PAST TOP PICK
Aug 28, 2009
(A Top Pick July 3/08. Down 13.23%.) Was stopped out at a 14.3% decline. Not a gold bug but thinks in the fall gold will break out above $1000. Gold stocks are lagging so the ones that will follow the price of gold will be the big caps. (See Top Picks.)
G is a top rated supplier of business outsourcing services worldwide — a steady and reliable business. We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired and shares bought back. It trades at 17x earnings, 3.6x book and supports a respectable ROE of 22%. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $35, looking to achieve $59 — upside potential over 18%. Yield 0.7%
