Perrigo Co. (PRGO)
Q: I
would like to think about Perrigo, a $6
haircut this week, what do you think?...
Jim: I was surprised… I
was surprised because Perrigo was a
tradedown play… it is when you go in and
you see a jar, that is just like
Pepto-Bismol but it will be like
Pepto-Bismol… they do that kind of knock
off thing… I thought that everyone said
that the trade down play was good… but
they had a bad quarter… I don’t like
that stock… that quarter was
disappointing… maybe it goes up a $1 and
then you sell, sell, sell… they should
have been coining money and they
weren’t… so I am done with it.

Exelon Corp. (EXC)
Q: I have
got to talk about Exelon, they light up
the state of Pennsylvania , the state of
Illinois, what the heck is happening to
them?...
Jim: Okay, they are
Philly electric.. the old Philly
electric… and the old Commonwealth Ed…
they are a nuclear plant company… I
think people feel that as long as
nuclear power was king, and oil was
high… they were going to make more money
than everybody else… they were going to
make more money than everybody else… oil
has come down… it has gotten rid of the
competitive advantage of the nuclear
play… that is why I am recommending
Duke Energy (DUK)…
which today by the way had an excellent
quarter and said things are fine… why…
because it got cold… I think Duke is the
better play… more conservative… I like
it… bigger dividend.

FWLT* |
20.85 |
Foster Wheeler (FWLT*)
Q: I
bought Foster Wheeler at its high, I am
looking to cost average?...
Jim: Alright... my
friend Stephanie… Stephanie Link and I
who run
ActionAlertsPlus.com, my
charitable trust, had
this identical discussion today after
they won a mega project from Iraq… there
was a huge award to Foster Wheeler and I
said don’t we have to pick up some more
at $19.20... she said no, lets wait to
see the quarter… because we have a lot
of Foster Wheeler… I think that is
prudent… let’s wait… but I have to tell
you the mega projects that Ray Milkovich
predicted when he stood right over here
are all coming true… so I am not willing
to walk away from Foster Wheeler… if you
don’t own any… I would
pull the trigger right
here… I think Foster Wheeler is going to
make the quarter… it has got about a
billion in cash… and it has got a $2
billion market cap… I think someone
should buy them already.

ERTS |
18.70 |
Electronic Arts (ERTS)
Q: We
wanted to ask about Electronic Arts?...
Jim: I am confused…
Tracy, I am confused… they reported an
awful quarter and then they fired a huge
number of people…they must have had a
lot fat at Electronic Arts… sometimes
when you are doing really well you get a
lot of fat… and so now the stock has
exploded up $3... I think it shouldn’t
be up that much on the expense control…
and I want you to sell Electronic Arts..
that is right… Sell ERTS.
