Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

FCX*

37.04

Freeport-McMoRan (FCX*)

Q:     You know my symbol, you love my symbol, it is FCX baby.

Jim:  
This stock has now more than doubled since they cut their dividend… it is now up more than 9 points since they did the secondary offering to clean up their balance sheet… copper is over $1.60... China is ordering… what is not to like… I still like FCX, which is ActionAlertsPlus.com, my charitable trust, and I send out the bulletins… and I am recommending it.

JOYG

20.46

Joy Global (JOYG)

Q:     My question is Joy Global, what are your thoughts?

Jim:  
Joy Global I talked all about this with my friend Matt Horning today… we are trying to figure out in many ways is the key to the next infrastructure stock… it is the coal company… and we have had the CEO on… I think that the stock is so dirt cheap that I am going to continue… to continue to pound the table to buy Joy Global… the Chinese are ordering equipment… it is a good company.

ACN

30.12

Accenture Ltd. (ACN)

Q:     My question is about Accenture, I think more of the financial institutions are in trouble that will try to outsource more of the technology jobs.

Jim:  
I agree… I agree.. you know I started debating this… I work with Stephanie Line at ActionAlertsPlus.com, my charitable trust, we have been kicking this name around endlessly… this is probably the level at $30... I think that this is a terrific company that is going to be a big beneficiary of the collapse of some other IT company in India… and I like your thing… you have got horse sense.

Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

SEE

12.59

Sealed Air Corp. (SEE)

Q:     If we are going to get this economy going, we are going to need a lot of packaging type stuff. Anything from packing peanuts to whatever you see in the supermarket, what do you think about Sealed Air?

Jim:  
I have got to tell you that I am seeing a lot of pressure in packaging companies… you know IP had to cut its dividend this week… Packing Corporation of America looked like it had a good dividend, that stock has been cut in half… Sealed Air has almost a 4% yield… it is a well run company… at $12, 52 week low… give or take $2... I will go with you… it is probably over sold… I think I want to buy some.

HMIN

9.14

Home Inns & Hotels (HMIN)

Q:     I want to know about HMIN my favorite stock?   Home Inns...

Jim:  
We are not going to recommend… I tell you next to airline stock we are not going to recommend any hotel stocks.. I do hope that President Obama starts encouraging travel… because I think he has been a big crimped on travel… but that may have been the old Obama before the stock market got hammered, and he sees how much he needs Wall Street and Main Street to embrace his plans.

WMI

24.07

Waste Management (WMI)

Q:     My pick is WMI, it has been sold off real bad in the past couple of weeks. (Waste Management)...

Jim:  
Let’s buy some WMI… Mr. Steiner is a great man.. he has returned a lot of capital to shareholders… let me just double check… I think that yield goes to 5%, 4.83%… the man has come on our show and repeatedly and said… (buzzer sounds)... hey listen I got the buzzer like 47 times last night… could I just have a little breathing room here.


 

FO

21.59

Fortune Brands (FO)

Q:     I am calling about Fortune Brands, what has happened to it since early December?

Jim:  
The company has missed numbers, missed numbers… everyone thinks that that yield is in terrible trouble… the Mr. Carbonari has not been able to turn this company around… that the cabinet business like Fasco’s business is just right thru the floor… and we know that even hyde and spirits have been selling poorly… remember Brown-Forman Corporation (BF-B) this week, bad number… Diageo plc (DEO), bad number… I got to put it on hold… I got to put in on hold… even though it seems cheap… but I got to tell you… it is a vicious, vicious vortex down there.

FWLT*

18.61

Foster Wheeler (FWLT*)

Q:     I was wondering about Foster Wheeler AG?...

Jim:  
I have been just totally thrown off by this… why, because Ray Milchovich told such a bad story in the conference call… it made me feel awful about it… I own it for my charitable trust, ActionAlertsPlus.com… it went all the way down to $12... I felt terrible… it just moved up to $18... it got a couple of mega contracts… Goldman Sachs recommended today to go from hold to buy… I don’t want to tell you that I feel great about it because the quarter was so bad… but I ain’t selling Foster Wheeler… I think it goes to mid $20’s… I am sticking with it.
