Date updated:02-21-2008
I am currently in cash. I have made two trades in the 2008. I made a few dollars in TAP and lost a few in RIMM. I'm down about 2-3 dollars. Basicly, I have broken even so far. Everyone seems to like health care. If the fed doesn't cut rates I might just pick one up, and just ride it out for a while.

-
TAP
Molson Coors Co C - $45.62
- -0.26%
- $45.85
Molson-Coors. The other domestic alcohol producer. It wants to increase marketshare and it opened a new brewery to help with its production.I think this will trade like a recession play if things slow down. Edit: TAP at 45.00 bucks as of today (1/23/08). You have to buy some at this price. It's cheap.

X
United States Ste - $43.67
- +3.88%
- $42.51
United States Steel. Man this stock has been doing nicely as of late. It's too bad I sold out of it at 107 before the big sell off. I should have jumped back in a 98 bucks like Guy said on fast money.

-
BIDU
Baidu - $442.18
- +1.52%
- $437.21
It's got everything. It's got the Chinese Growth behind it. It's got the Google search engine thing going for it. I would buy it every chance I could at 350 and ride it back up to 400. Edit: BIDU at 329. Monday morning is going to be interesting for me and this stock. I have missed the last few opportunities to get 40-50 point moves in this stock. I'd hate to miss the 329 to 400 move.

LUM
Lum - $0.00
- N/A
- $N/A
Luminent mortgage is my speculative play. It's a real cheap stock. It has been beaten up because of the mortgage crisis.

-
RIMM
Research In Motio - $59.76
- +0.39%
- $59.69
RIMM keeps making money! The next time it drops off a few from its high, I'm going to pick some up. To think, I could have had some at 105 the day before its last qurater! D'OH! Edit: I can't believe that RIMM is getting cheap. I lost a couple of bucks on it though. Bought some at 109 and sold it later that same day at 107. I wasn't going to wait for it to come back. I think I'll see how low it goes before its next earnings release.

-
VZ
Verizon Commun - $32.03
- +0.50%
- $31.96
Added verizon back in my portfolio today (1/23/08). VZ was waaaaay to cheap today. 38 bucks? No way!. Best telco in my mind, continues to expand Fios. Forget AT&T. They don't know how to sell thier triple play.

-
ACI
Arch Coal Inc - $21.80
- +1.35%
- $21.72
After looking at a new 52 week high list last week, I saw this one. I looked at the chart and saw that it had a nice monster move in it. I know I fell asleep on the coal trade, but I might still make a little cash out of the deal.

A. How much hype are we going to get? ...
"The Sovereign debt funds the
latest to be in jeopardy." Blah,
Blah, Blah … A new Boggy Woggy for the
bears. IMHO, the talking heads are
going to have a field day EVEN IF a
short term debt solution is worked out.
So, while I certainly don't KNOW, the
risk to reward is with the bears. I plan
to cash out my longs early in the
session. Hoping to catch the market
makers asleep with all that turkey.
Sometimes it isn’t stupid to panic
lite.
Also, if debt is called, it is often
denominated in dollars that can lead to
a short term rise in the dollar’s
value, i.e., a physical shortage of the
paper, 2T dollars out there about 50T in
dollar denominated debt.
But, man, would I like to hear other
thoughts. Certainly is interesting how
this was timed. What BS!
A. The only one I own : SLX,
too hard pick a winner out all of them
