ICXT |
7.80 |
ICx Technologies, Inc. (ICXT)
Jim: Kind of an
interesting defense speculation play, up
on a bit of a spike. How about if it
comes down, we
pull the trigger?...
|
|
 |
UPL |
33.35 |
Ultra Petroleum (UPL)
Jim: Alright,
long-term... I'm glad you used that
term... because short-term, with natural
gas down to two year lows, and I think
penetrating the four dollar level, I
know that it's going to be rough
sledding for Michael Watford and UPL...
That is a company, by the way, that does
need relaxed drilling restrictions,
because of a particular kind of
animal... but I'm sure Obama is going to
try to protect... that Bush steps on at
night... Here's the deal... I think UPL
is okay long term, because it's got the
lowest finding costs... even lower than
Equitable Resources Inc.
(EQT)...
but, short-term, the numbers are
probably going to prove to be dicey,
because of the huge decline, through the
five dollar level, I think, of natural
gas.

GLW |
8.79 |
Corning Inc. (GLW)
Jim: You know what,
it reminds me of 2002 to 2003, when
Corning was probably the most beaten
down stock, other than
Alcatel-Lucent (ALU)...
boy, was that a loser... and
Qwest (Q).
I bought this is part of a field bet...
I talk about the idea of buying this
stock low... it's got great
management... it's got two different
divisions... remember, it's got a fiber
business... it's got a glass business,
and it's linked to LCD, and it's got a
fiber business, that's linked to Cramer
fave
Verizon
(VZ)...
Ivan Seidenberg, listen up... Here's the
problem... here's the problem... but
quarters have been lowered and lowered
and lowered and lowered... but I think
that the stock is at rock bottom here.
First time... first time, long time...
first time I am recommending GLW right
here, right now... yes... And I have
been really afraid of that stock for a
long time. That's a big change for me,
okay...

HK |
15.77 |
Petrohawk Energy Corp. (HK)
Jim: Yes they are
(out of favor), but I feel like that one
day these are going to come roaring
back... but, as I told the Ultra
Petroleum caller, and
Ultra Petroleum (UPL),
by the way, has a better product
portfolio than HK... this group is under
a severe amount of pressure and will
remain so, because the price of natural
gas is going down, not up. So, be
prepared for a house of pain until that
reverses. So I cannot recommend
buying... don't buy, don't buy.
