CHL

85.44

85.99

China Mobile Limited (CHL)

CHL -  CHL, Baidu.com Inc. (BIDU), Focus Media (FMCN), and Petro China (PTR) are, yes indeed, The Four Horsemen of China... and I am sticking by them, even though I know that BIDU lost its CFO.  But CHL is probably the best of the best right now.  I think you should pull the trigger here.  I am not afraid of China doing well - buy, buy, buy!...  In other words, I am not one of those guys who think that China's played out.  I still like China and I like your pick.  I would pull the trigger right now!

TDW

56.25

55.52

Tidewater Inc. (TDW)

TDW -  No.  TDW is one that is just not a great driller.  We have identified the great drillers on this show, and I will repeat that our favorite remains Transocean (RIG*), which I own for my charitable trust, which has now doubled.  We also like  Schlumberger (SLB).  Halliburton (HAL) was one of my stocks of the year.  We're re-recommending that, because it's got a natural gas play...  If you saw FMC Technologies (FTI), which I re-recommended at $55, we got a nice spike today off an Angola contract.  I still like Core Labs (CLB), and I still like Oceaneering International (OII)...  Frankly... frankly... if you can't find one among those, then you've got to change the channel!

QCOM

37.90

37.39

QUALCOMM Inc. (QCOM)

QCOM -  You should be (concerned about QCOM)... QCOM is basically a law firm...  I am just shocked that QCOM does nothing but just fight in lawsuits...  I don't care about intellectual property. Broadcom (BRCM) just won from them...   That thing is a sell, sell, sell!  And I don't like QCOM... Am I clear?...  

GLW*

23.13

22.91

Corning Inc. (GLW*)

GLW* -  This is an amazing stock... which I own for the charitable trust, because it pre-announced at $23, better than expected, and here we are back at $23... because it's part of the now-hated tech cohort...  I've got two things to say about GLW... One is that the Consumer Electronics Show... is going to witness... You'll see a lot of new flat-screen TVs that use GLW*'s technology... And, secondarily, they've got the fiber that shoots around the corner that
Verizon (VZ) is going to use...  And, basically, what I'm saying is that GLW* has got the best glass for TVs... it's got the best glass to be able to use the (Verizon) FiOS system, and the stock should be bought!  I've been saying, under $23, it is a screaming buy!  Buy, buy, buy!...

OESX

Orion Energy Systems, Inc (OESX)

OESX -  You know, let's not out-think this (about the energy recent bill passed by Congress)... I think you're going too extraneously.  When I think about energy, and when I think about natural gas... what comes to mind almost immediately is Ultra Petroleum (UPL)!  That's the way I want to play this energy bill.  Let's not out-think it... let's not out-think it...

PZE

14.47

14.49

Petrobras Energia Participaciones S.A. (PZE)

PZE -  You should buy this stock... you should buy this stock.  I know PZE.  I've got to tell you... I like Brazil so much.  Brazil is like what we should be... They've got a good budget.  They actually cut their taxes... They are absolutely on fire.  Their bond rating goes up.  Their currency's fantastic!  They are what we should be!  And that stock is what you should be in... I also like Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR) too.  Ken Heebner, recommended here (in
the new book,) as my #1 mutual fund, is buying PBR too.  He's buying the PBR... I like that stock... I like your play.
