The Celebrity Investor
I believe you will see Turkcell use its cash ($1 per share) to increase its presence throughout the region. With a market cap of just over $11.6 billion, Turkcell is a ripe takeover pick. There will be consolidation in the industry in the future, and companies like Turkcell make attractive targets.
I do not own Turkcell; I have followed the stock for a couple of years and have missed several buying opportunities. On a pullback, I will be a buyer. I do believe that this is a good buy long term right here.Coal Takeovers
A month ago I recommended Consol Energy (CNX) as a play on coal, and for the relative value it holds as a cheap alternative to high natural gas prices. Since then, the stock has risen more than 9.5%. An international consortium of utilities and coal companies will join the U.S. government to build FutureGen, billed as the world's cleanest-burning coal plant. With coal becoming environmentally more friendly and with a cold winter upon us, Consol Energy still has legs. I waited on a dip that did not come and missed out on Consol Energy; if you hold Consol Energy shares, I would definitely keep them here. Get Jim Cramer's picks for 2006.TheStreet Premium Services
