Conviction List

BUY Goldman Sachs (ticker: GS)
Recent Px: $180
12 Mo. Target Px: $230
Goldman Sachs is a "best of breed" firm that prints money like no other on Wall Street. Trading at 9 times next years earning there is no reason to see this stock going lower than recent volatility has suggested. Recent earnings announcement surpassed analyst expectations. I would expect them to continue doing so. Buying in the 160s or lower would be a good buy.
SELL Bear Stearns Corp. (ticker: BSC)
Recent Px: $10
12 Mo. Target Px: N/A
JP Morgan got a heck of a deal and even felt bad about their initial offering price that they raised the bid from $2 to $10 per share. I guess it always possible that the deal falls apart and other outside bids are submitted but not without losing their building. Its a virtual lock at this point. Therefore, I think its time to look elsewhere.
BUY Ultra Petroleum (ticker: UPL)
Recent Px: $78
12 Mo. Target Px: $100
Ultra Petroleum's knack for oil and gas exploratory success makes this name a "must have" in the portfolio. This Houston-based firm has interests and business in Green River Basin, Wyoming, and offshore China.
BUY iShares China 25 (ticker: FXI)
Recent Px: $145
12 Mo. Target Px: $175
Chinese economist have forecasted a 11% growth in GDP for this year...and that comes on the heels of a slowing US economy. One word: "WOW!"
BUY Dow Jones Ultra 200% Index (ticker: DDM)
Recent Px: $70
12 Mo. Target Px: $88
Goldman superstar Abbey Cohen has predicted that the DJIA will see 14700 this year. With that logic and her call in mind, then consider using the 2:1 magnification etf that is based on the Dow's performance.
