Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

WMT*

50.45

Wal-Mart (WMT*)

Jim:   Alright, I have to admit, in pure candor here, I own it for ActionAlertsPlus.com, my charitable trust...about two or three hours ago I sent out a bulletin taking a little profit in Wal-Mart, why… because I think Wal-Mart up a couple of bucks is going to stall here, why… people like recovery stocks… they suddenly like
Macy's (M) more, they like J. C. Penney (JCP) more, they like Nordstrom Inc. (JWN) more, they like Kohl's (KSS) more… I think the stock marks time, even though I like it long term.

DNDN

22.94

Dendreon Corp. (DNDN)

Jim:   I am not qualified to answer Dendreon… because the stock was just up 15 points… I have got to tell you, this seems like a short squeeze to me… I am a big believer in taking profits when I see a short squeeze… so I am going to recommend taking profits.

JEC

40.00

Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. (JEC)

Jim:   I was surprised, you know Jacobs Engineering holds up pretty well even though a lot of people disappointed by that quarter… I saw Chicago Bridge & Iron (CBI) have a good quarter the other day, I am soured somewhat by infrastructure plays… why… because they seem to really need just very much some clarity about cap-n-trade… they need some clarity about where oil is going… so I am neutral… I am don’t buy, don’t buy.

Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

NUE

38.62

Nucor (NUE)

Jim:   I am worried about the steels… here is why, "letter X" the other day, United States Steel Corp. (X), John Syrma reported a number that was really just flat out awful… and then they did a secondary, and the secondary didn’t go all that well… that makes me concerned about the steel companies… I think that Nucor has got the best product number profile… however, I do not think that it is going to do well… I talked to the wonderful and fabulous, Erin Burnett, today about appliance sales going up… but that is cold-rolled steel… I think that Nucor, really all is does is buy time to actually go down a little… I am not a buyer.

 

X

25.50

United States Steel Corp. (X)

See NUE comments above for:
X

ATVI

10.73

Activision Blizzard Inc. (ATVI)

Jim:   No, we are not a big buyer of that one, or Electronic Arts (ERTS), or any of those companies… we think that if you have to be in that business, you own GameStop (GME).

GME

GameStop Corp. (GME)

CNQ

46.30

Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ)

Jim:   Canadian Natural Resources is doing a deal… and I do not care for… this is the oil and gas play… I have been very adamant that I am a buyer of ConocoPhillips (COP*) and I am a buyer of BP plc (BP*)… I like both of those… I would swap out of yours and go into mine.

COP*

41.51

ConocoPhillips (COP*)
