Dividend of 3.2% which is one of the highest dividends in the chemicla group. They're big in ethylene, styrene, propolenes, etc. Well diversified in stable chemicals as well as specialty ones giving it less volatility. Chemical prices came off earlier in the year and ethylene is now starting to climb again and the stocks are starting to show that.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 15. Up 1.5%.) A major ethylene producer and believes there's going to be a shortage in the next few years. Unfortunately the price of oil and gas has been pushed up very fast because of the hurricane. Have not been able to pass their costs along as quickly. This is temporary and he still likes.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 15/05. Down 4%.) Still likes. Has been volatile because raw materials of oil and natural gas have spiked up. Chemical companies have not been able to pass along price increases as fast. Also, one of their plants in Louisiana will be permanently shut down. There will be a shortage of ethylene for a number of years.

Prefaced his Top Picks stating, “It is not a cheap market”. Petrochemical as well as refining/marketing. Bought the Venezuelan government’s Houston refinery. Since then, refining and marketing margins have gone through the roof. Chemical business is doing better. The largest shareholder, Occidental Petroleum (OXY-N) just sold their shares. Still cheap and has lots of upside.
