Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

VMI

63.06

Valmont Industries, Inc. (VMI)

Jim:   This is a great conglomerate with a lot of different businesses… irrigation, wind energy, it is really kind of a pastiche if not a mosaic of great American industry… I want you to hold onto it… I see great things happening… I feel terrible that I did not pull the trigger in this stock, when it was in the trough… you have got a good one, and congratulations on getting in the game… you have got your whole life ahead of you. … and let’s hold onto some Valmont, you will do fine.

AUY

7.50

Yamana Gold Inc. (AUY)

Jim:   No, take two aspirin, I will talk to you in the morning… I do not like Yamana… if you want to own a gold stock I am going to recommend Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM), or Eldorado Gold Corp. (EGO).. how well do I know that… however, I would prefer you to own streetTRACKS Gold Shares (GLD), again, it is only as a hedge… as I am not recommending the gold stocks other than a piece of a larger portfolio.

AEM

45.53

Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM)

CREE

26.06

Cree (CREE)

Jim:   You know I saw it, I was looking at the charts this weekend, I have them hand delivered to my house on Saturday mornings because I am a really exciting guy… and I cannot believe how Cree has ramped as part of an overall Best Buy (BBY), Texas Instruments (TXN), Corning Inc. (GLW) belief that things have gotten better...  I do not think that you should hold onto Cree… I want to take profits.   Sell, sell, sell!...


 

MMC

21.26

Marsh & Mclennan (MMC)

Jim:   If you like Marsh Mac… and I know that the chart is good, but if you like Marsh Mac I have to urge you, urge you in no uncertain terms to buy Aon Corporation (AOC) is a much, much better company than Marsh Mac… it has got a fabulous, I am not just saying this because my friend Rob Brado works there… I am telling you that Aon is the best insurance broker in the world… that is the one to pull the trigger on right here… and I would sell MMC...  Sell, sell, sell!...

AOC

41.71

Aon Corporation (AOC)

AOC


RAI

39.47

Reynolds American Inc. (RAI)

Jim:   No, no, no… tomorrow we are going to get Altria (MO*) numbers… I have a feeling, as I talk to Sid a lot, Sid is my newsstand guy… that cigarettes are down, people aren’t buying… paying $8 for a pack not that we should be buying them anyway… we are not in favor of cigarettes here.. but I think that I would be concerned… let those stocks come in… because I think that when we see the $8 price point, we are going to see a dramatic decline in smoking in this country… so I am… Sell, sell, sell!...

MO

16.73

Altria (MO)
