MEOH

27.39

na

Methanex Corp. (MEOH)

MEOH -  You know, I've got to tell you, this stock has been cheap for so long, I don't know what to say...  Honestly, it's been so cheap, bit it's like Georgia Gulf (GGC)...  No, it's better than GGC...GGC is really a disaster... I don't know... I can't get behind it.  I'm still struggling with getting behind PPG Industries (PPG)... This chemical group is a conundrum...  So let's do this...  Let's just go with DuPont (DD)... now under $50, with an ag play... And let's go with Dow Chemical (DOW), which we recommended at $37, and I reiterate here and is doing everything right.  That's my take...  Sorry, I'm not going to go out (on a limb) with the MEOH.

SYNA

36.88

na

Synaptics Inc. (SYNA)

SYNA -  Oh touchscreen... touchscreen stuff... I am not a fan of that kind of technology... I think it's too commodity... don't buy, don't buy...  I'm giving you a don't buy on that...

DM

17.34

na

Dolan Media Company (DM)

DM -  Oh, we had this before...  This is specialized business publications...  I liked it when it came public.  I spoke positively about it, but now... (bear sound)... Anything media... anything media is no-go... and any strength in media is a sell.  And, by the way, Disney (DIS) is not a media company.  It's a proprietary business entertainment company, so I'm not lumping it in... And, may I just say for the record... Bob Igor (CEO of DIS).... great quarter.

DIS

Walt Disney Co. (DIS)

TSO

24.68

na

Tesoro Corporation (TSO)

TSO -  No, no, no...  we're not recommending any refinery stocks here, including Valero (VLO) or Western Refining (WNR).  This business has terrible margins.  The margins were good for about three years, and then that's all over... These companies are being squeezed...  When you see oil going up, it's not even good for them.  I don't want any refining stocks.. sell, sell, sell... If you insist on owning a refining company, may I suggest you buy Marathon Oil (MRO), which has refining and oil properties... One of the reasons why it's the year of natural gas, and we like natural gas so much is because they don't have any refining!

SIRI

2.80

na

Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (SIRI)

SIRI -  There are going to be some earnings soon, but let me just tell you something...  I have had it!  I want everyone to go to the FCC's website, and that meeting, and say, enough!... It's an outrage!  My take is SIRI should be bought!  I've been sticking with that the whole way!  There's only one government organization standing in between what 18 million consumers want.  What are they doing?  What is this?  Is this some sort of top secret thing that has to be blocked?  I don't get it!...  

WWE

16.30

na

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)

WWE -  I was concerned when I saw the quarter... until I saw the replay of Fast Money...  Now, here's the deal... Linda McMahon (CEO) came on and told a great story.  The New York Times pants-ed them by saying that they boosted the dividend to enrich themselves... wrong!  They boosted the dividend for everybody but themselves.  The number was fine.  The yield is 8%.  After listening to Linda, and listening to what Macke said about it... he's a good judge of things... I say it's two thumbs up again, WWE...  I think she came on the show to straighten things out, and she did...  Fast Money rocks and so does WWE...

AKAM

36.31

na

Akamai Technologies Inc. (AKAM)

AKAM -   Good quarter, AKAM...  It speeds up the web, but I don't get it...  You know what?  We know that old technology, which is part of AKAM, doesn't work, including our friend... Cisco (
CSCO).  What we like is new technology, which includes Eaton (ETN) and Parker Hannifin (PH)... (buzzer sounds)... No.  I think you should take profits in AKAM...  Sell, sell, sell... But you know I don't like tech...  I like Intel (INTC), off of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)'s falling apart... I like Apple (AAPL), with the Synchronoss (SNCR) news today, about the start-ups in iPhones...  I say buy that one...  I like Research In Motion (RIMM), but I'm not pounding the table...  I like new tech... I'd rather own ETN and PH...  I'd rather own Harsco (HSC)... I'd rather own Joy Global (JOYG) on this decline...  Those are my favorites...

OKS

60.26

na

ONEOK Partners, L.P. (OKS)

OKS -  I've always liked OKS... that's a good situation.  A nice conservative name... By the way, while I like Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP), I like Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) too, and that was when I liked it at $28, and it went to $34.  I love those stocks and I like the yield...  I'm amorous with them...
