Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

OTTR

22.97

Otter Tail Corp. (OTTR)

Jim:   No, remember, we took that to a sell... we had a really great buy, and then we've decided to sell, sell, sell... after we decided that the windmill craze had gotten a little too heated... we took that one off for a nice gain and we never looked back...

GCI

7.77

Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI)

Jim:   No, no... GCI is a total red flag. That dividend is a total, utter red flag. I don't want... This is a coach's challenge, played by Cramer... That is not going to hold up with that 20% yield. I don't want to own any... I repeat... I don't want to own any newspapers whatsoever... sell, sell, sell... They are toxic!

PRU

30.74

Prudential (PRU)

Jim:   I'm not recommending any insurance company anymore, other than Travelers (TRV), and maybe Chubb (CB)... Why? Because all these other guys, they feel... I think all these other guys need help from that guy and this guy and that guy and the United States government... Not TRV. They're clean, they're good. Not CB, they're well-run...

Apple (AAPL)

Jim:   I, like everybody else's concern... maybe founded, maybe unfounded rumors... about Jobs' (CEO's) health... Look, $23 billion in cash, a good product portfolio, but Mac sales are weak... I am not a buyer of AAPL... I am not a buyer of AAPL. I hate to end on that negative note...
