Here are a few of the questions Jim responded to:
- Halliburton (HAL) - Get Report has been a great core position to trade around the last couple of weeks. It is obviously supported around the $35 mark (I assume via the buyback). You can't ask for more than a $35 stock that trades in rapid 5% ranges to trade around. Anyone else riding a stock in and out as suggested on Tuesday's "Mad Money"?
- I have written on this site that I think it would make sense for Sears Holdings (SHLD) to purchase Rite Aid (RAD) - Get Report. Iam doubtful that this would happen, but have you ever seen a major retailer with a lower price-to-sales ratio than a combined Sears/Rite Aid? I think there would be other reasons this combination would make sense. But what are your thoughts?
- Given the obvious public relations that AT&T (T) - Get Report is going to get in the short term with the iPhone and the potential for subscribers jumping ship, is this a real needle mover for AT&T?
- I'm not much of a "chartist," but I like the way Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) - Get Report has set up. Given its run recently and the bull market in steel-related stocks, do we back up the truck on this one?
- We saw that defensive growth stocks like Coca-Cola (KO) - Get Report, Procter & Gamble (PG) - Get Report and Colgate-Palmolive (CL) - Get Report did well a few days ago while the bull sectors pulled back. Is this a long-term bearish sign or is it just typical short-term impatience by the market?
- I guess I may also consider Amazon (AMZN) - Get Report one of the anointed. I know it is part of the "Four Horsemen," but it seems to be the most bullet-proof or maybe just least volatile. Is it just a case that given the current price it is just easy to trade around? Or is it anointed?
- On "Mad Money," you talk about selling Crocs (CROX) - Get Report when it gets four analysts covering the stock. I was trying to answer another question and pulled up the analyst recommendations on fidelity.com and it shows seven analyst recommendations for Crocs. What am I missing? I used my own advice and went to the Crocs' Web site and they don't have a list of analysts that cover the stock.
- Thanks for the reply forwarding the info on the Fed ease stocks to RealMoney.com you listed. I expected Downey Financial (DSL) - Get Report to be on the list, however it was not mentioned as a beneficiary. Will the Fed ease not help Downey Financial as well?
