MBI |
6.14 |
MBIA Inc. (MBI)
Jim: I went over
those earnings, and a lot of the "plus"
in those earnings I did not think was
actual... I'm not saying that they're
fibbing... I am saying that there
was a credit default swap gain that I
don't like to believe in as an earnings
thing... and I also feel that the
actual earnings power of this company
has been impaired... I do not want to
buy it. As a matter of fact, sell,
sell, sell!

MELI |
25.60 |
Mercadolibre, Inc. (MELI)
Jim: This is the eBay (EBAY)
of Latin America... I think that
business is making a comeback.
However, I'd rather own the EBAY of
America... They've got new
management. I think Skype is going
to be a good (stock spinoff) offering,
and I also think that PayPal (which EBAY
owns) is worth the price of the company.
So let's
pull the trigger, EBAY,
not MELI.

BMO |
37.36 |
Bank of Montreal (BMO)
Jim: Oh, my friend...
you have now gone into the area of banks
that I like a ton, and that is the
Canadian banks... There's a lot of
controversy. I read a nice piece
(i.e., newspaper/magazine article) by
Henry Kravitz's wife, the other day...
about the Canadian banks... it wasn't
more regulation that did it... I
actually disagree. I think that
the environment is so stern there, that
these banks didn't screw up. I
like BMO. I want to buy it here.
I want to
pull the trigger.

VZ |
30.40 |
Verizon
(VZ)
Jim: I like Verizon!
I like Ivan Seidenberg... I have
to tell you, this stock has become a
professional bow-wow... it's beginning
to irritate me. It's been stuck at
$30. It reminds me of a bond...
I have faith... I believe
you can get paid that dividend to wait
for a turn, and I want to
pull the trigger,
Verizon!

NAT |

Nordic American Tanker (NAT)
Jim: Nordic American
Tanker just filed a deal (i.e., a
secondary stock offering)... You'll get
that stock for 3 points lower...
