Best Stocks To Buy For The Next Decade . ( GOOG,FSLR,WFMI,CMG,CLNE,SIRI,EEM,ETF,PTR,CHL)


1. Google ( GOOG ) 601.00 a share
Google Inc. maintains an index of Websites and other online content, and makes this information freely available through its search engine to anyone with an Internet connection. The Company’s automated search technology helps people obtain nearly instant access to relevant information from its online index. The Company generates revenue primarily by delivering online advertising. Businesses use its AdWords program to promote their products and services with targeted advertising. In August 2008, the Company sold the search marketing business of Performics, a division of DoubleClick. In September 2008, Google Inc. bought Korea-based blogging software developer Tatter and Company. In September 2009, the Company acquired ReCAPTCHA Inc., a spin-off of Carnegie Mellon University's Computer Science Department.But I think anyone who tells you not to buy Google is crazy. People say it's overvalued. According to the S&P, Google's fair value today is $633 .Strong fundamentals.Google will increase revenue with mobile ads.Great search engine, (almost) everybody uses it, and its free! Great stock.Google stock has done well over the last so many months in reaching those high price levels that it once was. Given the fact that it has already made a big return this year, I still think that Google will go higher. The company has the best fundamentals I have seen since I started analyzing stocks, and I saw that there was still some room to grow. Because of the fundamentals and the fact that I think Google is a great company is why I think the stock will continue to rise.

2. First Solar, Inc ( FSLR ) 133.10
First Solar, Inc. designs and manufactures solar modules using a thin film semiconductor technology. The Company’s solar modules employ a thin layer of cadmium telluride semiconductor material to convert sunlight into electricity. Each solar module is approximately 2 feet by 4 feet (60 centimeters by 120 centimeters) and had an average rated power of approximately 73 watts, during the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008. Its solar module is a single-junction polycrystalline thin film structure that uses cadmium telluride as the absorption layer and cadmium sulfide as the window layer. The Company’s solar power systems and project development business provides a variety of integrated services to its customers as part of a system solution delivery. These services include solar power system design, procurement of permits and balance of system components, construction management, monitoring and maintenance.FSLR's margins decreased in the last quarter due to discounts given during the recession, but 120 is about as cheap as this company will be for a while. While new, more cost-effective designs could rock the solar industry at any time, FSLR is the company rocking this industry and their PE is only 17 (I say only compared to other tech stocks). Their thin film cells are cheaper than any other solar panel out there. They win oodles of contracts, including in China where they compete against homegrown like STP and YGE. A Buffett moat separates FSLR from its competition in an industry that will outperform the market as a whole for the next few years. Excellent fundamentals -- Copenhagen conference appears to be catalyzing at this time. Long-term play as well as cheaper dollar gives lowest production cost per watt .Beaten down still great business potential. Lot´s of cash, dominant market position, little debt. strong track record. Looking for a surprise in 2010 results.Great patents on their thin, light weight panels. A leader in this area. This will be one of the top stocks to buy in this next decade.


