MAXIMUS, Inc. (MMS)
Q:
Interested in your thoughts on
Maximus?
Jim: They should never
have let Maximus die… they
should have let him live at the
end… I mean it is why I like
Russell… the stock, it is the
stock Jim… this is another… this
is a consulting program stock…
this is another unbelievable
Obama play… because what has
happened is is that all the
money is going to these kind of
organizations that make a lot of
money off the government… human
resources… what a shame that it
is not going to like John Deere…
but that is okay… that is okay…
because this is the business
that Obama has chosen.

Silver Wheaton Corp.
(SLW)
Q: I need
to know about SLW - Silver
Wheaton?
Jim: Silver Wheaton…
might as well be brass Wheaton…
we are not a buyer of Silver… we
like gold… we are not silver
hoarders… we think that gold is
the metal of choice… and we are
buying gold right into the
weakness.

AT&T (T)
Q: I want
to know about AT&T?
Jim: T… the letter T…
Randall Stephenson… I like
letter T…. Goldman Sachs
recently upgraded both AT&T and
Verizon
(VZ),
and they have not moved yet…
they are bad… let’s big up some
AT&T for that bountiful yield
and good management… they took
the risk on the
iPhone…
that was right… I say two thumbs
up.

First Midwest Bancorp Inc. (FMBI)
Q: I am
interested in First Midwest Bank Corp
and it is a 52 week high $40 and it is
down to $6.50...
Jim: I don’t care… it is
a bank stock… we don’t recommend bank
stocks… bank stocks have become airline
stocks… we like a couple of them… but we
prefer to keep them close to the vests…
why… because we don’t like losing money
for people… we don’t like losing money
for people… and our critics love it when
we lose money for people… and you know
what I think… never mind.

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ*)
Q: J&J -
I am interested in Johnson &
Johnson?
Jim:
Warren Buffett…
Mr. Buy America, sold America…
America is Johnson & Johnson…
this stock is so cheap…
historically… I welcomed
management of J&J… they won’t
come one… why… perhaps it is
because we are too big a
champion… I like J&J… I want to
buy it… and I own it for
ActionAlertsPlus.com, my
charitable trust… and
we are doing better than market
because of stocks like JNJ.

JEC |
35.51 |
Jacobs Engineering Group,
Inc. (JEC)
Q: My
stock that I have been following
is JEC - Jacobs Engineering?
Jim: No, no, no… Brandon
Jacobs, he is a franchise
player… but Jacobs Engineering…
sell, sell, sell… we are done
with infrastructure… Obama wants
people who push paper and
pencil, not who push
Caterpillars and earth movers…
that is the game… I would stay
away… Brandon Jacobs, I would
take him in a second.
