WM

19.88

na

Washington Mutual Inc. (WM)

WM -  Becareful, they just got their dividend.  Wachovia (WB) has been one of my favorites.  I like it, by the way... BlackRock (BLK) is an anomoly.  This is one of those companies that understands all of this junk debt better than anybody.  I have been remiss in not focusing on this stock.  It's a $220 stock.  That shouldn't stop me.  I'd buy one share of BLK and stick it in the stocking.  That's not coal, that's Black Rock!

WMT

49.43

na

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT)

WMT -  I don't trust Lee Scott as the CEO to do a great job but, you know what?  The stock is so darn cheap, I bet you it goes to $51-$52, where I predicted.  I have to say, after that last quarter, it's now an up stock.  I've not been behind it...

Price target:  $51.00 - $52.00

ARAY

15.32

na

Accuray Incorporated (ARAY)

ARAY -  We're familiar with ARAY.  We recommended it at one point.  We took a little profit in it.  It's been not that great since.  I've got to tell you, Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) will pull back, and that's one of my stocks that I think can rally right into year end... I'd rather see you owning a share or two of ISRG, than owning 10 shares of ARAY.  Sorry...  ISRG's a winner.

ISRG

347.58

Intuitive Surgical Inc. (ISRG)

NLY

17.65

na

Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NLY)

NLY -  May I just say, that I am proud of my friend, Mike Farrell, who stood clear... He's the CEO of NLY...  He stood clear of all this nonsense.  He's got a 6% yield.  His stock's starting to move up.  If we catch a big rate cut tomorrow, this thing's going to $20.  If it's a smaller one, it's going to inch its way to $20, and eventually get there.  Mike Farrell, congratuations to you for staying on the sidelines, when every other company just kind of self emmilated...  You understood the hazards.  Congratulations to you and your shareholders.

Price target:  $20.00

ZINC

18.74

na

Horsehead Holding Corp. (ZINC)

ZINC -  ZINC has just been going down.  The price of the commodity's been going down.  I'm not backing away.  I like lead, I like zinc, I like copper, I like chrome, I like Molybdenum...  These are all going to be in short supply because of China.  I think that you should be a buyer of ZINC here ('mon-back sound)... I really like that stock.

USBE

10.54

na

US BioEnergy Corp. (USBE)

USBE -  Yeah, this is an ethanol play.  I don't like those.  I think you should take profits.  You had a nice gain.  Let's go to work and start selling that sucker.

DRYS

91.55

na

DryShips, Inc. (DRYS)

DRYS -  We liked these bulk carriers and then the Baltic Dry Index, that they trade off of, went down.  It's working its way back up.  When we got pretty much three straight up days of Baltic, we went bullish again.  I do think that Diana Shipping (DSX) is cheaper.  Remember, we did get a little flummexed there, because we had the CEO of DSX on, and he wasn't that upbeat, so we pulled back.  Then the stocks dropped... then we pulled the trigger again.  I say you're fine.  

DSX

34.01

na

Diana Shipping Inc. (DSX)

DSX

CORS

12.04

na

Corus Bankshares Inc. (CORS)

CORS -  Unbelievable short position!  If the Fed cuts a half point, you're going to see $15 on that (buzzer sounds)...  CORS is a difficult situation to be honest, because the fundamentals aren't that good but, in 1990... You can see it in CONFESSIONS OF A STREET ADDICT... In 1990, I was still shorting bank stocks, after we had hit the bottom... and a lot of the bank stocks that I was shorting were like CORS and, at the time, the Fed was done easing, and Citigroup (C*) got the investment from the Arabs, and everything worked out.  I got crushed.  I don't like CORS.  I don't like to play short busting, but I have to admit, even CORS goes up big on a rate cut. 

SWHC

6.80

na

Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. (SWHC)

SWHC -  Oh man, Smith and Wesson... No, we got off that horse in the mid-teens.  We are so glad we did...  We know that a lot of people lost money since then.  I've got to tell you, I still can't get bullish on it.  I am saying, don't buy, don't buy.   I don't want you to stick with SWHC...
