    100% serious: Fund manager here looking for value picks. Only ones I see are $T & $YUM. Selling out of *everything* else. Too heavy in cash.

    • Dr. Kris: Not sure how you define "value", but here's some goodies w/current yields: $CPA 4%, $NCT 8.8%, $STAG 5.5%, $CSU.

    • det9: Dr.Kris, does $NCT still have room to go higher?
      Jan 17, 12:04 PM
    • Dr. Kris: $NCT just broke $9 resistance, testing $10. All-time high of $33, P/E of 3. Not an expert on the company but luv the chart!

    • neobliviscar: Thank you gals & guys. For the record, selling $YUM puts at $62.5 & $60. Looking at Dr.Kris' recs now. Today's run actually triggered some

    • neobliviscar: sell & 'auto' shorts that our computer places when overbought hits uber-high. I don't like being short. Much rather be finding value picks.

    • neobliviscar: Factoid: long ago once made markets in MSFT. Was short 1,000,000 shares of MSFT one day. Made small fortune, but still hate betting against.

    • Perkins Cove: So, shorting goes against your grain? It seems to be that way with many. You must be human.......wink

    • Perkins Cove: hmmm, wise words. Thanks, I will remember that.

    • neobliviscar: @Dr.Kris - put $CPA on radar 4pullbacks. Lukewarm on $STAG. $CSU- heck of a run, but not value pick. $NCT ----interesting. Watching. Had I

    • Ocean Man: $T and $ACAS are the only things I would buy right here.
      Jan 17, 3:48 PM
    • neobliviscar: OM: Yes, really watching $T tomorrow. $ACAS is a fun one, where I picked up a lot of late 2013 options & may pick up more on any pullback.
