58%-60% of their revenues come from financial services. One of their challenges is that financial services have been getting smaller over the last couple of years. The potential catalyst and the reason to own this is that they have just been in the process of launching a new platform called Icon, competing with the Bloomberg platform. Not expensive. 4% yield.

Owns cell towers and leases space out to service providers who put up their transmission gear. Has done remarkably well over many years. About 1.5% yield. The view is that they spent a lot for towers in emerging markets, but what you are buying is the future use of cell phones and the expansion of data use in emerging markets. If you see REITs start to firm up, this is one you could take a look at.

He would say that energy in the US would be in the top 3rd of the sectors from a performance standpoint so far this year. Energy has become very regionalized and you have to look at which region you want to invest in. Some are much higher growth and some are much lower cost. This one is in very prolific regions. Going into the fall, natural gas prices have been firming up. (See Top Picks.)

When bond yields go up, prices go down and this is the same thing for utilities. This group has come under pressure. A lot of the damage has been done and if you own this for the dividend, you are probably not too bad off, but there are better groups to be in that will give you yield plus growth.

Likes this one. A beneficiary of improvement in housing in the US. Their pickup trucks are big, big sellers. There is a big replacement cycle in cars as the average age is about 11.9 years. Europe is getting a little bit better and they have a significant presence there.

A great way to participate in the auto cycle. They have content across the major brands and across the globe. They have no debt and about a 6% cash flow yield. Europe is getting a little bit better. Trading at 13X earnings so it is not expensive.
