We reiterate MX, the largest supplier of methanol to international markets, as a TOP PICK. The company just released earnings, beating analyst expectations by 20%. Production in the quarter was slowed due to extended turnaround times in several key regions, but this should be resolved shortly. It trades at 13x earnings and 1.5x book value. It has used some cash reserves to prudently retire debt and buy back shares. We recommend maintaining a stop-loss at $51, looking to achieve $78 — upside potential over 30%. Yield 1.0%

(Analysts’ price target is $78.69)Likes it. He just took profits. Natural gas is driving shares, and nat gas prices are down now, so MX shares are up. It's a solid performer, but if a recession happens, say 6 months down the road, this will be a headwind.
