GFIG
Gfi Group Inc - $9.15
- +3.16%
- $8.87
Analysts have been cutting their estimates. After a bounce late last week, the stock was trading near 12. That's about 11.8 times projected 2008 earnings, compared with 13.6 times for rival BGC Partners (BGCP) and 12.2 times for the sector. Deutsche Bank analyst Rob Rutschow says GFI was able to retain key personnel and noted how CDS trading continues to grow among financial firms, as does GFI's non-CDS revenue. His price target on the stock: 22.

CNX
Cons Energy Inc - $78.44
- -3.57%
- $80.75
"Energy stocks that have gone up the most during the current oil rally will probably get hit the hardest," Bespoke analysts note. With gains of between 120% and 158% since January 2007, stocks like Consol Energy (CNX), National Oilwell Varco (NOV), Range Resources (RRC) and Hess (HES) have milked the most from this oil gush, and might have the most to lose when oil subsides.

Natl Oilwell Varc - $75.77
