EJ

5.19

E-House (China) Holdings Limited (EJ)

No, I'm not going to go there... I'm not going to go there.  I think that's too...  I mean, look, there's no such thing as being too speculative when you're a younger guy (i.e., the caller was a UConn student), so I don't mind that, but we're not going to speculate in China.  We need to see that Baltic Dry Index go up.  It goes down every day.  That will be a precursor to a turn in China.  I'd rather... there are so many great American stocks that are down low right now.  I'd rather see you speculate in a Motorola Inc. (MOT) than an EJ, and I'm not that big a fan of MOT... So what I'm saying is, that's too dangerous for me.

MOT

5.61

Motorola Inc. (MOT)

GRMN

24.52

Garmin Ltd. (GRMN)

You didn't listen to me!  You know that I had a sell, sell, sell on that for a whole year.  Alright, listen now, okay...  GRMN will talk a big game going into Christmas, alright... They'll say, listen, we've got all these products... so maybe you get it back to $32-33, and then sell, sell, sell, sell, sell...  This turned out to be a flash in the pan... FITP...

Price target to sell:  $32.00 - $33.00

KEG

6.29

Key Energy Services Inc. (KEG)

Well look, it's a cheap stock.  There's no denying it... it's a cheap stock.  And just anything connected with wildcatting is... you know what...  I will tell you this... Look, I'd rather have you buy a ConocoPhillips (COP)...  What does COP yield right now, after this decline?  COP yields 3.6%.  You buy 500 COP shares... 100 every half a point (0.5%) yield down, and I think you'll do better than that one... so I'm saying COP, yes... yours, no.

CBS

8.80

CBS Corporation (CBS)

CBS, the radio, TV play... I want to know more about the $14 million midnight writedown taken on Friday.  I want to know more about the National Amusement ownership stake, from Sumner Redstone.  Until I find out more about it, all I can say is, that stock is just a definitively wrong stock for this environment.   CVS (CVS), the drugstore, is fabulous.
