A: It seems like every move is exaggerated at this point. I love industrials and basic
materials in the long term; eventually China, India and other developing countries will
need to start building again to support their growth. Short term, who knows. These
corrections make timing crucial. Stocks like AAON and DHR are worth a look I think. more - Post your own answer

Yesterday was fairly depressing as the market sank relentlessly, however it was
on light volume so hopefully it was blip rather than a trend. Any thoughts on
the direction the market will take today or on the overall health of the
economy? -

Good Morning, Everyone. My name is David MacDougall and I am an investment
analyst with TheStreet.com Ratings. I will be here all day to help answer your
questions. We had a very positive day yesterday after the construction numbers
came in much ahead of expectations. Even with GM heading to bankruptcy court the
bulls seem to be in control. What do you think about the direction this morning?
Will there be profit taking or can we extend the gains? -

huge foreclosure number for April may weigh on the market this morning. Retail
data also comes out later today. Will we be able to keep the gains coming or are
we going to face a correction with this new economic data? -

A: We have BZH rated as a SELL. It has a grade of D-. The volatility in this stock is killing
the rating. It has also had negative earning for well over 2 years at this point. It seems
like a pretty risky stock with limited upside. A sell sounds like the right move. Higher
quality builders like Pulte may be a better bet. more - Post your own answer

Good morning, everyone! My name is Dave MacDougall and I’m an investment
analyst with TheStreet.com Ratings. I will be here all day to help answer your
questions. This should be another exciting day as JP Morgan beat earnings
estimates. On the heels of Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs this seems like some
pretty good news for financial stocks. However, the homebuilding numbers came in
this morning much lower than expected in both new housing starts and
applications. Do you think the housing numbers will weigh on the market? Or,
will the optimism from the financials lead to another positive day? -

Good morning everyone! My name is David MacDougall and I am an investment
analyst with TheStreet.com Ratings. I will be here all day to help answer your
questions. We are coming off a fairly solid day, but it is looking like the jobs
numbers coming out this week are going to be worse than expected. APOL beat
earnings yesterday. It’s looking like more people are opting for more
education in this economy. How do you think consumer stocks will reacts to the
jobs worries? -

answer your questions. Futures are looking higher this morning after the late

A: I think you can look no further than interest margins to see that banks have more earning
power now than they did just a few months ago. For most banks this is their key metric.
And with many of their weaker competitors taken out of the picture (e.g. Wachovia, Wamu,
Countrywide, Indymac) the remaining banks can be even more profitable because they are not
bidding for deposits against these former institutions. Add to this the funds outflow from
equities which is now in bank accounts. The result is a large cheap supply of deposits and
wide interest spreads. I'm bullish on financials and am playing them through the leveraged
ETFs. DB more - Post your own answer

Good morning Everyone! My name is David MacDougall and I am an investment
analyst with TheStreet.com Ratings. I will be here all day to answer your
questions. Futures are pointing lower and overseas markets are down, so this
could be another brutal day. Also Merck and Schering-Plough have announced a $41
billion merger. Any thoughts on this deal? Could this be a positive sign that
businesses are willing to engaging in these sorts of transactions? -

Mroil asked: When economy recovers (1-10 years from now;)
what in your opinion would be the leading sectors to take us
out of this hole?
Answer: Good question. The economy has really taken command of the public
discourse lately. However, before everything really went south last fall there
was one topic that was really getting a lot of heat in the media. That, of
course, was the environment. With the aims of the stimulus package focusing on
“green-collar” jobs I could see energy related stocks getting some juice in
the coming years. That can span several sectors too. Any company involved in
solar tech or energy cell technology would be worth some serious consideration,
as well as utilities that are embracing smart-grid technology and energy
companies that are diversifying away from fossil fuels. I recently wrote about
Xcel Energy, which is currently working with smart-grid tech in Colorado. I see
green technology helping to push the economy forward. -
