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

GR

62.45

63.59

Goodrich (GR)

GR -  I like GR, and I think the umbrella of Boeing (BA) is going to help.  The problem is that that it's just dawning on people that BA is an international airplane play, after a few weeks of people just saying you've got to get out of it... Now, here's the problem with BA...  They've got supplier problems, and that is going to hurt GR too, but we did hear from Honeywell (HON) not to worry, so I'll pull the trigger on GR, even though it wasn't up today.
 

BA

83.18

83.37

Boeing Co. (BA)

See GR comments above for:
BA
 

EXM

38.06

39.00

Excel Maritime (EXM)

EXM -  Well, look... It's up today.  All the dry bulk carriers were up.  Let it lift up a little... I think you can lift it, but then you've got to lighten up... sell, sell, sell... because we know from the CEO of Diana (DSX) that that group is overvalued...  A little bit more up though.
 

RBCN

23.65

23.70

Rubicon Technology, Inc. (RBCN)

RBCN -  Good, but I'm not going to cross the Rubicon...  I personally think that it's good, it's alright...  I like Corning (GLW*).  I own it for my charitable trust.  I think this stock (GLW*) is worth $30.  Why?  Because it also has LCD... It's the leader of liquid-crystal display.  And it also has fiber that Ivan Siedenburg (CEO of Verizon)... is going to put through apartment buildings in Boston, Philadelphia and New York...  That's my pick.  I'm not even going to throw in the diesel engines.  GLW* rocks.  Two upside pre-announcements.  It's for me.
 

GLW*

24.16

24.12

Corning Inc. (GLW*)

See RBCN comments above for:
GLW*

Price target for GLW*:  $30.00
 

MSO

6.84

6.87

Martha Stewart Living (MSO)

MSO -  In truth, ever since she moved over her seat, so I could sit next to my daughter at St. Bart's, I can't say a bad word about her...  I'm crazy about her now...  It was really nice...  The stock itself is not a great stock.  I don't like publishing.  Please don't take it personally, Martha...  I think, personally, that MSO is too low... but I don't like any magazine play at all, so I'm going to have to say don't buy, don't buy...
 

CAT

70.99

71.15

Caterpillar Inc. (CAT)

CAT -  I don't deserve to tell you (about CAT), because you know why?...  I sold CAT before this run for (my charitable trust)...  I talk to you a lot about winners.  How about I talk to you about losers?  How about when I screw up?  I was worried that people were going to say the domestic business was going to pull down CAT.  I didn't respect the cycle.  Suddenly, now that it's got homebuilding exposure, it's good.  I messed up on CAT and I hurt people, and I hurt myself, and I think it's going higher!
 

TR

24.98

25.17

Tootsie Roll Industries Inc. (TR)

TR -  Ahh... always a bridesmaid, never a bride... I've heard that takeover wrap since 1987, when I first put that in people's accounts when I was at Goldman Sachs...  I like the fundamentals.  I think it's inexpensive, but I see no catalyst, and I'm not a big fan of the food stocks here, because of raw costs, which are going up, because we have decided to make a bet on the fuel called ethanol, which can't be shipped, costs more than it does to make than it does to use, uses up all our water, and is only good to five farm-state votes, and I've had it with it...
 

SLAB

31.24

31.26

Silicon Laboratories, Inc. (SLAB)

SLAB -  You know what?... Everything I recommend in tech is bad, and this one's got a little lift upward... It's a semiconductor stock.  I see the Semiconductor Sector Index (^SOXX) is trying to bottom, trying to make a case for Intel (INTC) today, at $21... I've got to tell you, I just don't have any safety in tech... I would rather own the second the third-worst bank... certainly not any of the gang of four in monolines... but I would rather own one of the worst banks, than I would even the best tech stock.  I'm sorry, but I have to say don't buy, don't' buy... and the quarter was okay... 
 

ING

32.58

33.19

ING Groep NV (ING)

ING -  ING's a difficult stock...  Because the actual numbers there are not that great.  I do like their online strategy.  I'm attracted by their yield, which is 5%.  I don't have enough visibility on what they may have in there, in terms of the problems that I saw in say, UBS AG (UBS).  But my take is, it's a bank.  The worst is over.  Really well-run.  I'll pull the trigger on ING.
 

MOS

90.93

91.77

Mosaic (MOS)

MOS -  Not as much (bullish) as I was.  This ag group has had a major run.  And while I still like MOS... I still like Agrium (AGU)...  I still like Deere (DE)...  I still Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM)...   I still like Bunge (BG)... I still like Syngenta (SYT), and I still like Monsanto (MON)...  I can't like them as much as I used to because, when you come out of recession, they slow all the momentum names.  These are momentum names.  They're really good for a 3-5 year period but, right now, it's banks, it's financials, it's retail, and that's the way it is, I can't help it.  Homebuilders are better than fertilizers.
 

DHR

74.96

74.61

Danaher Corp. (DHR)

DHR -  When I went through their quarter, I was really excited about the hand tools business, which has definitely picked up, but they went and did all this test and measurement business, that I don't like at all.  They basically have become a tech company (buzzer sounds) just when I don't want tech...  If they were only in hand tools, I'd be recommending them... the way I did today (in the Stop Trading segment) when I said pull the trigger on Black & Decker (BDK)... So, no... Ix-nay on the DHR.  Too bad, because those boys who run that company are real good. 
 

CHL

75.52

75.00

China Mobile Limited (CHL)

CHL -  You know, China's momentum... There's a change in Chinese posture toward the telco companies...  I can no longer recommend CHL... Don't buy, don't buy... I can't.  I don't like the overweighting... I'm not sticking with CHL.