3. Jamba Juice - JMBA 1.73 a share
Jamba, Inc. serves as a holding company for its wholly owned subsidiary, Jamba Juice Company (collectively, Jamba or the Company), which owns and franchises Jamba Juice stores. The Company is engaged in retailing blended-to-order fruit smoothies, squeezed-to-order juices blended beverages and healthy snacks using the Jamba brand. Jamba’s blended beverages are available in three sizes: Sixteen 16 ounces), Original (24 ounces) and Power (30 ounces). Most of Jamba’s stores carry a limited supply of related merchandise, including books and smallwares. The Company sells jambacards to its customers in retail stores and through its Website. As of January 1, 2008, Jamba had 707 stores, of which 501 were Company-owned (Company Stores) and 206 were franchisee-owned, 373 Company stores are located in California while one franchise store can be found in the Bahamas.The partnership with Nestle and the launch of the new in-store beverage lineup will be a shot in the earnings arm over the next couple of years. JMBA is definitely beaten down since its IPO. But on multiple metrics it is clearly undervalued. I expect that over 2 or so years, it will outperform the market. JMBA has significant growth opportunities.Poor Jamba. They've had a tough time in 2008/2009 with the credit crisis hitting California so roughly, impacting the key market for these delicious and mostly healthy treats. I had my first wheat grass shot at Jamba, which took a lot of trust for me! Jamba has a wide selection of products for most everyone, and this selection is 1) broader with new breakfast products and 2) soon to be more widely available as packaged goods with Jamba's venture with Nestle. Nestle is a powerhouse... they've got much, much more than the Nestle Crunch (a Halloween favorite). Importantly, Nestle has access to a variety of distribution channels, which may give Jambe the edge it needs is the abundant health foods market. The major risk to Jamba is rising input prices as food commodities experience rising prices due to increased global demand. If management can keep the growth trajectory balanced (and they are holding back new store growth during the 2008/2009 crunch), this looks like a great story for several years to come.summer is almost here, and with the possibility of big tax returns that means more disposable income to spend on goods and services .Jamba's distribution partnership with Nestle should over a healthy boost to the top line and lift the company's brand. Their new breakfast menu will produce more revenue from each location. Now trading at roughly 0.3x sales, it's a compelling value with a great deal of growth left. Any decline in record agricultural commodity prices should help on the cost side. The board owns over 10% of the company and is properly motivated to get the stock moving upwards again.Jamba Juice is a major bargain at these prices. They have no debt on their balance sheet but their costs are kind of out of control. If they some how manage to get their costs down and their margin up, we'll definitely see $10 per share. Great smoothie business with intrinsic value in its stores.


4. Sirius XM .62 a share
Sirius XM Radio Inc. has two principal wholly owned subsidiaries, XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. and Satellite CD Radio Inc. The Company is engaged in broadcasting in the United States, its music, sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic and weather channels for a subscription fee through its satellite radio systems, the SIRIUS system and the XM system. On July 28, 2008, its wholly owned subsidiary, Vernon Merger Corporation, merged (the Merger) with and into XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. and, as a result, XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. became its wholly owned subsidiary. The SIRIUS system consists of three in-orbit satellites, approximately 120 terrestrial repeaters that receive and retransmit signals, satellite uplink facilities and studios. The XM system consists of four in-orbit satellites, over 700 terrestrial repeaters that receive and retransmit signals, satellite uplink facilities and studios.Finally merged. 1-2 years of shaking out the details and aligning the management teams before this thing takes off. combining debts and leveraging assets with XM was the final selling point. satellite radio is not going away .Sirius XM Radio will now see higher gains over the longer term. It's in the public's hand's carry satellite radio into the horizon from here. I highly suggest investing fun money as a long term play. Stay long and enjoy the benefits, but beware a possible near term reverse split.A bit oversold. Not a good long term buy,Sirius and XM merging changes the game in the Satellite arena. Just as many people said there wouldn't be anyone who would willingly pay for TV, many are saying people won't pay for Radio. Karmazin is a fantastic CEO, and I believe many years from now Sirius/XM will be in fantastic shape. With the new launch of advertiezing the new radio and howard stern , this will pop in 2010 and w/ the holiday season here go buy a satellite radio and watch this company grow into a money making machine . !!!

