GLW

GILD*

Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD*)


FLR

46.79

Fluor Corporation (FLR)


Jim:     Interesting grouping here…. Corning... I think it’s finally bottomed, boy that stock has been shelled, I like that that’s a tech stock…. Gilead... I own it for ActionAlertsPlus.com, my charitable trust, I think that is the best Obama bio tech stock there is, it has come down nicely… Apple... I don’t want to talk about (CEO, Steve) Jobs' health anymore, I like the company very much… but bear with me…. Chevron... I sold it yesterday for my trust it has moved up too much but it has good yield when it comes under $70.… Fluor is infrastructure…

So, what do you have?... An infrastructure play, biotech, oil, uh oh, two techs… that’s no good….
ix-nay… that scares me… so I want you to sell Apple and keep Corning… Corning is too cheap. That is my bet. That is what I would do there.

The verdict:   Sell Apple, and keep Corning to make this portfolio more diversified.

You can’t have an overlap.

FPL

50.65

FPL Group Inc. (FPL)


Jim:     Let’s go right to work… one of the best utility companies... FPL... he has Verizon, Eric Steinberg confirming everything we said last night on the show in today’s CitiGroup conference… Wyeth... one of the finest drug stocks, I like some of the higher yielders, but I do like bio tech acquisition they are apparently going to make… Disney... we think that Bob Yeager is fabulous, we get gasoline back down, we get good travel there…. Coca Cola... Is it my favorite in the group? No, but it is steady, it has good dollar exposure, and it has been beaten down with a good yield…

So, we have a beverage company, we’ve got an entertainment company, we’ve got a drug company, we’ve got a Telco, and we've got a utility...

The verdict:   Diversified.

Yes, that man knows how to play.

Jim:     Eaton, we had Sandy Cutler on yesterday, and the stock has pulled back a little bit… I think if it gets in the $40’s you have got that accidental high yielder again that is notorious, B.I.G., and I am going to mispronounce some of the other guys…. Eagle Materials has been... that is a really deep cyclic stock that needs housing and roads to come back…. JNJ... I own this for ActionAlertsPlus.com, my charitable trust…like I do Eaton… this is the best growth dividend payer… Altria... do not worry about the excise stock it is built into the stock….Clean Energy... that is spec…. that is spec, drug, machinery, homes, tobacco…

The verdict:   Diversified.


Yes, total house of pleasure. I like that man.
