thanks so much, mary thompson. now time for "fast money" portfolio where volatility means long-term investing. our next guest says betting 5% of his portfolio on it, in fact. joining me is the president of laventhal asset management. taking a look at some of your stock picks, you wouldn't think these are the steady eddy picks when you look at a caterpillar or green briar. they seem to be more leveraged to global growth here. give us the reasoning behind how you can get behind that. >> sure. but if you will, i'll divide them. caterpillar would be more of a steady eddy. i'm surprised how volatile it is. trading now at under nine times this year's earnings, which i think they can meet with a hop, skip, and a jump. that seems like a no brainer. green briar, you're right, is one that's going to be more volatile. it's a small-cap stock. they manufacture and repair rail cars. there's still an awful lot of rail traffic on the u.s. rail network. these guys are benefitting by repairing all those cars as they go whizzing by.