5. Clean Energy Fuels Corp ( CLNE ) 15.78
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Clean Energy) is a provider of natural gas as an alternative fuel for vehicle fleets in the United States and Canada. The Company offers a solution to enable customers to run their fleets on natural gas. It designs, builds, finances and operates fueling stations, and supplies customers with compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). The Company also helps them acquire and finance natural gas vehicles, and obtain local, state and federal clean air rebates and incentives. The Company serves fleet vehicle operators in a variety of markets, including public transit, refuse hauling, airports, taxis, seaports, and regional trucking. On August 15, 2008, the Company acquired Dallas Clean Energy, LLC. Nat gas play. This is a bet on nat gas,Larger vehicles could use natural gas as a clean fuel.CLNE has received four contracts from wastemangement companies in the last week to con vert trucks to NG.Waste companies has filed an appeal to CARE in California to extent it's deadline to convert their truck fleets to AE costing over $4Billion dollars. This market is huge and growing..... I loved this stock since the IPO a few years ago , this is the future and when the goverment wakes up this will soar higher !Maybe I missed something but I think natural gas is going to be the cheapest, relatively clean energy source, around. It's going to be produced domestically in huge quantities, and in tough times those parts of the country with any are going to trip over themselves to cash in... environmental hazards be damned. The economics case for natural gas cars and trucks is going to be made pretty compellingly... an expanded gas-dispensation infrastructure is going to make other gas fuels viable, like methane from industrial farm production.One possibilty is that in a huge push to go green our governemnt backs Natural Gas as a major fuel source and starts handing out insanely valuable contracts to companies like these.
Possibly all cars will start running on natural gas. This seems much more plausible and practical than putting tons of battery powered cars on the road.
Natural gas is a better choice but who knows what will be chosen. I think I will get in on this in real life with a little more research. natural gas is a natural and easy transition!Natural Gas is gas is the future until technology for batteries becomes cheaper and more efficient.Long term believer of natural gas , for the next decade .

6. Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. ( CMG ) 90.50 a share
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. develops and operates fast-casual, fresh Mexican food restaurants in 33 states throughout the United States, the District of Columbia and Ontario, Canada. It operates Mexican food restaurants serving burritos, tacos, burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla) and salads. The Company operated 837 restaurants in 33 states throughout the United States, the District of Columbia, and Toronto, Canada as of December 31, 2008. Its restaurants serve a menu of tacos, burritos, salads and burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla), made using fresh ingredients. Chipotle categorizes its restaurants as either end-caps (at the end of a line of retail outlets), in-lines (in a line of retail outlets), free-standing or other. Of its restaurants in operation as of December 31, 2008, it had 180 free-standing units, 496 end-cap locations, 135 in-line locations and 26 other. The average restaurant size is about 2,600 square feet and seats about 60 people. still think there is a lot of untapped market share for chipotle. It may be overpriced by traditional valuation measures, but people pay up for profitable growing companies with great products,Chipotle is one of the few larger food companies approaching food from a sustainable perspective. Consumers are starting to think more about the food choices they make and looking for products that contain less chemicals, additives, etc. They have figured out how to make food still cheap, fast and tasty but at the same time environmentally friendly. Healthy, quick, delicious food for the next decade trend !excellent balance sheet, young healthy upwardly mobile loyal clientelle, will be successful in Europe when continuing to expand !This company dominates the Mexican-style fast food market in the following ways: fresh ingredients and food style, simple menu offerings, clean restaurant designs, green/sustainable mentality, and down-right delicious food. I feel these things make Chipotle superior to Moe's, Freebirds, Taco Bell, Qdoba, etc.
The food is somewhat pricey, which is not good in the current economic climate. But I think the product is good enough to keep people coming back for more, regardless of the price.

7. Whole Foods Market, Inc ( NASDAQ:WFMI ) 28.41 a share
The produce is amazing. The stores are full with beautifully displayed merchandise. The staff is intelligent and likable. They have all the ingredients for success when we come out of the recession.Whole Foods Market, Inc. (Whole Foods Market) owns and operates a chain of natural and organic foods supermarkets.

Its product selection includes, but is not limited to produce, seafood, grocery, meat and poultry, bakery, prepared foods and catering, specialty (beer, wine and cheese), coffee and tea, nutritional supplements, vitamins, body care and educational products such as books, floral, pet products and household products.all around good company in an expanding market, good long term pick. CEO John Mackey has built a great brand with loyal customers. I like betting on entrepreneurial visionaries in small to medium-sized businesses, so here's a green thumb for one of my favorite businesses.Tremendous expansion potential. Healthy and organic foods are the rave. A very well and conservatively run company.people like whole foods. There's such a big emphasis on greener, natural foods and thats what whole foods does best. Whatever other supermarkets try to do to copy whole foods, they can't do it nearly as well.

8. iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Indx (ETF) ( EEM ) 41.18 a share

The indication of interest is subject to various contingencies, including satisfactory completion of due diligence by Big Red.



