A bell weather cyclical stock. He doesn't expect to see strong global economic growth, but steady and plodding. Consumer spending is driving the global economy, so this may not have enough to propel it much higher.

Pays a good 3.5% yield with a 10x PE, which are likely depressed by the global slowdown and the trade war, but the slowdown will turn. Buy this if you have a 3-5-year horizon. Governments need to start spending on infrastructure to get economies going. Also look at CMI-N.

He's watching it. On their conference call Q1 there was a major misunderstanding about the guidance they gave; no, they haven't hit their peak for the year. Rather they reached the high point on their margin percentage. The street reacted negatively and sold. It was astonishing. A fine company, but he's not sure this is the best company in this space and there's a lot of competition here.
