The airline sector is a very high beta space -- it does well when the economy does well. You really want to buy when the market has corrected -- like after a crash or terrorist event. He would not be a buyer here. Those who have held them long term have not tended to do well.

Why did it split? He owns this one and it has done well over the long term. He would buy again and it is fairly defensive. The idea of splitting allows smaller investors to get in and that is probably the idea here. He does not think it is a problem they split.

Given the weak Euro this is a good entry point and a good long term hold. One the best stocks to own out of France and England for that matter.

He likes this and it pays a decent dividend. Holding for the long term, this is a good holding. The semi-conductor space is looking a little suspect right now. With the trade pressures, Asia as a big consumer, concerns him entering right now. A better entry would be in the mid-$30s.

The challenge is this is a very low interest rate environment and that makes it tough for banks to make money. If you expect interest rates to return to normal yields, this would be a good entry level. He would not be selling here -- continue to hold.

The talcum and now opiod crisis will continue to cause them to pay out until the regulators are satisfied. He would be a buyer on weakness.
