Cash on the books is so important, says Karen Finerman, because I think investors should select companies that have the financial strength not only to survive but thrive in this tough environment.

This portfolio is made up of companies that Finerman thinks are good vs. those that are not good in regards to their balance sheet.

A. Only a guess but the fate of the company
seems as though it is subject to the
outcome of a court ruling which could
very well be based political forces in
play . . . no different than how GM had
been manhandled when it was revamped by
the Obama administration. . . Thought
being that the puts represent someone
from one side or the other feeling
secure in their 'bet'.

Having said that, with a high debt
ratio, having such an extremely high run
up in stock price in the past 12 months
and good news baked in on the
possibility that a military contract may
be in hand, to short does not appear,
imo, to be wildly out of favorable
consideration. . . if only for a small
wager.
