Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

IR

20.40

Ingersoll-Rand (IR)

Jim:   Listen sunshine, I bought IR in the teens, and I schnitzeled a little profit there for ActionAlertsPlus.com, my charitable trust when it got to $22... far it from me to tell you to buy it right here at $20... I say $18, $17 is the entry point… if you buy it higher than that you are going to be disavowed by Cramerica, and Cramericans everywhere.

PNRA

50.86

Panera Bread Co. (PNRA)

Jim:   I have been nonplused, which actually means confused not negative, about Panera… I think that it is the chartists who have said that the thing looks like Mt. Everest, if not K2 the second largest mountain in the world… I disagree… I see the restaurants making a come back here… represented initially by, honest to God I am not kidding, and I like their burgers... Jack in the Box Inc. (JACK), which had good numbers…
McDonald's (MCD*) which is starting to rally… and Buffalo Wild Wings Inc. (BWLD), some like them hot… and Cheesecake Factory (CAKE), so I think we are okay… I want to double down Panera… I know that the chart looks bad, but you know what, the chart of CLF looked great at $28, and what happened there…

JACK

23.80

CLF

22.01

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (CLF)

See PNRA comments above for:
CLF

BMI

35.36

Badger Meter Inc. (BMI)

Jim:   I think that Badger Meter is just a very quiet nice flow control meter measure… but let me tell you… if you want to get into the business of flow control, if you want to get into the business of monitoring natural gas and where it goes in the turbines, which is the big industrial side not the residential side… I am begging you right here to buy a new ActionAlertsPlus name, I think that you buy Emerson Electric (EMR) which is just an accidentally juicy B.I.G. high yield… that is for you.


EMR

33.93

Emerson Electric (EMR)

See BMI comments above for:
EMR

DOW

16.52

Dow Chemical Co. (DOW)

Jim:   Yesterday I should have told people to buy it… but I was saying, no, no lets be pricey, lets go to $15 where the equity offering did… everyone tells me that I have to take Liveris off of the wall of shame, I will take it off the wall of shame if it gets to $20... but right now he is still in the penalty box because he wrecked the balance sheet… but I think that you are onto something, I think that Dow is okay here… natural gas price, that is the biggest raw cost, sometimes they have more than $20b bill, is at $4... they sold the Morton Salt division for about $8b… they rang the register on some equity… I think that you are fine.


ZOLT

7.37

Zoltek Companies Inc. (ZOLT)

Jim:   I rang the register Zoltek in the $20’s… listen to me, I know of where I speak, I do not like that company… I do not think that you want to be in the composite business.. I think that if you really want to be crazy about composites, oh and I was right to not be in this one… Owens Corning (OC), better composite business… am I crazy about it, ex-nay… but that is the one that you want to be in if you have a thing about composites.

OC

13.85

Owens Corning (OC)

OC
