Full Company Name/Comments
(see comments above for each)

RIMM

93.70

95.34

Research In Motion (RIMM)

RIMM -  Here's what I know... I know that this company's growing at 30%.  I know that, right now because of inflation, no one wants to own a high price stock on a multiple basis, even if it's growing at 30%.  I don't care.  All I can know is the fundamentals, and the fundamentals tell me that RIMM is a buy.  We got it right before the last quarter, and I think I'm right on it...

LOW

20.31

20.58

Lowe's (LOW)

LOW -  Let me be very honest... I really like LOW, at $20, but I've got to tell you, they sold every retailer down, like Costco (COST)... COST was down $3.50 today, to $66.  COST is doing better than LOW.  If I have to own a retailer, I have to go with the best, and COST is the best.

 

COST

66.43

66.62

Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST)

See LOW comments above for:
COST

HOG

39.84

39.82

Harley-Davidson, Inc. (HOG)

HOG -  Stop wondering my friend.  That stock does not work here... sell, sell, sell!...  A discretionary, expensive purchase of a motorcycle that you may not need, no matter how great it is, is not going to cut it in this market.  You cannot buy that stock.

THC

4.26

4.34

Tenet Healthcare Corp. (THC)

THC -  You want to buy some more of that.  That's exactly the kind of stock you want here.  It's a healthcare hospital play.  I see long-term greatness for that company.  I want to buy it right here, at $4 and change...

NEM

54.72

55.49

Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM)

NEM -  I'm going to give you three of them, all right?... #1 is the one that just mentioned and I like NEM, no doubt about it.  The second one I like even more, is Barrick (ABX) - buy, buy, buy! - that is just a screaming buy.  And then, finally, the one that is blessed because it has both growth and gold, is Yamana (AUY), and that's my favorite.  Peter Marrone's a great CEO.  That stock could go to $20, even if gold just stabilizes right here.

ABX

51.20

52.56

Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX)

ABX

AUY

AUY

Price target:  $20.00

OCNF

17.81

18.00

Oceanfreight Inc. (OCNF)

OCNF -  No, no...  People don't want to own those stocks.  Ever since we got the heads up from the Diana Shipping (DSX) CEO... that you can't touch these stocks... that was my takeaway... We have been against these stocks.  This one is not working.  There's a big, big decline in what's known as the Baltic Freight Index.  I've got to be very careful with these stocks.  We're not bottoming yet. 

SNS

9.48

8.91

Steak n Shake Co. (SNS)

SNS -  Casual dining, other than Sonic (SONC), is just so bad...  I mean, have you looked at the Darden (DRI)?  Boy, were we right to stay away from that...Morton's (MRT) was terrible...   Brinker's (EAT) was awful... No, we're not going to pull the trigger (buzzer sounds)... no way.

SONC

MOS

99.21

102.45

Mosaic (MOS)

MOS -  MOS has been - without a doubt - along with Agrium (AGU), along with Deere (DE), along with Monsanto (MON), along with Bunge (BG)... our absolute Fab Five... I think MOS blows through $100, and goes to $110.  That is just a must-own.  It dipped last week, off of a bogus call.  It is so good, I want to buy it right here, right now.

Price target:  $110.00

AGU

69.08

70.89

Agrium (AGU)

FARO

22.21

22.39

FARO Technologies Inc. (FARO)

FARO -  Too hard man.  Measurement test equipment.  It's just getting smoked...  I've got so many high-quality stocks, like an Intel (INTC), that are down so much, why do I need to mess with FARO?

INTC

21.99

22.89

Intel Corp. (INTC)

See FARO comments above for:
INTC

CVD

95.92

96.39

Covance Inc. (CVD)

CVD -  Oh man, this is medical testing and devices.  This is unbelievable.  This is a company that checks whether drug stocks are working or not.  That's exactly what we need, along with Bard (BCR), along with Becton Dickinson (BDX)... These are unbelievable companies... along with Baxter (BAX)... I think you're in great company.  That's one I want to buy... buy, buy, buy!... that's one I want to stick with. 

BCR

96.23

96.79

CR Bard Inc. (BCR)
