Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

IRE

19.70

The Bank of Ireland (IRE)

Jim:   Alright, I've been doing some work with the Irish Banks, courtesy of some friends that I have in the banking business, and you know what?  I'll recommend this and the Allied Irish (AIB)... By the way, the Allied Irish is offering a 1.8% CD, 1 year guaranteed by the Irish government, and I think it's the best piece of paper out there right now.  I kid you not.

AIB

9.42

Allied Irish Banks plc (AIB)

AIB

OMN

6.48

OMNOVA Solutions Inc. (OMN)

Jim:   You know what?  I don't know why it did (go up 20% today), so I could make up something and be like a lot of the stooges I see on TV, or I could admit it that I don't know the answer, and I have to come back... don't buy, don't buy... and that's exactly what we're going to do... we're going to come back... memo to staff... Omnova... 

F

7.21

Ford (F)

Jim:   We're big believers in Ford, but as my friend, Matt Horweig has told me over and over again, it's FORD Preferred (F-PS), Ford Preferred... which has done much better than the common (stock), and I am reiterating that I like the Ford Preferred and I don't want you to own the common stock.

F-PS

30.12

FORD Preferred - Capital Trust II (F-PS)

F-PS

VECO

23.32

Veeco Instruments Inc. (VECO)

Jim:   Yeah, but it's part of the internet tsunami and the forecast is for sunny skies... even though it's for a tsunami...  You hold onto VECO!

KR

20.64

Kroger Co. (KR)

Jim:   Bob... it's worst of breed!  I am going to have to say absolutely not!  It's unlikely to grow...  I'd rather buy Whole Foods Market Inc. (WFMI) right here in a march...  I'll tell you, I will spot you 7 points, and I still think Whole Foods gets to $30 faster... and you know what?  I think that's the current line on Whole Foods...  Look, Whole Foods at $30 today.  I am actually cheating him.  Let's make it $33 and I'll spot you $10.

WFMI

30.49

Whole Foods Market Inc. (WFMI)

WFMI

HES

53.46

Hess Corporation (HES)

Jim:   Mediocre.  International corporation.  You want that international exposure, you want a little yield?  How about I throw in Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO) at you, because right now the refining cycle's going your way... or I'll hit you with Chevron Corp. (CVX*), new CEO, just as good as the last one.  I own that for ActionAlertsPlus.com, and I'd buy some more right here.

MRO

31.90
