Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

AFAM

36.65

Almost Family Inc. (AFAM)

Jim:   Yes.  It does (hang in there), because we have a major nurse shortage in this country, and that's the way to play it.  You know something... that is a great kind of stock to own in this environment.  I think it does well under an Obama president too.  You know what... I'm glad you brought that to my attention.  AFAM... that is a good idea.  How much do I learn from my callers and my emailers...  I learn more than you could ever believe.  AFAM... great call.

CAT

34.95

Caterpillar Inc. (CAT)

Jim:   I saw that stock under $40 today, yielding more than 4%.  I am sorry... analysts can downgrade it all they want...  I think the cycle against them is going to be long, because you have housing... remember, I think housing bottoms next year...  and you have minerals, and minerals have come down... but I am now being paid, like a lot of stocks...  Look, there are certain stocks that I think have gotten really cheap here.  You know that I said to buy Eaton (ETN) the other day...  That stock was up $4.  CAT yielded 5% coming in (at the start of yesterday's trading).  It yields 4.8% (after the close of yesterday's trading, after going up in the session).  Hey listen, I'm sorry...  I want to buy CAT...  Buy, buy, buy!...   I want to pull the trigger CAT...  I think it's great...

44.33

na

Citigroup (C)

Jim:   Look, I've got to tell you...  Citigroup is going to be saved by the government, and that's terrific... but look at this...  I've got Bank of America (BAC) only a dollar over where they did that big underwriting...  I've got Wells Fargo (WFC) rumored to be doing an under-$20, and I would like to buy that.  I've got BB & T Corp. (BBT)...   Hey listen... here's one... how about this one?...  Who the heck was driving Goldman Sachs (GS*) down into the mid-$80s today?...   have some of the highest-quality financials ever... the Fortress Four, plus Goldman Sachs, selling lower... than I ever thought we could get them.  Why do I need Citigroup?
