Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

GOOG

378.77

Google, Inc. (GOOG)

Q:     You have to tell me about Google, I have been watching it skyrocket. Should I wait for a pullback or should I jump in?

Jim:  
Yes, you have to wait for a pullback… it is up 78 straight points… everyone knows that I like Eric Schmidt… everyone knows that I like Google… the stock has got the animal spirits going for it… as does Amazon.com (AMZN)… as does Apple (AAPL)… as does Research In Motion (RIMM)… this is the four horseman… if you want to read how I feel about them go to my nephew’s blog, I always like to disclose that first, Cliff Mason… the millennial blog… his millennial blog on CNBC.com as he talks about how often we recommend those stocks… and I am sticking by it… but I think you can get… I know that you can get a pullback… and I do believe by the way… just so we are very, very clear on this… I do believe that a pullback could be eminent in the stock… and then we are going to pull the trigger on the show… as we have repeatedly when it comes to Google.

BEZ

14.32

Baldor Electric Co. (BEZ)

Q:     My stock is Baldor Electric. Sell? Buy?

Jim:  
No, I like Baldor… I mean Baldor has come down…it has come down so viciously… it reminds me of Crane which has come down… and Harsco Corp. (HSC)… these are just like great industrial companies that absolutely have been completely and utterly thrown away…. and I want to be a buyer of these… even if the economy does not come back in the next 18 months… this Baldor is way too cheap… it is just way, way, way too cheap.

HSC

26.00

Harsco Corp. (HSC)

Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

RIMM

59.00

Research In Motion (RIMM)

Q:     I just want to know about Research In Motion?

Jim:  
Okay, again I am going to refer you to the millennial money blog… at CNBC.com… because this is one of the four horseman that I continually believe have the great earnings momentum… RIMM, Amazon.com (AMZN), Google, Inc. (GOOG), Apple (AAPL)… Apple just broke thru $100... which is genuine jibberish meaning par… and I believe these stocks are on a move… however, just like I said to that nice woman from North Carolina… with Google… I think RIMM could pull back… you do not need to pay up for it.

AMSC

18.55

American Superconductor (AMSC)

Q:     Here is my stock American Superconductor?

Jim:  
Uh, it is very windmill-related… it is very alternative related… and that means that it does not have enough juice for me right now… cause oil is not on fire… I have to be don’t buy… that was a great stock… we recommended it much higher… we took some profits here… I am not ready to go back in yet.

NYX

21.71

NYSE Euronext, Inc. (NYX)

Q:     Jim, NYX - NYSE Euronext should I be buying it now?

Jim:  
I listened to Duncan Niederauer today… there were a lot of things that did not go Duncan’s way… obviously volume was really terrible… he stuck by the dividend as you can see… they had to cut prices to keep share… the papers… the press said that he didn’t keep share… that is not true… he kept share… this stock… you are going to be biding your time until the IPO market comes back… they are taking in a lot of cost… I am bullish because of the 5% yield… there is not a lot of other reason to buy it… which puts you in good stead till they get things going their way.


 

FO

33.13

Fortune Brands (FO)

Q:     Question about Fortune Brands?

Jim:  
I am stuck… I was actually talking to one of my sources, Julie, tonight… we are trying to figure out… she does retail… whether this is the right level $33... Bruce Carbonari, I thought he was too bullish… I say the same thing about Rick Goings last week… I need these CEO’s to temper their enthusiasm when their business is tempered… and I don’t think that Bruce tempered it that much.. I am concerned about Fortune… I need to know about that dividend… I know that they have enough cash flow to cover it… but I am concerned… because if the housing does not bottom as I think it will… if we get the $15,000 credit it will.. then I think Fortune Brands may, may be dead in the water… but I share the idea that it may be the right level to get involved.

MA

162.02

Mastercard (MA)

Q:     My question is on Mastercard?

Jim:  
I like MA… I would really rather call them Visa Inc. (V)… I like Visa too… now both MA and Visa have spiked… when things spike in this market we have to wait until they come down… this market always gives us an opportunity to buy lower… let’s wait until MA comes down before we pull the trigger.


V

55.32

Visa Inc. (V)

See MA comments above for:
V

BSX

9.18

Boston Scientific Corp. (BSX)

Q:     My stock is BSX?...

Jim:  
Boston Scientific… nah, it is a second rate healthcare play… honestly, they loaded up the balance sheet with debt… now I have to tell you St. Jude Medical Inc. (STJ) is better… but let’s step back for a second… this is now a great neighborhood… all the medical device stocks are in bull market mode… as people realize that healthcare does well… I am not going to tell you… that Boston Scientific is a bear… I am just going to say don’t buy… my favorite in that group is St. Jude Med.


STJ

36.95

St. Jude Medical Inc. (STJ)

See BSX comments above for:
STJ

ADM

29.03

Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM)

Q:     What do you think of ADM?...  Archer Daniels...

Jim:  
I don’t care for the management… I don’t care for the products… I think there is a lot better ways to play it… ADM is my least favorite ag name… I would rather be in Bunge (BG)… I would rather be in Mosaic (MOS)… I would rather be in Agrium (AGU)… and, yes, even though I said take profits… it went down a lot… I would rather be in Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNH)… a lot better than Archer Daniels… I stick with every one of them...


BG

51.87

Bunge (BG)

MOS

45.64
