(A Top Pick Sep 15/20, Up 36.8%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with UGI has achieved its $45 objective. To be disciplined, we recommend covering 50% of the holding and trailing up the stop (from $30.00) to $42.50. This would all but guarantee a minimum investment return of 33%.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly UGI distributes energy, primarily propane, to over 1.7 million customers through 1900 distribution locations in the US. This is a bit of a seasonal play as their business is getting busy now shipping energy to its customers ahead of winter. It pays a nice dividend that is backed by a payout ratio of only 57% of cash flow. We would trade this with a stop-loss of $30, looking for a return to $45 -- 35% upside.
