ABCO |
18.24 |
Advisory Board Co. (ABCO)
Jim: Before we get to
the Lightning Round, I have got to take
care of some business…. yesterday Todd
from D.C. asked me about the Advisory
Board Company, that was ABCO… alright,
ABCO is a company that provides custom
research and studies for hospitals… to
help them to determine best practices…
the research and analysts is provided on
yearly subscription revenues… the
largest customer base, hospitals, 95% of
ABCO’s revenues… about 85% of these
hospitals are non-profit… and 85% are
large, more than 100 beds… stocks taking
a hit because of it’s dependency on
hospitals… the fact that hospitals
budgets are being cut for more important
things… well, they could argue.. I would
stay away from this… if you want to talk
about paperwork and cutting it back… you
know what I would say… I say buy Cramer
fave,
Allscripts Healthcare
Solutions Inc. (MDRX)…
because Allscripts has much less
hospital exposure… and is also more
exciting situation.

Emergent BioSolutions (EBS)
Q: I need
to ask you about EBS?...
Jim: Emergent
BioSolutions… you know I gotta tell you…
this is another one of those plays… its
got… it's biologicals for
anti-terrorism… I like it… it has a bit
of a run… it is a bit of an Obama play…
I would say let it come down a little
before…

Q: What
do you think about Garmin at these

Charleston, listen man this is like Ft.
Sumter in 1861... you do not even want
to touch that darn thing… this stock has
come down all the way… and yet it is
still not cheap… I do not want to own
Garmin… if I want to own a device… I am
going to buy

about Cal-Maine Foods?...

MEMC Electronic Materials
(WFR)
Q: Do you
see MEMC Electronics Materials, symbol
WFR, bouncing off their lows?
Jim: No, I gotta tell
you something… maybe it bounces you
gotta sell it… WFR is a stock that I
managed to be able to catch… save, tell
people to sell it in the $60’s… one of
my best calls ever… I am reiterating… I
still don’t like the stock.

DIS |
20.61 |
Walt Disney Co. (DIS)
Q: I was
wondering what you think of Disney?
Jim: I think that Disney
under $20... 20 bucks… is a buy… you put
it away… someone was speaking at a
conference the other day… look, my kid
is at 6 years old… what should they buy…
that is when you buy Disney… and you
keep track of it… Bob Auger, is a
terrific manager… hey, listen, Bob.. if
you are listening Bob… Jonas Brothers…
could you get me a couple of tickets… I
mean, would it be that bad?

Target (TGT)
Q: My
stock in question is Target?
Jim: Hey, look I gotta
tell you something… everyone is suddenly
jumping on Target… they think the stores
look nicer… I say this to Target… I say
ix-nay Target-nay… I don’t want that
credit card business… I am not enamored
of the Target stores… I don’t want to go
there… I don’t want to shop there… I
don’t want to buy the stock.

IGT |
11.79 |
International Game Technology
(IGT)
Q:
IGT?...
Jim: No, I don’t like
gambling… I am worried about… I am
worried about
MGM (MGM)…
so naturally I have got to be worried
about the company that supplies
equipment in the casinos… which is why I
continue to rate IGT a sell, sell, sell,
sell, sell, sell.
Everyone else is getting tired...
everyone else is wanting to say oh, I
have got to have a trigger, I can’t take
it anymore… not me… I want more
Lightning Round… but they are telling me
that the Lightning Round is over.
