Brazilian raw materials company acts like a US company. Buy in a range of $30 to $34. Look for a big purchase to intensify their market position after a new offering in June. They are rumored to be looking at buying Freeport Mcmoran or Rio Tinto. The earthquake in China will alone make for a great end of the year due to higher steel prices. I'm adding more after the offering hits.

SLB is doing great with high oil pirces. It may be near a sell point now, but it should be good to buy when oil drops again around the elections. This is a great peak and valley stock. Sell over $120, and buy again in the $80 range.

Great buy in the mid $30 range. Took a huge hit earlier this year, and has a boatload of new contracts that will squeeze nice profits the next two quarters.

Take a chance under $10, and you may get rewarded well in the next two quarters. You also may still lose a lot. They have some great new products and noone else has the same comfort level in a summer shoe. Highly speculative, but may be worth a try.

Good biotech has had a good run, but has the ability to go much farther still. Low $50's should give good profits later.

The leader in Bloodbank automation has a new product called Echo that is promising huge cost savings in hospital bloodbanks. The real money is in the reagents that are needed to perform the tests. Profit margins are huge and rising over the 70% level. Recent acquisition is weighing on bottom line, but will eventually power an even greater profit level. This is a win-win over the next year! As one of the only companies servicing this niche they stand to be rewarded with strong profits in late 2008 forward. Buy at $26.00.

You have to have defense right now, and this one has a great business model that has been hit by a bad market. Dividend was recently $1.05 due to a weak dollar to pound ratio so what's not to like? Under $74 is great.

Slow mover after spilt, but may have nice growth in tha later half of the year. Buy around $20 and take the good dividend.
