BUY
Has gone down too much. Big losses in their mortgage portfolio, but fundamentally it is a short-term issue. Next year they will still have very strong global retail banking, global credit card businesses and global commercial banking businesses. Their investment banking and equities business is in good shape. Trading at about 8X next year's earnings.

DON'T BUY
A wonderful company and they have made a lot of money for themselves. He doesn't like the model of taking a private equity firm public and trying to capitalize those performance and money management fees. There is just too much incentive now to grow assets, which is not going to be in the best interests of those underlying limited partners. Believes the right model for them is a partnership.

TOP PICK
Supply airborne surveys for primarily the mining industry. Has had some very good growth. Recently did an acquisition that expanded their technology from a rotary type business to a fixed wing business. Leading edge technology. Very profitable. Last quarter exceeded his expectations. He is looking for $47 million in sales next year with $.18 in earnings. Trades at about 19X forward earnings.
mining services
TOP PICK
Has been a growth story based on supplying software to the mining industry to help them with working with smaller workforces and maximize the mineral deposits. Cash flow positive. Good top line growth. Made an acquisition in the last year to help diversify their business.

WAIT
Flight data recorder, but much more sophisticated. Used by airlines to basically record the performance of the airplanes. Gives real-time feeding to satellite networks. Still early stages from a revenue perspective. Not quite cash flow positive but getting near so. Has moved up, so let it consolidated a bit.
