First up is Amazon (AMZN); The Seattle-based Internet retailer is one of Cramer's four horsemen of tech horsemen. Amazon is a stock that trades on the quarter. That's because the mammoth short -- 36 million shares on a 300 million basis -- lays on it all the time. There's no doubt this is one expensive stock, the most expensive of all the four horsemen on a growth basis. I don't think people understand the leverage of this model. Amazon has spent and spent and spent. Now it doesn't need to spend much anymore. The infrastructure is in place. This company has huge, huge, huge gearing; it can at last make money off the billions in cash flow. And due to the fact that Amazon has most of their costs set in as Fixed costs, a slight increase in profits could move the stock MUCH higher. Weekly Catalyst: A massive short position could propel this one higher. The company has constantly low-balled guidance; for example, they said that they would not make a dime off the latest Harry Potter book because it was applying such a discount to the new release. That simply was not true, they made money.

Level 3 Communications (LVLT) is one of the most talked about stocks in our answers section in stockpickr. I am not sure if it’s because of its low price of the fact that Cramer called it one of his top speculative plays of the year but LVLT get’s almost as much chatter as NYX. With that said this stock has been severely beaten down in the last month; so and with earnings this week, I think it offers a great risk vs reward. After getting a senseless downgrade by Cowens & Company LVLT is set up for the perfect earnings play. With most of their spending behind them I think management is going to focus this conference call on new business advantages which will send investors back into the stock.

This might be the biggest quarter that Apple has ever faced. Reports from their I-Phones, I-Pods and G4-Powerbooks are going to be reported this quarter-- investors are looking for more understanding in how products are selling. Here is what I have my sources say; 1) G4-Powerbooks are going to be 500K higher then estimated netting Apple an ADDITONAL $400-$500MM in net revenue; college students where the catalysts here. 2) I-Phone sells are just ok although I was walking down the street last week in the city and a smelly bum using an I-Phone. Apple has been my back to school pick for some time now, with estimates low @ Apple I am looking for a beat, the only question is how much of this is already in the stock.

Anytime Kohl’s goes under $55 a share I feel so include to recommend it. Kohl’s reported that will repurchase $2.5 billion worth of common stock over the next three years. How ironic, since the stock is near its 52-week low. A buyback of this size (13% of total outstanding shares) indicates that management thinks it’s time to get on board. On top of the buyback, Deutsche Bank reiterated its buy rating and $75 price target. The bank believes the repurchase plan will add to full-year 2007 and full-year 2008 earnings-per-share growth. Kristin Bentz former Lehman Brothers Consumer Equities analyst and now managing editor and consumer retail contributor at realmoney.com also feels that KSS is a buy.

AK Steel Holdings reports earnings this week as well, with the steel sector totally booming I am looking for a beat on EPS. On the 10th AK Steel settled a lawsuit over health care premiums, setting up a $663 million trust fund to be managed by the retirees. This will avoid AKS paying out about half of the $2.1 billion in health care costs! Fundamentally, Chinese demand is amazing, demand for all sorts of commodities is helping these companies beat earnings!

Lockheed Martin recently announced it will buy back 20 million shares with the stock @ $108. The defense contractor also recently boosted its dividend by 20%. The stock trades for 10x cash flow. LMT has been buying back shares since the $80 level; this shrinks the float and should EPS. I am looking for a total beat on the numbers

XTO reports earnings this Tuesday, and despite semi- soft natural gas price during this quarter (although, Nat. Gas is starting to pick up) I expect them to beat earnings, they have a highly hedged portfolio and the best company in the exploration and production space. We had an Indian summer with temperatures in the high 80's in New York City this weekend; most large A/C units use natural gas.

Also worth looking which reports this week is 1-800-flowers (FLWS); This stock has quietly moved from $8 to $13 since RLR Capital Partners disclosed a 5.1% stake and a letter expressing their current support for the company’s management and the initiatives management has undertaken. With the holidays approaching their guidance is essential. I am looking for a beat as the company is able to implement their new business models added with the fact that commodity prices to flowers has dropped and FLWS should move higher.
