Summary of the bullish and bearish positions mentioned in the February 23rd, 2007 Barron's.

-
ANF
Abercrombie & Fit - $39.93
- -0.10%
- $40.78
The company's stock could top $100 within a year, climbing by a third. Abercrombie's new Gilly Hicks lingerie chain looks promising, joining the hugely popular Hollister.

-
CELG
Celgene Corporati - $55.45
- +0.87%
- $54.94
Celgene's earnings-growth pace could keep rising -- to 50% -- on more drug triumphs, as could the high (some say too high) 24 multiple on its stock. But at 54 now, it may be worth 20% more.

-
ZURN.VX
Zurich Finl Svcs - $216.40
- -2.21%
- $223.00
If Zurich Financial Services stays on course to deliver strong earnings and high returns on equity, its shares, now 317 Swiss francs, could rally 25% or more.

-
MRVL
Marvell Technolog - $15.42
- -1.34%
- $15.64
Marvell shares could double in two years if it fixes its options mess, controls costs and gets a 3G-capable chip to market.

-
DIS
Walt Disney-disne - $30.22
- -0.43%
- $30.23
For the price of a Disney share, too, an investor effectively buys access to a braintrust probably unrivaled in American business. Apple's Steve Jobs, a Pixar founder, is Disney's largest shareholder, with 7% of the float. Fellow owner Warren Buffett no doubt picks up the phone for Iger. Procter & Gamble's former CEO, John Pepper, with all the consumer-product knowledge one could want, chairs Disney's board.

-
CROX
Crocs - $4.87
- -4.88%
- $5.12
We're neutral now, and think investors should cover their short positions and take a walk. The stock sells today for only nine times analysts' '08 earnings estimate of around $2.70 a share, and the shoes are still the rage among soccer moms and nurses, suggesting the stock might not drop much lower from here, at least in the near term.

-
WYE
Wyeth - $48.54
- 0.00%
- $N/A
In her estimation, Wyeth's stock price suggests that investors do not appreciate the value of these assets. At $40, Rubin contends, investors are effectively "getting the pipeline for free." Her analysis suggests that Wyeth's vaccines, biologics (biotechnology drugs) and OTC assets are worth about $35, or about 90% of the stock price. By 2012, Rubin expects biologics and vaccines to account for about 70% of Wyeth's earnings. She raised her investment rating on the stock to Overweight from Equal Weight, and upped her one-year price target to $48 from $46.
