TSM

7.45

Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM)


Q:     I would like your thoughts on Taiwan Semiconductor?

Jim:  
No, no, no, and no… I am recommending no semi-conductor companies on this show… I don’t see any growth that… the industry is in complete retraction… it is back to the way it was in the 1990’s… I am not going to recommend that… same thing with the disk drive companies, I am not going to recommend them… and let me throw in SanDisk Corp. (SNDK), and the flash memory companies… everyone of those is a sell.

Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

SNDK

8.01

SanDisk Corp. (SNDK)


See TSM comments above for:
SNDK

LLY

22.75

Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY)


Q:     What do you think of Eli Lilly?

Jim:  
I think the government is taking aim at big pharma… like LLY… that happens to be a good company with a 7% yield… but I think that Henry Waxman has historically felt that the government out to use its buying power to be able to cut prices… so anyone who has a product portfolio like Eli Lilly, that has competition, competitive other drugs… they will compare those other drugs, and they will drive prices down… which is why I am no longer recommending any big pharma that doesn’t have a lot of growth… that is a brutal change for me… necessitated by Obama’s horrible budget… for stocks, may be good for the American people, it is not good for the American shareholder.

ADSK

11.86

Autodesk, Inc. (ADSK)


Q:     The stock is Autodesk it hit it’s 52 week low today?

Jim:  
Yes, I know but I don’t have any reason to recommend Autodesk… I don’t see any real momentum… I don’t see any earnings that make me want to be it… I want to sell, sell, sell Autodesk.


 

TS

15.43

Tenaris SA (TS)


Q:     I wanted to know, what do you think about Tenaris?

Jim:  
Oh gee, you know I was looking at the OIH (i.e., the
Oil Services Index (OIH) today… I mean this is… no, design software… no, let me tell you the problem with Tenaris, okay… Tenaris is without a doubt one of the great companies, so let’s put that out there… but it makes piping that we need for drilling… and I think the Obama plan has destroyed what wasn’t destroyed by the decline in oil pricing… so I believe that there is much less drilling… which means much less use for Tenaris pipe… which means Tenaris, even down here, cannot be bought… let’s wait until it goes under $10... and then maybe then, we will pull the trigger… sorry to be bearish… good to be honest.

Price target to revaluate and possibly buy:   Under $10.00