Jones Soda retained North Point Advisors in February 2009 to assist in evaluating the company's strategic alternatives. Since that time, the company has reviewed a broad range of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value, including the continued execution of the company's business plan, potential fundraising opportunities, strategic partnerships and distribution arrangements, and potential combinations with strategic and financial investors. The Board of Directors intends to conduct a thorough evaluation of Big Red's indication of interest and all other strategic alternatives.

This company is not going down and instead will be placed in the center of the housing recovery. Bet on it, bank on it.people will always need shelter over their heads, fnm and fre will provide it as long as the goverment back the company up with people tax dollars.As soon as the toxic assets can be cleared, the economy should rise again. But however for this stock as well as FRE, this will be a traders stock not an investors stock. It has been flat as of lately, but when good news comes out again expect it to hover around 2.50 . This is the most risky penny stock pick , however this can make you mad money in 2010 , 2011 ....

3. Arbor Realty Trust, Inc ( ABR ) 1.68 a share / target price is 3.75
Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. is a specialized real estate finance company. The Company invests in a diversified portfolio of structured finance assets in the multi-family and commercial real estate markets. It invests primarily in real estate-related bridge and mezzanine loans, including junior participating interests in first mortgages, preferred and direct equity, and in limited cases, discounted mortgage notes and other real estate-related assets.

The Company is externally managed and advised by Arbor Commercial Mortgage, LLC (ACM), a national commercial real estate finance company. This stocks looks undervalued. This stock should bounce back as soon the credit crisis comes to an ends.Even the most bearish of the bears don't think apartment and commercial real estate values will fall to less than a quarter of their current levels. While we're waiting for the recovery, I'll sit back and get fat off the dividend. Real Estate. . . has it hit bottom. . my money says that commercial has ? long term play , at least 2 - 3 years !

4. Citigroup Inc ( C ) 3.37 a share / target price is 7.50
Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup) is a global diversified financial services holding company. The Company is engaged in providing a range of financial services to consumers and corporate customers.

Through its two operating units, Citicorp and Citi Holdings, Citigroup provides consumers, corporations, governments and institutions with a range of financial products and services, including consumer banking and credit, corporate and investment banking, securities brokerage, and wealth management.In August 2009, the Company sold three credit card portfolios.In September 2009, Citigroup Inc. completed the sale of Nikko Cordial Securities to Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc.'s subsidiary, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. In October 2009, the Company sold its Nikko Asset Management Co. to The Sumitomo Trust & Banking Co., Ltd. Why I am long Citi and other large financials.
Citigroup is one of the surviving large, mult-national banks left standing, and they are HUGE. Citi has a physical presence in over 100 countries around the world.Currently is paying the TARP and declaring positive earnings .If the government divests slowly then Citi may not have much upside, but this could/should be bottom. Overall, not a great CAPs call as upside appears to be minimum, but sometimes an equity with little downside is a good call in today's market. Cramer says that this month's stock offering should be among the last of bank offerings as C and WFC are the last to repay TARP money. The bet is on a return to bank health within the next two years on a worldwide economic recovery. Apparently C has more worldwide exposure, which would poise them to outperform other US banks.Too big to fail. Large international footprint. It will take some time, but I think it will recover!Long term returns on rebound, get it while its cheap.

5. BIOCENTRIC ENGY HLDGS INC ( BEHL ) .011 / target price .12
Company President Dennis Fisher today announced, "The transition to the new Corporate Facility in Santa Ana, California from San Juan Capistrano is almost fully completed.

As with all pennystocks, remember that any increase in trading volume can dramatically influence the share price. These stocks are speculations in the best sense of the word. They require good nerves and discipline:

BioCentric Energy Holdings, Inc. describes itself as “dedicated to the development of new technologies as well as acquiring and fostering companies with innovative technologies designed to provide unique and effective green energy and alternative fuel solutions for the 21st century.”



I was glad they left out the term “synergy” in that description. But the next sentence punished my premature glee: “Along with the cultivation of important relationships and partnerships with synergistic entities, BioCentric Energy has devoted substantial time and effort in research and development in order to bring a range of innovative green fuel and nutritional alternatives to the marketplace.”

