He likes this company. They have the largest market share of the Macau gaming area, and the Chinese love to gamble. The company is very well positioned. There are concerns as to access to cash, access to credit; but as those stabilize, this company’s business can stabilize. Over the long haul, this is a nice place to be.

Prudential (PRU-N), Metropolitan Life (MET-N) or a US bank? He likes financials for the long haul. The only group that has not fully recovered from the 2008 downturn. However, there has been a tremendous run up since the election on the hopes for higher interest rates because of stronger growth from some of the Trump policies and less regulations. He likes them both. They are both trading close to BV. However, insurance is becoming more and more of a commodity business, so he thinks he would give a little edge to MetLife for being bigger. Currently he likes the life insurers because the banks have run up so much.

A classic meat and potatoes company, and a wonderful long term hold. They have some great niches, including their traditional boiler business. Have branched out overseas, giving them great long-term growth potential. He is a bit cautious on industrials right now. They, along with energy and financials, have really rocketed post the election on hopes of a better economy. If he saw a significant pullback in this quality company, he would be looking to take positions at that time.

Great company and has done a wonderful job over the decades, morphing from an old-line glass company into something that is really in the Tech mainstream. To the extent that there are some deemed protectionist policies promoted by Trump, he wonders what that does to a company like this, because so much of their business is global. There could be some real volatility.
