SUN

43.70

na

Sunoco Inc. (SUN)

SUN -  I've got a real problem with SUN. I got a real problem with the refiners, I've been negative on the refiners for months. I think the margins have just gone caput there, I noticed that Goldman joined me in saying that Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) should be sold, sell,sell,sell. I don't like SUN, I don't like Hess Corporation (HES), I don't like VLO. I don't recommend them. If you need a refining stock that bad I'd give you Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO), which as both refining and oil in it but otherwise no to that sector.

JNPR

27.32

na

Juniper (JNPR)

JNPR -  I'm not a fan of JNPR. I'm not a fan, they're going head to head with Cisco (
CSCO), as they have for years. I think that's why the stock's done nothing, I think it's a sell, sell, sell. The only tech stocks we are recommending on the show are Apple (AAPL) and Intel (INTC) off of the the decline and fall of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD).

 

       

AAPL

CTV

51.04

na

Commscope Inc. (CTV)

CTV -  No, this is like a coaial, cable play...cat and dog...this is one of those things where they'll say "wait a second Jim, we're a highly specialized company". Sorry, I want to ring the register, there are too many players in that game, way to much competition.

DNA

68.53

na

Genentech Inc. (DNA)

DNA -  It is a tough one. It's a tough one because they've got a great drug in this Avastin, but it's not getting the approvals that I want. That's why I decided to recommemnd only Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD) and a half position in Celgene Corporation (CELG).  Don't buy. I'm not recommending any others, any other biotech stocks. That group has gotten too hard too. I just think it's too hard. Remember I said sell that. I stil think that BioMarin (BMRN) can go higher, but that one is getting a little long in the tooth too.

GENC

31.85

na

Gencor Industries Inc. (GENC)

GENC -  This is a surprising company. We recommended this a long time ago. It's got a lot of different things, it's got asphalt filtration, it's got some construction to it, but you know what? You've got a winner and may I also recommend you take a look at Owens Corning (OC), if you like that one you would like this, because OC has got a lot of good stuff too. You've got a winner there.

SPWR

82.30

na

SunPower (SPWR)

SPWR -  No, no, nope, nope. We are not positive on any of the traditional solar stocks that use silicate, that do not have an edge. The only one we're recommending in that whole group of them, we're certainly negative on the Chinese solars, the only one we are recommending is First Solar (FSLR), Citigroup joined me in recommending the stock today and that stock is the only name you're going to hear me recommend other than Applied Materials (AMAT), which reports next week and has a solar division.

OSUR

5.48

na

OraSure Technologies Inc. (OSUR)

OSUR -  No, no, no. That was one of the worst misquarters I've seen in ages. I don't want anything to do with that. You've got to sell that. I don't care that it's 5 bucks, they've just missed the quarter like I've never seen a miss. Ix-nay on that one.

ENER

47.74

na

Energy Conversion Devices (ENER)

ENER -  ENER has been on a roll. It has been on a roll, but do you mind that at a 52-week-high I say that bulls make money, bears make money and hogs get slaughtered... Let's ring the register there, you've got a great win.

FITB

20.77

na

Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB)

FITB -  I don't trust the dividend. This company used to be the premier bank in the country. It has systematically beaten itself up, done many things wrong, I don't trust the dividend, I'm a seller of FITB. It's just another Ohio bank like Huntington Bancshares Inc. (HBAN) and National City Corporation (NCC) and KeyCorp (KEY) that didn't know what they were doing!

GTE

5.49

na

Gran Tierra Energy, Inc. (GTE)

GTE -  Oh boy, that is problematic security. I've got so many great oil and gas stocks, you've just had a huge run in this and I'm gonna recommend that you swap out of that stock and get into Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK). I think CHK is great. XTO Energy Inc. (XTO*)... on the way down.  Devon Energy (DVN)... I was on the Devon call, I don't know what people didn't like about it. That was a monster good one. Halliburton (HAL) for the natural gas drill and don't forget Nabors (NBR). I think all of those are less specular leaders and therefore more right at this time.
