Introductory comments from Jim:

JJC:    Before we get started, I'd like to do a little housekeeping... I like to own up to everything...  Last week, Beverly in Colorado asked about Gen-Probe Inc. (GPRO), and I recommended Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. (TMO)...  the scientific instruments powerhouse...  It is really my bad, and I am whipping myself.  But, we've got to correct...

(Ed. Note:  We don't know what to conclude from these comments... )

AOB

9.87

na

American Oriental Bioengineering (AOB)

AOB -  I have been consistently negative about AOB, even though it does sound like the ultimate biotech, Monsanto (MON), Syngenta (SYT) play...  It isn't.  Sell, sell, sell!...  I don't want to own it.  I have been adamant that this is one of the Chinese stocks that I just wish would go away...  There is way too much speculation over in China, and I've got to tell you, my take is, you don't want to own AOB.

V

81.20

na

Visa Inc. (V)

V -  Too late... too late.  The money's been made on Visa...  We don't need to go back.  Mastercard (MA) is acting a little long in the tooth, but I like MA more than V.  We got in on the V IPO and then we said ring the register and we're not looking back.  We like MA more than V and we're always happy to take a profit, which is a lot better than a sharp stick in the eye.

MA

265.22

na

Mastercard (MA)

MA

TTM

10.05

na

Tata Motors Ltd. (TTM)

TTM -  Ta, ta for now...  Remember, we decided to leave India a year ago.  The market got overheated.  We have been staying away from that stock since $19.  We recommended it at $14, when they had the tragic terrorist attack...  When it went to $19, we said take the money off the table.  We are not looking back.  We don't want anything India...  If you feel like you need to be in a consultant, then go to Accenture Ltd. (ACN), which reported a blowout quarter last week, and is cheap as all get out.

YGE

15.92

na

Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. (YGE)

YGE -  I said to avoid this company.  There are people who consistently play it in the CNBC game.  This is a communist Chinese photovoltaic company.  Do I need to say anything more?  This is absolutely not for our viewers.  And, if anyone's still fooling around with YGE, I suggest you go buy a Yeungling, which is a darn good Pennsylvania beer.

BJRI

9.73

na

BJ's Restaurants Inc. (BJRI)

BJRI -  No, no...  This restaurant game has gotten really impossible.  There are only a handful of companies that are able to beat this environment.  We know that Darden Restaurants (DRI) did last week, and we salute them...  We're going to be looking at a couple of others later in this week, but I've got to tell you, no... ix-nay on the restaurant...  And let me throw in, by the way, I don't like any of the retailers either, because this is one monumentally-difficult market for the consumer, and we're not going to compound it by owning a lot of stocks that are levered to consumer spending, like BJRI.  We like BJ (BJS), the oil company... symbol BJS... it's been one of our faves... 52-week high... and we like BJ's Wholesale Club Inc. (BJ)... But we are not going to get into BJRI.

REXX

26.40

na

Rex Energy Corp. (REXX)

REXX -  Listen, I was just up there in Williamsport.  I'm telling you, they're drilling like mad in that Marcellus Shale.  And I've got to tell you, my wildcat portfolio is up gigantic versus the S&P...  and I want to stay in it... I want to stay in REXX.  Now, remember, REXX is the most speculative one of all these.  The least speculative one for Marcellus is Chesapeake (CHK) which is Aubrey McClennan's (CEO) stock.  He has traditionally been a buyer.  Everyone bemoans how bad the quarter is.  That stock was up $1.87 today.  It's up huge this year.  I'm tired of the griping and the crying...  We said it's the year of natural gas, and we're sticking by it.

CSIQ

40.19

na

Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ)

CSIQ -  No... On Mad Money, we don't care where it came from, we care where it's going... and the answer is down... Sell, sell, sell!...  I don't want to own that stock.  I have endorsed Applied Materials (AMAT) as a low-risk solar play... (buzzer sounds)... and First Solar (FSLR) as the aggressive one.  And the FSLR conundrum of insider selling has been solved.  We checked it out, we believe in it.  I still think that, if Obama gets in, FSLR's your play.  Now, if McCain gets in, you can forget about FSLR.  And, because of the fact that Obama's winning in the polls right now, I feel like we've got some edge.

ED

39.09

na

Consolidated Edison Inc. (ED)

ED -  Can I just say that ED, at $38 today, was a joke...  it was a travesty... I cannot believe that stock got this low.  A 6% yield...  What do people think... people are going to stop putting their lights in New York City?...  That was extraordinary, that buy...  One of the things is... and I don't mean to be political on the show... One of the concerns is that, if Obama wins, what you will see is a complete scrapping of the favorable dividend treatment of stocks, which will then make the situation with ED worth less.  My take is this... and I want to be really, really clear...  ED, below $40, is a solid extreme buy, and I want to pick some up.  I want to stick with ED.

VFC

71.18

na

VF Corp. (VFC)

VFC -  By the way, I want to stick with VFC which just pre-announced a better-than-expected quarter...  How much do we like Eric Wiseman (CEO)...  He has been our wise man in apparel...
