Capital One Financia (COF): 'COF is going to expand like mad because its got the Northfolk bank load deposits.'
United States Steel (X): 'is in the midst of a monster pullback... I would buy the first piece in the mid-60s, and if it got to 64, I would double down, and if it gets to 61, you would be in heaven.'

Alcoa Inc (AA)
: 'I'd rather see you in aluminum, which has come down as much as (copper), but is much cheaper.'
