LINE

22.88

23.13

Linn Energy, LLC (LINE)

LINE -  Why is that stock... why is that company not doing well?  I think they're hedged the wrong way.  This is a great quandary to me.  Every other company in that industry is doing well, because they're letting the natural gas run!  I think this company is the wrong horse!  I think you should take a look at Chesapeake (CHK).  Aubrey McClennan (CHK's CEO) is looking at it... He's buying it... You should buy it.

AA

38.32

Alcoa, Inc. (AA)

AA -  AA is a sign that there is no worldwide recession, because that stock does not seem to want to go down...  That said, it is not my favorite mineral company.  If you want to own my favorite mineral company - on a pullback - it's going to be Freeport-McMoRan (FCX*), which I own for my charitable trust, or, right now, if you're really desperate to buy one, why not buy CVRD (RIO)?... But RIO is not down nearly as much... I think those are better than yours.

USU

5.86

5.79

USEC Inc. (USU)

USU -  Honestly, this has been pulled back a lot... We've been talking about it a lot... This stock has been completely crushed...  They have a business model I don't like, which is spec... uranium... to try to beat... This is the swords and the plowshare thing.  I think that, if you want uranium, I would go with Mosaic (MOS), which has a nice bit of uranium, or a new one... I am thinking that this Agnico-Eagle (AEM) just bought a nice piece of uranium company, and you've got gold with it.

RIG

139.25

138.56

Transocean Inc. (RIG)

RIG -  All right, now...  I always talk about my wins.  How about talking about something I did stupidly.  I got concerned when I saw Baker Hughes Inc. (BHI) report not a great quarter... when I saw Smith International Inc. (SII) report not a great quarter... when I saw  Schlumberger (SLB) go from $100, down to $80...  that I thought RIG would not report a good number... and I sold the stock - albeit for a nice gain - for (his charitable trust)...  That was a mistake.  RIG is coming back down now.  I think that RIG is the single most-levered company to oil and offshore drilling.  And, if that stock gets below $130, I'm getting back in it.   It's best in show.  What a blowout number they reported.

Price target to buy:  Below $130.00
 

ROCK

10.93

10.95

Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (ROCK)

ROCK -  Can I send you to Nucor (NUE)?  Do you mind if I send you to NUE?...  You know, this has a lot of building products which we know from Home Depot (HD) that we don't want to have anything to do with...  I think, if you want a kind of steel, mineral play... NUE, which just bought a nice scrap business... is a better play.   And, by the way, when you listen to a guy who I think the world of... (Ken) Heebner, whom I recommend in my funds... He agrees with me that the steel companies are really, really terrific.  Stay Mad For Life , by the way... where I actually recommend some mutual funds...

TEF

86.07

84.49

Telefonica SA (TEF)

TEF -  You know, this is one where they are... When we looked at these, I felt that this was an over-exploited name, and it was in basic tel in Spain... (buzzer sounds)... which really didn't interest me.  I mean, honestly, I would much rather have you be in America Movil (AMX), which a lot of people are shorting right now...  If you want to have growth in Latin America... This company also does some business in Mexico and the Dominican Republic... TEF wants to be bigger in that part of the world, but they're really kind of just, in the end, playing in Spain, and I don't want that.

GOOG

457.02

450.45

Google (GOOG)

GOOG -  The four horsemen... which we did officially abandon...  Now, Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Amazon.com (AMZN) are going to do nothing.  They're a consumer spend play.    Google Inc. (GOOG)... I think advertising has slowed on the web.  That is not a good stock here.  It can go to $400.  Of them all, the best one is Research In Motion (RIMM) but, in the end, high-multiple stocks, levered to consumer spending are not a place to be...  I wish I could say some good things about GOOG.  I know there've been some terrific defenses being done of GOOG... but I see a stock that's going lower and, until it gets to a point where I feel comfortable that the earnings estimates are going to go up, not down, I will not stick with GOOG...
