APL

6.33

Atlas Pipeline Partners LP (APL)

Jim:   Too good to be true. It is just too good to be true (i.e., its dividend yield of 55%). I've got to tell you, I have retreated, and have decided, really... I am just focusing on EPD and then old Cramer-fave, Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP), which is down... and I think that we should just buy KMP... I don't even want to outthink it anymore... I mean, a lot of these pipeline companies... the one that I have the best feel about is KMP... So why should I even... so I'm not even going beyond it anymore, because this world has gotten so strange, that if you have any leverage to the actual natural gas price, you're going lower.

MO*

15.21

Altria (MO*)

Jim:   I don't understand Altria... I mean, it was upgraded today, in a valuation play... It yields 8.5%. Do you know that the yield is the highest it's been since people felt that it was going to go out of business?... That's ridiculous. Altria is so inexpensive... I own it for ActionAlertsPlus.com, my charitable trust... I can't buy it, because it was just mentioned, and I own a lot of it, but I urge people who don't mind the political incorrect nature of owning a tobacco company, to buy MO. And don't worry, I give the D.A.R.E. speech every year, so I am a believer... and, by the way, I think D.A.R.E. is right... some people say it's okay to have moderate... Uh uh... D.A.R.E. is right.

BDX

66.52

Becton Dickinson & Co. (BDX)

Jim:   I think this is one of the few... that is medical equipment... that is a big beneficiary of resin coming down... it won't be until next quarter... I cannot believe, by the way... Here's a twofer... that Beckman Coulter (BEC) has just been slaughtered... that's on big medical equipment. People don't like that. But I think BDX is one of those companies that I really like, right here, right now. And I think you are absolutely right to be buying. As stocks get lower, some of them do get cheaper, and BDX is one of them.

BEC
