Snap-On Inc (SNA)

70% in the US, rather unusual for a large company. People are delaying purchasing new vehicles and holding onto them longer. A beneficiary if the economy picks up. Tends to have a strong seasonal period from right now till end of year (since 1990, has outperformed the S&P 80% of the time in this particular timeframe). Yield is 2.49%.

He's more focused on ETFs right now, so doesn't own this one. But it's a good example of a company with strong seasonality. Tends to be #1 in the spaces it's in.

Seeing weakness in company. Despite car maintenance going up, company not performing. Has sold shares. 

On an uptrend. The last 2 peaks are at about the same level, so you have to be aware that it might be consolidating. If you own it, hang on. Keep an eye on that last low, you don't want to see it break. If breaks past last high, it's bullish. Decent chart.

Exposure to car industry (old cars need repairs). Seasonality - performs well in January. Expecting further strength in stock. Cyclical stock, so expect volatility. 

Last week, they reported a clean top and bottom line beat, but shares didn't pop much. Shares remain down 15% from its July highs.

Snap-On tools that are available everywhere. He loves this because he is a huge believer in housing stocks and the housing market right now. The housing numbers, both existing and new home sales, in the last week for last month were absolutely fantastic. He feels this is going to continue. Millennials are finally getting to the age where they are going to start buying homes in the US. (See Top Picks.)
