From Barron's 7-30-07:

"Whether the stock market is bending or in the process of breaking will determine whether investors will be able to recall with laughter last week's 5% drop in the indexes.

Even from these reduced heights, it's possible for market bulls to look back on the late-February scare with a satisfied smirk, as a short-lived bend in a long-lasting climb."

There are 2 stocks built for this current market. They feast on market volatility and are riding the secular growth in derivatives volumes.

symbol name last price % change open

  • CME
    Cme Group Inc.
  • $203.00
  • -3.49%
  • $211.32

From Barron's 7-30-07: "CME (recently merged with CBOT) handled double its average futures volume on Thursday. Rich Repetto of Sandler O'Neill notes that after a similar volume spike in February and on June 27, CME shares jumped 10% or so in the next two weeks. Huge July open interest suggests strong volumes for the rest of the quarter. Repetto has a price target above 600."

    Interactive Broke

  • $18.92

From Barron's 7-30-07: "Interactive Brokers is a discount broker and derivatives market maker, whose shares are 23% below their May 4 IPO price of $30. The stock valuation, a bit rich at the IPO price, is a reasonable 14 times 2008 profits. Interactive, interestingly, would benefit from an M&A slowdown -- it gets gaffed when traders use options to front-run unannounced deals."

A. Itron Inc. (ITRI).....This stock still
has legs ya know! especially after the
Obama building plan......see old post
below.

--------------------

If ya think electric is going to be a
big part of our future....check Itron
Inc.
(ITRI) out. They make the meters that
make sure the electric companies get
every
dime you owe them. They make water
meters also and they're wireless read
via
transmitters. Every new electric meter I
have seen over the last two years has
been a Itron meter....and I've seen
alot...that's all the power companies
are
using. A sneak infrastructure play this
is.

Itron Inc. (ITRI) last @ $50.13 +2.60
(+5.47%)

This stock is a BUY!
