BMY

22.09

na

Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY)

BMY -  I hate to recommend a stock solely because of the yield, the potential upside... but BMY has got good yield and I think it's very good.  I do not like BMY as much as I like Merck (MRK), which has a really great pipeline, and is down ridiculously on Vytorin and Zetia... I think you buy MRK over BMY.

Merck (MRK)

GCI

28.59

na

Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI)

GCI -  I struggle and struggle and struggle for a reason to recommend GCI.  I don't like print.  I'm telling people to sell GCI.  Sell the New York Times Company (NYT) stock... sell McClatchy Co. (MNI) in particular...  and I told all the people that I know at Tribune that they should try to get out of that buyout that Sam Zell got them into...  I like GCI so much as a company, but I can't recommend the stock, because there is no catalyst whatsoever.  I say stay away.

Q

4.65

na

Qwest (Q)

Q -  I've been watching the stock, because the yield's gone up but, if you remember, we had Dick Notebart (CEO) on when the stock was like at $7... and, when he retired, I said that was it.  When Dick Notebart left, I said that was the end of that stock.  I've got a lot of better yielders.  I'd rather see you own
Verizon (VZ*) at 4-5% yield, than I would see you in Q with a higher yield.  It's safer.

VZ*

TXCO

13.50

na

TXCO Resources, Inc. (TXCO)

TXCO -  I think it's a good company, but you know I like the majors... You know that I own XTO Energy Inc. (XTO*) for my charitable trust... You know I think the world of Apache Corp. (APA) and Anadarko Petroleum (APC) and I like Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK) very much, and I could on with Devon Energy (DVN) and I like Southwestern Energy Co. (SWN) better than yours, so I like all those ahead of your play, but your play is fine.

YHOO

28.59

na

Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO)

YHOO -  YHOO is already done.  There's probably a point or two upside.  I read all of these articles.  I don't trust any of them... I think the deal is done.  You're not going to get more than $31-32...  Ix-nay on YHOO...

 

       

MIC

30.24

na

Macquarie Infrastructure Co. (MIC)

MIC -  No... and I have been negative on that, and then the Australian papers trashed me...  I don't trust the Australian complex that is MIC...

PZE

11.93

na

Petrobras Energia (PZE)

PZE -   I can tell you that it's often confused with the one that I like, which is Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR).  I like PBR, along with my favorite manager, Heebner, who comes out the best (fund manager) in this book,
Stay Mad For Life...  I think that PBR is your play for Brazilian oil.

NVDA

19.88

na

NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)

NVDA -  I'm going to tell you that I don't like that stock one bit... (buzzer sounds)... Sell, sell, sell... I've been negative on NVDA and SanDisk Corp. (SNDK) for actually for like a year...  No, NVDA is no good...

SNDK

SanDisk Corp. (SNDK)

BAM

28.10

na

Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (BAM)

BAM -  One of my worst picks, because I believed that that is the next
Warren Buffett...  The Canadian papers have been all over me like a cheap Canadian suit, saying that I blew this one... I've got to tell you... I want to stick by it... but it needs financing... Don't buy, don't buy... It's like a private equity firm, and I should have realized it... I should have disliked BAM and I didn't.

ABK

5.27

na

Ambac (ABK)

ABK -  All right, let me be very specific about ABK...  This is a company... sell, sell, sell... that I have disliked for maybe 35-40 points... and I am adamant that it is still a sale, along with MBIA Inc. (MBI), PMI Group Inc. (PMI) and MGIC Investment Corp. (MTG) and Radian Group Inc. (RDN)...  Those are all in this insurance business.  The only one that I could really, really, really get my arms around... No, you know what... I'm not going to recommend any in that group.  That group is just awful.  Stay away from ABK.
