RIMM

90.08

84.53

Research In Motion (RIMM)

RIMM -  RIMM, I think, is having a dynamite quarter, but you know what?... It's going to be pulled down tomorrow by Apple (AAPL).  I think people are going to say, listen, one very high-growth tech company should be joined at the hip with another high-growth tech company.  I don't believe that.  But AAPL is the umbrella that RIMM trades under, and the umbrella sprung a leak tonight.  Let's wait until RIMM goes down 5-6 points, before we possibly reload in the name.

AAPL

155.64

136.18

Apple Inc. (AAPL)

AAPL

FCX*

81.52

75.95

Freeport-McMoRan (FCX*)

FCX* -  FCX* is a very difficult stock to get a handle on right here, because obviously, if there's a worldwide slowdown, then no one wants to own a copper company with a tinge of gold...  I think that FCX* is very inexpensive.  I don't see a worldwide recession... just a slowdown.  I've been telling people who subscribe... to my charitable trust... that I think the stock can trade into the $70s...  It hit there a little bit today, bounced, and then came back down...  I think it is still too high to pull the trigger and buy any more.

DO

112.78

109.48

Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. (DO)

DO -  No... I would love to say yes to that, but the CEO of Schlumberger (SLB) basically said that that business, right now, is in a transition year.  Look, I like offshore, but they do a lot of shallow offshore...  The only deep-water offshore... The only offshore play that I really like right now is Transocean (RIG*), but that's going down too... I urge people, do the homework, do the homework... What's the homework?... Go to the Schlumberger site.  Listen to the conference call that they gave last week.  It was very downbeat.  That stock has come down from $110 and change to the $70s.  I can't get aggressive if the CEO of SLB - the best company in the industry - is not being aggressive.  The time will come again when we can reload in that stock, but right now is not the time.  DO is very well run but, until SLB... until we see more, better numbers, and higher oil prices it, at best, marks time.

SLB

SFLY

19.42

18.95

Shutterfly, Inc. (SFLY)

SFLY -  Just way too risky... just way too risky.  In this environment...  Look, I was looking at Yahoo! (YHOO*) today... YHOO* under $20 bucks... YHOO* has great page views.  It is doing not as well as we'd like, right?  But it has a lot of cash... it has a big holding in China... and I can't get excited about that company on a takeover basis... I don't know how I can get excited about SFLY... Look, someone asked me on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, how about Google (GOOG)?...  And I said, there will come a day again where GOOG is fine but, right now, they're slaughtering everything that is high multiple... First Solar (FSLR) is the same... everything that's expensive... and we have to wait until it cleanses through the system, and we start over again, basically... which could be a long time... and SFLY is just too... it's just not mainstream to be able to make it right now... not when the cohort is so bad.

YHOO*

19.92

19.20

Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO*)

YHOO*

JCG

39.99

39.98

J. Crew Group, Inc. (JCG)

JCG -  You know, I was shocked... I saw JCG down so low today, and I think it's got a great business model... it doesn't have too much inventory...  The stock is 6 points off its low, and 18 points from its high.  Let's pull the trigger.  Let's buy some JCG right here.  I think that one's right.  I looked at Guess? (GES) and I looked at JCG.  I think that JCG is next...

BHP

57.82

55.25

BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP)

BHP -  We don't need a Rio Tinto (RTP)/BHP tie-up...  We like these companies for themselves.  This stock has been going down, in part, because people think that China is going into a recession.  I recommended two others tonight... I have said that CVRD (RIO), the Brazilian... I like that and I like Freeport-McMoRan (FCX*).  I like them both more than BHP and RTP...  Literally, right now, I'd buy RIO tomorrow, okay.  I'd buy FCX* if it came down a little, and I want to stay clear from BHP, even though it's come down a lot, because I think it's just not cheap enough, versus the other two, which can be taken over.

RTP

331.31

318.85

Rio Tinto plc (RTP)

RIO

LPNT

26.76

26.16

Lifepoint Hospitals Inc. (LPNT)

LPNT -  You know, I was looking at LPNT and, you know, I like the Tenet Healthcare (THC), which is, I think, much dicier than that... (buzzer sounds)...  You know what I'm going to do?... I'm not going to cuff it... I'm going to have to come back on LPNT... proving that, even when I have a live audience, that I don't...  You know why?...  Because I want to look at the balance sheet.   I've been doing a lot of work on that industry, and I've been trying to figure out whether... how recession-proof the industry really is, given the fact that we have reimbursement problems in the chain, so I've got to come back on LPNT... 

BIDU

273.27

266.12

Baidu.com (BIDU)

BIDU -  Remember, if you got into it a year ago, it's great... Now... We've been talking about some very high-risk situations... I would tell you that China has come down enough that I would be tempted to buy a little BIDU...  I have not said to buy back any China yet, but I looked at what happened today... Now, I'm afraid BIDU will be up really big tomorrow morning...  If it is up, then you can't touch it.  But, if it is down, I think we buy a little BIDU... I think we get back in... I like Focus Media (FMCN)... I like China Tel (CHA)... but not as much.  There's some rules changing in China... I like Petro China (PTR), but not as much... I like BIDU.  I think that BIDU is good...
