JAVAD

20.00

20.50

Sun Microsystems Inc.

JAVAD -  I thought that quarter was good but, suddenly, Cisco (CSCO) says something remotely negative, and then, Boom!... even though Network Appliance Inc. (NTAP) had great numbers tonight.  Here's my take... I do not think that JAVAD should be sold, but it doesn't seem to have what's known as the leverage... It gets sales... it's not making enough money with the sales... but I am not going to recommend that you buy it - don't buy, don't buy - or sell it right here.  This is no-man's land.

DRYS

98.42

103.65

DryShips, Inc.

DRYS -  Ever since... you know, I liked these dry bulks to make some money... Diana Shipping Inc. (DSX) reported a number today.  It looked great... The stock opened at $26, and then it goes to $31... We've got to wait... No, I cannot pull the trigger in this name... I cannot pull the trigger.  This group is heavily for sale... It's momentum-oriented.  I've got to wait.

USNA

43.06

43.05

USANA Health Sciences Inc.

USNA -  I looked at that last week, when we had Herbalife Ltd. (HLF) on... The stock's up a dollar, but it's way off the low... So is NutriSystem Inc. (NTRI).  Those things are all trading like dogs.  Here's my take... I had Johnson on from HLF.  We understand that they're just under fire... but I like HLF more than USNA.  This group does have a stench to it, but HLF stinks less than the others.

STAR

18.38

18.50

Starent Networks, Corp.

STAR -  No, man.  I've got enough problems with these communications stocks.  I have shrunk... I have shrunk... The three I like are Vodafone Group plc (VOD), which hit a 52-week high yesterday... I like Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) and I like AT&T Inc. (T) and, any one of the three gentleman who run those companies, welcome on the show...

WYNN

130.76

130.15

Wynn Resorts Ltd.

WYNN -  Let me tell you something... I got an email today from a guy... I know he's short Las Vegas Sands (LVS)... He said he just came back from Macau... there was no one there... But I went to my friend, Charles Norton, who runs the vice stocks, who recommended us to buy WYNN about 50 points ago (i.e., when it was $50 lower in price) and LVS about 50 points ago, and he says no, hold onto the group... the group is going to come back.  My personal feeling is, in this market, those stocks are too expensive, and I'm giving you a don't buy, don't buy... I've got a lot of fabulous stocks that have been beaten up... I've got the Colgate-Palmolive Co. (CL) and the Coca-Cola Co. (KO) and the Pepsico, Inc. (PEP) and they're all good, so let's not risk it... Let's not risk it on expensive stocks here.

STRA

178.94

179.08

Strayer Education Inc.

STRA -  All of the education stocks are hot.  There was a very nice piece today about ITT (ESI).  I like STRA.  I like ESI.  These are right, but that's a $170 stock, so let me give you more caveats... If you're a mutual fund manager, and you need to raise cash, you're going to go after the $170 stock, so you've got to use what I call a "wide scale"... If you want to buy STRA, you buy 25 shares at $170, and then wait for $150 for another 25...

NLY

16.32

16.44

Annaly Capital Management, Inc.

NLY -  That's my friend Mike Farrell... Man, he's about as good as it gets.  NLY goes down everytime the rumor is that the Fed's not going to cut... Everytime the rumor is that the Fed is going to cut, it goes up... I think the Fed has to cut.  They don't even know they have to cut... I want to bet with Mike Farrell.  He's got a good yield.  He's levered to the short interest rates going up...  I think NLY is one of the best stocks to own in this particular environment...

MTD

116.15

115.67

Mettler-Toledo International, Inc.

MTD -  That's a great stock.  It's had a huge run.  You know, this is just one of those classic weights and measures plays...  It's kind of a sleeper stock... It's not going to do anything untoward to you... it's not going to break your heart... It's just going to kind of go up over time and that, my friends, is exactly what we want from a stock, so I'm sticking with it.  I think it's terrific...  

RCI

46.25

46.28

Rogers Communications Inc.

RCI -  You know I like that stock!  You've got the strong Canadian dollar, so it looks even better.  I like RCI.  I recommended it lower.  I like Canada, by the way... I think Canada's still going good... I like the Loonie (Canadian dollar) too...  That is my favorite stock involving media right now, and I can't even look at where Time Warner Inc. (TWX)'s gone, and I feel so bad for the great people at Comcast Corp. (CMCSA).  It's a nightmare... 

SGR

65.25

66.21

Shaw Group Inc.

SGR -  They reaffirmed their guidance.  You know I felt that Foster Wheeler, Ltd. (FWLT) was good too.  A lot of people said, Jim, how can you stick by this infrastructure group... It's because I think the companies are bulletproof.  Obviously, the stocks aren't... they're going to go up and down... But I do believe that SGR's business... they're looking at a tri
