Bullish calls:

Herbalife (HLF): 'I have switched to Herbalife (HLF) and I am much thinner!'
US Bancorp (USB):  'at 4.8% yield, USB... I'd pull the trigger right here!  I think they're going to own the mortgage market.'
Wells Fargo (WFC)
Southern Copper (PCU): 'Skee Daddy likes PCU... no doubt about it.'
Freeport McMoRan (FCX): ' if you want a cheaper stock that is off more, because the hedge funds kept dumping it all over the place... it is Freeport McMoRan, which is down a quick $15.'
 Novartis(NVS): 'Novartis  is the play.'
Cal-Maine Foods (CALM): 'Yeah, that stock is still cheap.  And people don't understand... it's like the only egg producer around there.'
Kraft Foods (KFT): 'That's the big dairy play that I like very much, and I'm reiterating that everybody's circling around KFT.  Irene Rosenfeld's going to sell some brands.  That stock goes from $32 to $35.'
Dell(DELL):'It reports later this week.  I think it's going to have an upside surprise … I think it reports $30 by the year's end.'
Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE)
PepsiCo(PEP): 'PEP, at $68, has still got more upside.  Great international growth.  Frito Lay turned.  Brand new sugar-free Gatorade coming, and great ads last night on Sunday Night Football on NBC.'
Toll Brothers (TOL): 'I think is going to bottom, ahead of all the other homebuilders - the only area in this whole country with real estate that is not falling off a cliff.'
 CACI International (CAI)
 Raytheon (RTN): 'I like Raytheon more than CAI.'
 Lockheed Martin (LMT): ' … broke out today.'
General Dynamics (GD)
 American Standard (ASD): 'ASD, in the end, is an inexpensive stock.  You know I like the management.  But it's got a new CEO.  It's no longer going to be Fred Poses.  I've got to stick by ASD!' 
Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK)

Bearish calls:

Blackstone Group (BX): 'I think BX is just the quintessential wrong stock to own.'
Fortress Group (FIG)
Alvarion (ALVR): 'It's an Israeli wireless company.  I really like it…. Let it pull back under $10.'

Sanofi-Aventis (SNY)
CPI (CPY)
Pre-Paid Legal Services (PPD)
