Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

BBY

na

Best Buy (BBY)

Q:     Best Buy, what are your thoughts on it?...

Jim:  
Best Buy starting to got carried away this week a little because Goldman Sachs said that it is going to have a huge, huge step up in earnings because of Circuit City (CC)… You know what?… While I like the idea of the last man standing… I am going to say take profits from Best Buy… the consumer is too weak.

 

ACC

18.74

American Campus Communities Inc. (ACC)

Q:     ACC - American Campus Communities?...

Jim:  
I like that stock… I like that stock… my buddy, friend, pal Tom McGrath, who is with me in football, and when we were at the Eagles… he is into that game too… I think the business of redoing the area around schools is bullish… I am going to step up to the plate and recommend that stock.

 

MDRX

9.23

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions Inc. (MDRX)

Q:     I want to take advantage of the centrally computerized medical record systems, do we like MDRX?

Jim:  
We not only like MDRX… but we like Glen Tullman, he has been on a number of times… including a special dividend… I happen to think that his company is set up to be a big winner on computerized medical records… of course, the New York Times came out this week and said that the big issue is privacy… he has addressed the privacy issue… he is on top of it… I am a bull on Allscripts.

Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

HES

58.41

Hess Corporation (HES)

Q:     I need to know about Hess?...

Jim:  
The stock has had a very big move this week… I am concerned… I think the move is too great… I want to ring the register… if you want refining I am going to give you the double play, which is Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO)… up .44 cents… that has got refining.. its margins are huge… and its got exploration and production… pull the trigger on MRO you won’t regret it.

 

MRO

27.00

Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO)

See HES comments above for:
MRO

 

DD

22.40

DuPont (DD)

Q:     DuPont?...

Jim:  
I said that Dow Chemical was a nare-do-well… I didn’t like the yield… I felt they would have to cut it… they sliced it this week… I have said that DuPont, I don’t trust their dividend either… I have said to sell DuPont… I am reiterating right here to sell DuPont… its businesses… it's got a drug business with too much stuff going generic… it is way too connected to housing… I do not like the stock of DuPont.


 

 

RYN

29.35

Rayonier Inc. (RYN)

Q:     I want to know about Rayonier Incorporated?...

Jim:  
Well, this is another one of those companies that does… it is like a trough that spins off a lot cash… it has got a 6.8% yield… I have historically liked that company… and I am saying right now on the radar… that is a nice place to be for some good yield… I trust the yield.

 

CEG

25.14

Constellation Energy Group, Inc. (CEG)

Q:     CEG - Constellation Energy Group?...

Jim:  
No, that is done… That takeover has happened… we are not arbitragers… Witness anyone who stayed in Rohm & Haas (ROH) - and lost the gain, because the deal fell through)… It is time to take profits.


 

ASTE

24.46

Astec Industries Inc. (ASTE)

Q:     What do you think of Astec?...

Jim:  
You know we looked at this stock… my friend James Altucher has written about it… this happens to be a terrific way to play road building… however, the stimulus package had almost nothing for road building… so I am a seller of ASTE before people realize how little was in that stimulus package to really do the right thing.

 

AUY

8.99

Yamana Gold Inc. (AUY)

Q:     Yamana Gold, what do you think?...

Jim:  
No, we don’t like the way that they have managed the company… that is too bad because the guy who runs it is a terrific guy Peter Marrone… the stock has had a nice run… but when we want to own individual gold stocks, we always default to Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM) or we buy
SPDR Gold ETF (GLD)… I believe that everyone should have one position that is gold or gold like in their portfolio… I say make it Agnico Eagle… I would stick with Agnico Eagle.


 

AEM

53.74

Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM)

AEM


 

GLD
