TSN

8.85

Tyson Foods (TSN)

Q:     I have a tiny portfolio that my kids and I work on together, and my 7 year old likes chicken. And he is thinking Tyson Foods, but they seem to have a lousy dividend and earnings, what would be a better choice?

Jim:  
I have to tell you Kylie, I think that is a problematic situation Tyson… and Richard Bond has recently, recently left the company… we had great hopes for him… it seems that the problems at Tyson are too hard for almost anyone to manage… my favorite chicken play… I know this is going to sound like it is a little attenuated.. would still be
McDonald's (MCD)… chicken McNuggets… every time they go they will get a kick out of it… let’s buy them some shares of Mickey Dee's… and I am confident that Mr. Skinner, the fabulous CEO will continue to deliver for you and your kids.

WYNN

29.73

Wynn Resorts (WYNN)

Q:     I am thinking about buying Wynn... Do I wait a week or two? Or do I just jump right in?

Jim:  
Well, you can wait… but I don’t think that is actually going to solve it… I actually like the Wynn bonds more than I like common stock… I have been emphasizing to people in RealMoney.com where I write the paid site of TheStreet.com where I am chairman… that International Game Technology (IGT), I don’t want to touch it… I am worried about that… MGM Mirage (MGM), I don’t want to touch it… I am worried about that, hit a 52 week low today… Las Vegas Sands (LVS) I told people to sell, sell, sell… I believe that everyone in that group… I get the Las Vegas Sun… my friend Matt gives it to me… and I am very concerned that this whole group is going unreasonably lower… even after it is going down… I don’t want you touching that one… I think that one is trouble.

VAR

36.16

Varian Medical Systems Inc. (VAR)

Q:     What do you think about VAR - Varian Medical Systems?

Jim:  
Yeah, I like Varian… now I have to tell you that I think the hospitals are going to be struggling… but it doesn’t matter that is the quality company in the industry… I want to buy Varian… that is a little variant from my Varian view… but I do believe that Varian is come out fine.
