BLUD
Immucor - $18.77
- -0.16%
- $18.69
From Jan. 19 2009 - “It’s a great stock that traded 8 million shares on Friday when it usually trades 1 million shares,” explains Joe Terranova. “It just moved from the S&P small cap to the mid cap index. And it’s not that reliant on credit.” “And it could be a takeover target,” adds Melissa Lee who’s filling in for Dylan Ratigan. “Ontop of that, they raised their 2009 EPS forecast,” which in this economy isn't so easy to do!

CTV
Commscope Inc - $26.97
- -4.16%
- $27.90
From Jan. 12 2009 - “This stock has been absolutely annihilated,” says Karen Finerman. “Valuations are currently lower than they’ve been in many, many moons. Also they’ve been able to restructure debt so they have a lot of liquidity. On top of that, they have some interesting holders and they have insider buying."

BWA
Borg Warner Inc - $30.91
- -0.03%
- $30.75
From March 16 2009 - “This was a great story a year and a half ago and now it’s gotten crushed with the rest of the sector,” Adami says. “But if you think the auto industry is going to flourish at some point, in some country, BWA fits the bill." Adami particularly likes that the firm is developing green technology for the industry which he thinks will only make them more valuable in the years ahead -- and he's impressed that they have a backlog of “tremendous proportion compared to their market cap.” “They were a rising star 18 months ago and I believe they will be again,” he says.
