(A Top Pick Sep 27/22, Up 27.2%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with MET has achieved its target at $77. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering half the position and trailing up the stop loss (from $62) to $67. If triggered, this would result in a net investment gain of 18%.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This world leader in insurance and benefits is a TOP PICK. The company just announced a deal along with PRU to assume the $16 billion pension obligation of IBM -- right up its alley. We like the value here as the company is trading under book value, just beat analyst earnings expectations, and is projected to trade 7x earnings. It has managed to increase cash reserves, while aggressively retiring debt and buying back shares. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow. We recommend placing a stop loss at $52.50, looking to achieve $77 -- upside potential of 25%. Yield 3.2% (Analysts’ price target is $77.25)

WAIT
DON'T BUY
The balance sheet is impaired and there should be write-offs, which he hasn't seen. He sees 32% upside with a $64 model price, but he'd be happy seeing this at $53.80. He would recommend this stock above this price. He has recommended MET before, but MET just can't get going. The balance sheet is ugly. Also, if interest rates fall to zero, all insurance companies will get hit.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 29/18, Up 3%) Slow or flar growth this and next year, but they are buying back stock. He sees 9% EPS growth this year. Their US retirement portfolio has been doing well. It's cheap at 8x PE and paying almost a 4% dividend. It's been stagnant for many years, but it has tailwinds of lower taxes and volume growth. They're growing in Asia and Europe.
