SIRI

2.69

Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (SIRI)

SIRI -  This is now 67 days and 1 year that they have not approved this.  I mean, now they're starting to talk about...  It's pretty clear they want to stop this deal...  I am telling you this deal is going to go through. I still think, that when it goes through, you've got a $5 stock...  But we must keep writing the FCC!  We can't let them off the hook!  We can't let them be just completely... I'm trying not to say, in bed... I'm trying not to say, in the pocket of... I'm trying not to say, owned by terrestrial radio...  So I've eliminated all those possibilities, and let's just say that I think the FCC's behavior raises eyebrows...

Price target if the deal is approved:  $5.00

General question about the oil refiners

JJC:   No, no, no, no, no...  If we want oil refiners, we're going to join them either with ConocoPhillips (COP*), or with Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY), or maybe with Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO).  I even like Hess Corporation (HES) more.  I think that refining margins are going to stay bad.  Everyone thinks they've got to be making money, if we're paying $4 bucks for oil... ix-nay... No!  Not true.  Integrated oils are the thing... integrated oils...

Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM)

AEM -  All right, look...  I think, and I'm going to stand right now... Gold has come down huge... I have bought gold, and bought gold, and bought gold...  Why?  Because this is your chance to buy gold.  The stocks are down much more than the commodity.  The commodity's down 10%.  The stocks are down as much as 35%.  Yes, I have been buying Yamana Gold Inc. (AUY*).  I made a stand, and have been buying a ton of AUY* right here.  Bought it higher, but bought it here.  I like AEM too.  You need gold.  People should have a gold stock in their portfolio... You shouldn't buy it when it's running.  You should buy it when it's collapsing.  It's been collapsing...  I want to buy... buy, buy, buy... gold!

Energy Conversion Devices (ENER)

ENER -  You are barking up the wrong solar play!  I am recommending First Solar, (FSLR) and, if a democrat gets into the White House... the first call they're going to make is to FSLR, and say, enough ethanol!  No, they actually like ethanol a whole lot too... But I think there's room for FSLR in the pastiche... of energy conservation and anti-fossil fuel.

Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc. (FRZ)

FRZ -  You know, we were going to recommend FRZ, and the stock turned out to be a real bad one...  Let me go back...  I know it's losing money...  I want to do a little touch up on FRZ.  We'll come back to that next week... 

 

       

ING

37.78

na

ING Groep NV (ING)

ING -  No, I mean it's a decent bank, no doubt about it... but I'm not a buyer of that.  I like Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK) today, a 52-week high... What bank stock is hitting a 52-week high?...  We've been riding this one for more than a year.  Every other bank stock we follow is down huge, other than People's United Financial Inc. (PBCT), and this one's up.  Let's not even out-think it.  That one's our play.

SIRT

na

Sirtris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (SIRT)

SIRT -  No, no... GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) bought them, so you've got to ring the register.  This is a company that makes the ingredient that's like the red wine ingredient that's supposed to give you a longer life...

TSFG

7.10

na

South Financial Group Inc. (TSFG)

TSFG -  Oh man... you cut me to the quick... This is another stinker-roony McFaddy financial...  No, no, and then I'm going to throw in another no... and, just to be clear... I'm saying, No!  I want you in Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK), even up here at $19.  I'll give you the Goldman Sachs (GS*) for a little lift... and, yes, I still like JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM) if you want a little value in banks, and that's it.

CXW

26.43

na

Corrections Corp. of America (CXW)

CXW -  Just because it is in the prison business doesn't necessarily mean it can execute well.  I am worried about that stock... Don't buy, dont' buy...  This is an execution issue... I think that have to be very careful with this stock.  It has had a spotty record, and I don't want to be involved...  I've seen them be inconsistent...  (buzzer sounds)... and it's a good trend, but it's not one worth playing, so to speak.

URBN

33.62

na

Urban Outfitters (URBN)

URBN -  I don't care (about the CEO has sold shares recently)... I mean, he's been with the company a long time.  I'm not worried.  He's got a great eye... I was at the Urban Outfitters that just opened in Brooklyn on Wednesday.  It's just a dynamite look.  I call it "cheap chic"... that's right, "cheap chic"...   URBN and TJX (TJX), Wal-Mart (WMT) and Costco (COST).  Those are my four retailers.  I'm not going away from them.  Those are the ones you want to be in.  Just like I've got three banks, I've got four retailers and, the rest of them?  Sold to you...
