V

55.60

Visa Inc. (V)

Jim:   Holy cow, I think Visa is terrific… it is a technology play really… I think that it is absolutely one of the best out there… and I want to buy Visa right here… I think that this is a terrific level.

PEP*

51.48

Pepsi (PEP*)

Jim:   I want you to go with Pepsi… here is why… I think that the long term price war that has been going on with Coke (KO) and Pepsi domestically has finally run its course… I think Pepsi has got its raw costs down terrifically… Procter & Gamble (PG*) disappointed last time… Pepsi didn’t… Indra Nooyi is doing a darn good job… and I want to emphasize right now that I think that Pepsi is having a decent quarter… and I want you to pull the trigger right here…. Pepsi.

PG*

47.09

Procter & Gamble (PG*)

Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

HD

23.56

Home Depot (HD)

Jim:   No, I want you to hold Home Depot… I actually bought some today at $22... I sent out an alert for part of ActionAlertsPlus.com, my charitable trust… saying look this is terrific… I would start here and I would buy lower… that yield looks safe to me… I think the company is making a big turn… and I think that housing is about to bottom… I want to buy Home Depot as a great way to play housing… it is better than buying Menards (?), it is better than KB Home (KBH), it is better than buying Toll Brothers (TOL)… it is terrific.

LMT

69.03

Lockheed Martin (LMT)

Jim:   You know what, I think that defense stocks have been oversold because of Obama… I like Lockheed Martin, 3.5% yield… prefer to buy it when it gets to 4%… so let’s wait for a little bit lower… and then… pull the trigger.

DIS

18.16

Walt Disney Co. (DIS)

Jim:   You know Disney is just a good long-term buy, I mention in Jim Cramer's Stay Mad For Life, that there are very few stocks that you can give a kid when a kid is born so that they can follow along… Disney is one,
McDonald's (MCD*) is one… you are getting it down substantially from where it was… do I think it is worth the $16... absolutely… it has been to $16 to before… but I am going to salute Disney and Bob Eiger… I wish there was a little bit less advertising, we know that that is killing CBS Corporation (CBS).. but Disney is fine… long term… but of course we don’t believe in buy and forget… we believe in buy and homework… and I will change my mind if Disney has a catastrophic tremendous downturn in its fortunes.
