grows in South America. Thinks it is a good stable business.

(A Top Pick Nov 28/13. Up 32.7%.) Being taken over by AT&T (T-N), which made an offer of $95 a share. There is a 12 month regulatory closing and there is some risk that the deal could not close. He is holding on.
