Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

TXN

17.32

Texas Instruments (TXN)

Jim:   Alright, I always like to wait until I hear the conference call… Texas Instruments after close reported what looks to be a very good number… but more important, apropos of what I just described with my fathers gift warp business and inventory… inventories are low… you know that I like the semi-conductors they were down 4.5% today… I think that you probably want to pull the trigger… but, I would be sentenced to hedge fund hiatus if I did not say that I need to listen to the conference call first.

AAI

5.32

AirTran Holdings Inc. (AAI)

Jim:   I want you to ring the register my friend… you happen to have one of the few, I was looking at the 52 week highs over the weekend… what the heck AirTran is over there… we never recommend airlines on this show… why do we do that… because we actually like to make people money, not lose them money… I want you to ring the register AirTran.

T

25.29

AT&T (T)

Jim:   You know I saw that stock back down there again to $25.. and my mouth was watering, I like that stock that down at $25... more than I like
Verizon (VZ) at $31... I think AT&T is cheaper, I think that the company is really into an explosive ramp… really understands iPhone… you get that great yield, I think that the yield will be boosted… I say pull the trigger… AT&T.

Price target to buy:  $25.00

Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

MSFT

18.61

Microsoft (MSFT)

Jim:   No, you have held it for… no, I should not say that because it doesn’t matter how long you held it… nor does it matter where you bought it… what matters is where it is going to… I think that Microsoft can trend higher, it is not my favorite… nor is Intel (INTC)… I prefer Hewlett-Packard (HPQ*)… I do not have any catalysts that are going to get Microsoft moving that much… but I want you to wait until at least $20 or $22... because technology is trading well here… and I don’t want you to just ring the register and say goodbye.

Price target to sell MSFT:  $20.00 - $22.00

INTC

15.00

Intel (INTC)

See MSFT comments above for:
INTC

HPQ*

34.68

Hewlett-Packard (HPQ*)

See MSFT comments above for:
HPQ*


 

PCU

19.10

Southern Copper Corp. (PCU)

Jim:   I have been looking at PCU and thinking boy that stock has just made a great move… but on a pullback I like PCU… I think that copper stocks are going to have a much deserved pullback… and you want to be a buyer not a seller.

JOYG

22.68

Joy Global (JOYG)

Jim:   I am surprised that once again as soon as you get a serious downturn this stock goes down 10% in a heartbeat… it remains, unfortunately, a trading vehicle… that is what we have called it at the hedge fund… in other words it tends to go up or down 10% to 15% in exaggerated moves… I do not want to buy it until it is under $20... and under $20 I feel like I can give you some caution that it will be less of a trade and more of an investment… but my bias is to own it not to sell it.

Price target to buy:  Under $20.00
