Jim:
Alert… the worst
is now over in
healthcare…
alert… everyone
has been so
worried about
the potential
damage from
healthcare
reform… and what
it could do to
stocks…
especially since
the Nancy Pelosi
controlled House
passed its
version of the
bill on November
7th.. that they
have not been
paying enough
attention to the
facts… the
facts, and what
are those
facts?… After
last nights
Senate
healthcare
proposal, there
are two
possibilities
for the outcome
of this
healthcare
reform… either
it will die a
slow Republican
assisted death
in the Senate…
and nothing
meaningful
happens, in
which case I am
pronouncing it
DNR, for do not
resuscitate… or
something
eventually gets
passed that is
so watered down…
and much further
to the center
that I am
telling you… at
Mad Money, in
Cramerica… we no
longer are going
to fret about
healthcare
reform and what
it could do to
the healthcare
stocks...
Yet the market
just doesn’t
seem to
understand the
situation…
investors are
too terrified… I
know what they
are terrified
about… investors
are too
terrified that
the Bolshevik’s
have seized the
winter palace… I
mean that the
Democrats will
pass some sort
of earnings
killing
monstrosity that
looks nothing
what they are
talking about in
the Senate… and
that is why the
healthcare group
is still trading
at the largest
discount to the
S&P… meaning
that the stocks
are cheapest
historically vs.
where they have
been.
Now you know
that we have
been
recommending
WellPoint… we
have been
recommending
WellPoint as the
best way to play
the miss pricing
of healthcare…
because it is
cheap… man have
we been just
spot on on this
one… and it has
very little
Medicare
exposure… in the
single digits
vs. other HMO’s…
and we still
expect the stock
to trade up to
$60... we are
not taking
profits yet, but
after examining
the Senate’s
version of the
bill, tonight we
want to be more
daring.. as a
matter of fact,
we are going to
be more daring…
we are daring
people.
Tonight I want
to take the
extra step of
actually
recommending a
stock that has
major Medicare
exposure…
because say it
with me, I am no
longer afraid of
healthcare
reform… to
borrow a phrase
from Chairman
Mel, who is
probably rolling
over in his
grave because of
the reactionary
nature of this
legislation…
healthcare
reform I am now
pronouncing to
be a paper
tiger… that is
why tonight I am
recommending
Rehabcare
Group Inc. (RHB)…
I mean this is
the kind of
stock that you
would not even
touch with a ten
foot pole… this
company gets 70%
of its revenue
from Medicare… I
am telling you
this stock is
good… I think
that it is
cheap… although
not as cheap as
it was last
month… I am
telling you that
it is a buy,
buy, buy on a
pullback… a
pullback that I
am expecting to
happen this
weekend… it will
be caused by
what looks to be
a draconian
resolution that
I expect to be
passed this
weekend… that I
am promising you
is not that
draconian and
will not hurt
any of the
stocks.
RehabCare is the
largest
independent
operator of
contract
rehabilitation
services… in
skilled nursing
facilities and
acute care
hospitals… the
company provides
and manages
physical
occupation and
speech therapy
to 1, 068
skilled nursing
and long term
care facilities
across 37
states…

Lightning Round
Picks: |

Cisco
(CSCO*)
Jim: Everyone is dumping on Chambers…now here is what I want you to do because you sound like you have got horse sense and know how to do the homework… I want you to go listen to that conference call… go read the transcript, it is on the website… I have been following John Chambers since 1995... and I have got to tell you that this is the most bullish that I have ever heard him… he really basically told you that this company is back and bigger than ever… it will finish this Tandberg acquisition and be fine… I think that Cisco should be bought which is why it is one of my biggest positions for
my charitable trust… and all the naysayers are going to be proven wrong. |

Baidu.com (BIDU)
Jim: People think this is Google, this is from Communist China for heavens sake… the stock is so high, that I want to sell, sell, sell… no way do I want to own Baidu… by the way, look at the China Med, if you want to know how hard this Chinese market is…look at what happened to
China Med (CMED) last night... I mean they just kiboshed that thing like you would not believe… let me just get a price here, just because I want to finish the thought here… China Med down $2 to $12... I do not trust the Chinese stock market… what is the worst thing we ever recommended here?..
Yingli (YGE) the solar company, I should have just recommended Yuengling the beer, or PBR for that matter. |

Temple-Inland (TIN) Jim: Oh, we already made decent money in this… I am going to say sell, sell, sell.. I am going to give you this one and I also want to sell
Packaging Corp. of America
(PKG) although it is an accidental high yielder… I am willing to buy
International Paper (IP) when it goes back under $20... but Temple-Inland has moved too much…I do not like the balance sheet… we recommended it in the single digits…we have taken profits… and what it is that I have learned is do not look back. |
