Full Company Name/Comments
(see comments above for each)

YGE

27.19

Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. (YGE)

YGE - Listen to me... We have been riding the First Solar (FSLR) horse... You ain't seen nothing yet... FSLR, at a 52-week high today. The only business model with thin film so, therefore, they can ramp the numbers. FSLR is your play! Not YGE, not LDK Solar Co.Ltd. (LDK), not Evergreen Solar Inc. (ESLR)... I did miss Energy Conversion Devices (ENER), though, but I'm not going to shoot myself about it...

FSLR

307.94

First Solar (FSLR)

FSLR

LDK

36.57

LDK Solar Co.Ltd. (LDK)

LDK

ESLR

9.27

Evergreen Solar Inc. (ESLR)

See YGE comments above for:
ESLR

WAVE

6.99

Nextwave Wireless Inc. (WAVE)

WAVE - No... Skip the WAVE... That's like Clearwire (CLWR)... Sell, sell, sell!... I'm giving you a two-fer... a two-fer sell. Those stocks are poisonous!

CLWR

13.63

Clearwire Corporation (CLWR)

See WAVE comments above for:
CLWR

RAME

5.50

RAM Energy Resources, Inc. (RAME)

RAME - You know, I looked at RAME... This is one... and the reason why I looked at it is very funny... There was a very good article today in the Wall Street Journal about the hedge funds looking at the little natural gas... This stock, the last time I looked at it, was under our (recommendation standard) $250 million threshold... It just now passed over... I like it. I don't want to go crazy on it, when I've got fine stocks like APA and Devon Energy (DVN) pulling back. I'd rather see you in a major than a minor... although I like that for speculation purposes.

APA

135.04

Apache Corp. (APA)

See RAME comments above for:
APA

DVN

116.01

Devon Energy (DVN)

See RAME comments above for:
DVN

BMY

21.60

Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY)

BMY - BMY is an opportunity! That's what it is! It's trading $21-23... Everyone's worried about Plavix coming off... They're selling companies... They're going to be IPO-ing their baby food... I think this company is worth $28-30, and you're paid to wait, with that bountiful dividend. Do not give up on BMY!

Price target: $28.00-$30.00

EDS

24.34

Electronic Data Systems (EDS)

EDS - No! We got that. You ring the register... I like Mark Hurd (CEO of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), which is acquiring EDS)... I'm in the camp which says that this may not be that great an idea yet. We are not arbitragers... Sell, sell, sell! Don't be greedy! Bulls make money, bears make money, and hogs get slaughtered. You're being greedy. Move on...

HSY

37.26

Hershey Co. (HSY)

HSY - Very difficult... because, on this show, we do not recommend stocks on a takeover basis. They have to have good fundamentals to get a takeover. Now, we don't like the fundamentals of HSY, so I'm going to give it a don't buy... I know... it's historically cheap, but why not buy a Heinz (HNZ), which we like so much? Why not buy a General Mills Inc. (GIS), which is doing so much better? Those are two... Hey, look at Pepsi (PEP) coming down every day... Indra Nooyi (CEO of PEP) is not that bad. Let's stop that, and buy some PEP for heaven's sake! Buy, buy, buy! I also like Procter & Gamble (PG)...

HNZ

48.60

Heinz (HNZ)

See HSY comments above for:
HNZ

GIS

61.88

General Mills Inc. (GIS)

See HSY comments above for:
GIS

PEP

67.10

Pepsi (PEP)

See HSY comments above for:
PEP

65.50

Procter & Gamble (PG)

PG

CAT

82.98

Caterpillar Inc. (CAT)

CAT - I like CAT... I think CAT's terrific, and I like the weakness. I wrote an article today, saying that Deere (DE) hurts CAT... that's ridiculous... Forget DE, I want to buy CAT! CAT, at $81, is a screamin' buy... screamin' buy...

Price target to buy CAT: $81.00

49.58

DuPont (DD)

DD - I saw news about DD and seeds today. It was extraordinary... (buzzer sounds)... a lot of new patents being files, a great dividend... The company's been able to rearrange its whole pastiche of businesses, much more toward biofuels and insulation... DD is a miraculous turnaround company. It never gets enough credit, and I am determined to get people into DD, as I have since it was at $45.

GS*

190.13

Goldman Sachs (GS*)

GS* - First of all, may I just say that Lloyd Blankfein (CEO)... Why do we pay so much attention to those that don't make money? Lloyd Blankfein has consistently made money, and he is the most underpaid man on Wall Street... He's an underpaid man and, the fact is, every single penny that he has he's made for you too... I am a bull on Lloyd Blankfein... I am a bull on GS*. I own it for my charitable trust... I'm not selling the stock. I think the stock goes through $200. I think you should stick with GS*...

Price target: It goes through $200.00

	Thumbs down - indicates he has said not to buy or to sell the stock, based on his comments We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show. Please read his comments to decide for yourself.
	Back up the truck - indicated by Jim, when he says the stock is so good, that he would do a 'mon-back' on the stock... In other words, this is the sound someone would say to a truck driver, "Come on back... " as he is "backing up the truck" to load up on his cargo. Translation for buying stocks: This recommendation by Jim indicates that, after you do your own homework on the stock, you should feel comfortable loading up on it, as it is in a good position to be bought at this point.
