Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

KGC

17.41

Kinross Gold Corp. (KGC)

Q:     I bought Kinross Gold about a year and a half ago when you recommended it, at the time you thought it might be subject to a buy out.

Jim:  
Well, Kinross is just a good gold play… but we want to have the lowest cost gold plays… that is going to send us to Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM)… I don’t mind Kinross and I even recommend it because I like gold as part of any portfolio… but I would rather see you in Agnico Eagle… I am not predicting any takeovers in this sector.

AEM

52.45

Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM)

See KGC comments above for:
AEM

ATHN

37.20

Athenahealth, Inc. (ATHN)

Q:     I wanted to get your take on ATHN?

Jim:  
Yeah, we have liked Athena Healthcare… Why have we liked it?… We like it because it is record spilling… it reminds me of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions Inc. (MDRX)… anything that keeps the price of healthcare down… MedcoHealth Solutions Inc. (MHS)… all these same root… these are the companies that will save the government money… we are a cash strapped government unlike China… and we need all the money we can get and save… and Athena is part of that situation… Athena very attractive if I remember my bullfinch.

Wal-Mart (WMT*)

Q:     I have a 10 year old son, I was thinking of investing in stocks for him, what do you think about Wal-Mart?

Jim:  
I think you are buying it right… you are buying it down… let’s see down 16 straight points… I have been itching to buy some more for my charitable trust… the way my rules my work if I mention it I have to wait five days… I think this is a great level… understand, pull the trigger… I expect it to close at $45 at options week… it has got a lot of pressure… but Wal-Mart was up today… and I really… I mean it was up at one point today… and then it traded down near the end of the day…I like Wal-Mart very much… I think it traded even most of the day.

Q:     My question is about GMCR - Green Mountain coffee roasters?

Jim:  
I think you are being greedy… bulls make money, bears make money, hogs get slaughtered… that is a nice run… come on it is just coffee… by the way, I had a bad Starbucks experience today… the guy gave me the wrong coffee… the line was really long… he was totally disorganized… and it made me realize what Danny Myers said on Monday… they ain’t coming back anytime soon… plus I felt very gauche… I felt like when I walked around with a Starbucks cup… it felt like I was John Thain… hey listen I am John Thain, I am drinking Starbucks.. and you know that John Thain is just become a curse word, along with Feld… I did not feel like I was Madoff… because then I would have stolen the Starbucks… oh, allegedly.

V

49.13

Visa Inc. (V)

Q:     Visa, Jim?...

Jim:  
Visa just reported… it looks like a good quarter… I don’t want to jump up and down about it because my knee is sore… but it does look like a really good idea to buy some Visa… let’s wait until it comes in… don’t get too aggressive… as soon as you get too aggressive in this market… you get your head blown off… and the Lightning Round is over.
