BUY ON WEAKNESS
BUY
Was up 26% this year, the best performer in this space. It distributes parts in the car industry. Reason? There was a new car shortage and were high used car prices, so people fixed up their existing cars by replacing parts. But used car prices have fallen and new cars will also fall. But all these car parts stocks trade cheaply around 19-20x PE.
Automotive
BUY
Cars are aging on the road and need new parts and servicing. A great chart that makes a new 52-week high every day.

BUY
He just bought this car part company. This is relatively recession-proof, because more people are returning to work and they will drive. So, car parts will need to be replaced. Trades at an attractive 17x PE and pays a 2.6% dividend. Also, there's a lot of construction going on and that will require cars.

Stockchase Editor: Michael O'Reilly GPC has increased its dividend for 63 consecutive years -- a real Dividend star. The company focuses on aftermarket and replacement car parts -- a rising trend given that new car sales are stagnating. Technically, the stock is riding an up trend with higher lows being made regularly. We would use $82 as a stop loss point and see an upside towards $115. We like the dividend and see it being stable. Yield 3.45%

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 12/08. down 5.29%.) Biggest auto parts manufacturer in North America. During slow economic times this should be a great area but people don't repair cars as often as they should. Eventually they will have to. Starting to pick up. Also distribute industrial products and office supplies. History of increasing dividends annually. Still a good Hold.
