Du Pont (DD): 'I would rather see you in DD [than DOW].'
Oracle (ORCL): ' ... go right into ORCL. That's right - ORCL. Going higher!'
Merck (MRK): 'MRK may be the most 'up' stock in the DOW. What a monster quarter; what a great pipeline; forget the litigation. Two thumbs up, way up. MRK. That one is just on a short road to $50!'
SAIC (SAI): 'This was a hot deal. I recommended this... It is right now at $17.81, up 58 cents today. It's high was $18.89, and it is going back to its high. I want you in SAI!'
DivX (DIVX): ' ... we are up just a huge amount from where we recommended this stock on my show, but I am not backing away.'
Akamai Technologies (AKAM)
Apple (AAPL): ' ... go buy AAPL ... getting to $100. That's the one.'

Dow Chemical (DOW): 'Dow has historically made plastic in this country, and they need it in China.'
CommVault Systems (CVLT): 'This is one of these data management software companies. There are like a gazillion of them.'
Broadcom (BRCM): 'Dive to $25, and then 'mon-back, but not until then. Sell, sell, sell!'
