Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

CF

46.64

CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (CF)

Jim:   No...  I want you to sell it on strength... sell, sell, sell!...  If you want to play fertilizer, the name is Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNH), because it's got that yield.  We need to be buoyed by that, because I don't like the fertilizer stocks...  although they are down so much now, since I haven't liked them, and I'm starting to reconsider.

TNH

87.94

Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNH)

See CF comments above for:
TNH

GNTX

7.19

Gentex Corp. (GNTX)

Jim:   Alright, I'm with you on this.  This is one of those automotive plays that has more than just automotive... that has been brought solo, that I think is a classic example of a stock that's trading so close to its cash, that I can't resist it anymore.  I say pull the trigger... I say buy.

Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

STI

22.45

SunTrust Banks Inc. (STI)

Jim:   No!...   Keep thinking!...  Don't pull the trigger!  Sell, sell, sell!...  Here's why...  Because STI did not distinguish itself during this period.  This is not the old SunTrust.  This is the big, roll the dice, risk-taking STI.  I ought to get a big pair of dice out here and roll them, and that's the SunTrust board room.  No, no, no, no...  And the banking group, by the way...  can we just do without the banking group for a couple of days...  don't buy, don't buy...   Because, for instance, well, let's just say that Wells Fargo (WFC) is down at $21.  It broke the print price...  By the way, the big short squeeze today was in the...  the so-called Geithner alley...  was in the oil stocks, not the financials, which I find to be a tad worrisome.

CNX

20.80

CONSOL Energy Inc. (CNX)

Jim:   I don't think that should short the coal stocks down here (as caller indicated he was doing with CNX), because that requires...  Remember, China is still importing coal.  These stocks represent like they're going bankrupt... and they're not going to go bankrupt.  I don't support shorting that stock or that group down here.  It's just too low.

DEO

51.96

Diageo plc (DEO)

Jim:   This stock was at $50 today, and I've got to tell you, this is another stock that has gotten ridiculously cheap!...  We're talking about Johnnie Walker Black...  It yields 5.6%.  Enough is enough!  We're pulling the trigger on DEO!
