Jim:    Before we get to Mad Mail we have a bit of homework to catch up on… last Friday, Brock from California asked about CardioNet, Inc. (BEAT)… BEAT is a medical device company, they are the industry leader, 80% share in mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry systems… Imgot is said to identify irregular activity of the heart, like fast, slow, or irregular heartbeats… much better than traditional heart monitors… but it has been weak because of fears of reimbursement cuts from the government… back in April, Jeffries initiated on the stock with an under perform… that is right, they said sell… saying that channel checks indicated a reimbursement rate cut for Imgot in 2009... last Tuesday the company announced that its 2009 reimbursement rate was unchanged from what it was last year… that caused a pop in the stock… the stock has pulled back a bit as there is another reimbursement rate decision coming up from CMS as early as July… and Jeffries expects a reimbursement rate cut there as well… man, I have got to stay away from this thing… too many reimbursement cuts.

Also, we recommended
Cougar Biotechnology, Inc. (CGRB) on 3/13/09... that is right March 13th at $27.27, it was one of our spec plays… it was a spec bio-tech play, these were the guys who had that Peratrone, that prostate cancer treatment that was going thru phase 3 trial… hey, better to be lucky than good… on Friday, Cougar got a $43 share bid from Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)… the stock is trading at $42.74, that is a 54% gain from spec Friday… I do not want you to be a pig… bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered… that is a huge gain… I command you to take it.

'Mad Mail'

First Niagara Financial Group Inc. (FNFG)

Q:      Jim,
You have been recommending some of the regional bank stocks including First Niagara. I recall you stating in the past that it is important to invest in sectors that are favored by the institutional investors. Almost every opinion voiced by commentators and advisors seem to bash regional banks because of their exposure to commercial real estate. First Niagara seems to be slowly going down. What is it going to take to reverse this trend?
Don

Jim:    Don, there will be many failed banks coming up, many, many… what is going to happen… and we are going to have Sheila Bair on this show tomorrow, she is our fave from the FDIC… you are going to see banks that are well capitalized like First Niagara being able to buy other banks that get in trouble… that is why I like FNFG, it reminds me very much of some of the banks like Fleet that I invested in in the late ‘80’s.

Pfizer (PFE)

Q:      I started purchasing Pfizer early this year because of the acquisition of Wyeth. With the acquisition it was said that Pfizer would be able to see some great profits and returns from the deal. Now with healthcare and pharma being on Obama’s hit list, how could this impact PFE’s stock and will it? Thank you for your time and a great big Army BOOYAH!!
Jerome

Jim:    Hey, thank you for serving… and let’s remember Memorial Day… and remember whey we celebrate… and to say that I just do not think that Pfizer has anything going for it… I do not think the merger is going to matter… I think that it is a dead weight stock, and I do not want you buying Pfizer.