BioCentric Energy Incorporated provides renewable alternatives. It offers biodiesel, ethanol, Pyrolysis processed bio oil, biogas, char, oxygenated diesel, and electricity. The company represents biodiesel producers in the United States.

Peru Project

Organizing and Facilitating Farmer Co-op in Peru to place BCEI as Mandate to facilitate the planting, harvesting, and eventual sale, and delivery of Organic biodiesel feedstock – market – Brazil.

The advantage of growing crops in these areas is considerable. The country’s climate enables the farmers to have multiple crops and growing seasons, and based on the location of Pucallpa to the Amazon River, makes for easy access to irrigation and transportation down the Amazon River to Brazil. The land will be lease/purchased from the Peruvian Government for the local farmers. We look to the support of the Peruvian Government in the efforts, based on economic growth in the community and free trade agreements signed.

6. BizAuctions Inc. ( BZCN ) .001 a share / target price .25
Bisections Inc. is a provider of commercial eBay liquidation services for excess inventory, overstock items, and returns for retailers, manufacturers, and distributors. The Company sells from home goods, brand name clothes and electronics. The Company lists the merchandise through software which is integrated and compliant with eBay. Once an auction ends, payment is collected via PayPal or credit card. The Company is providing liquidation services to retailers in California, Arizona, and Colorado, and is in the process of expanding into other states. Shares of the company finished the day at $0.0016, down 11.11% from the opening bell. The stock reached an intraday high of $0.0020 which seemed to be a major resistance, thus causing it to fall near the $0.0016 levels where it has found a nice support level. Investors are currently awaiting company news regarding their next quarterly, and as well an update on the much anticipated holiday season sales with revenues expected to increase. During the same time last year, the stock reached a high of $0.11, after news of gaining new business from commercial and retail owners for the resale of their used industrial equipment. Excitement within the investment community is growing as technical analysis experts await the stock's 50 day MA and 200 day MA to cross, thus paving the way for the illusive Golden Cross formation.
"BizAuctions Inc. is one of those companies which thrives during hard-hit economic times, an example of which being the current recession we are in. Discount, markdown, and coupon companies will benefit the most as sales usually increase due to consumers seeking new ways to satisfy their holiday spending habits," writes Michael Vlaicu of TheMarketFinancial. "With the upcoming holiday season fast approaching, BizAuctions Inc. is one of those small companies which should reap the benefits, gain new customers and thus reestablish a renewed sense of optimism from investors. Revenue of $1,340,904 during six months ended June 30 2009, and a highly undervalued estimated $640M market cap compared to other competitors should trigger some technical buy signals across the board."

My Best Stock Picks For 2010 ( WEN,CYOU,BIDU,ATW,FLSR,MAR,BBY,CVX,ADR,VALE,DGI,WAC,F,GE,NUE,GOOG, )

1. Atwood Oceanics ( ATW ) 35.90 a share / target price 45.75

Atwood Oceanics, Inc., along with its international operating subsidiary, Atwood Oceanics Pacific Limited (AOPL) and related subsidiaries, is engaged in the business of international offshore drilling and completion of exploratory and developmental oil and gas wells, and related support, management and consulting services. As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s worldwide operations included nine .

offshore mobile drilling units located in five regions of the world: offshore Southeast Asia, offshore Africa, offshore Australia, the Mediterranean Sea and the United States Gulf of Mexico. As of September 30, 2009, the submersible Richmond was the only drilling unit working in the United States waters. As of November 24, 2009, the Company’s wholly owned and operating rig fleet included Atwood Eagle, Atwood Hunter, Atwood Falcon, Atwood Southern Cross, Seahawk, Atwood Aurora, Atwood Beacon, Vicksburg and Richmond

ATW's one of my favorite's because of its deepwater fleet. As long as oil prices stay above $60 - $70, they should be pretty profitable for the next few years. Increasing demand for oil and production from off-shore wells over the next few years should drive this stock price up.companies that are easy to understand with clean balance sheets and good track records in relatively straight-forward industries.When oil and gas take off again (and it will) ATW will prove a wise investment. With a PEG ratio of 0.46 times earnings, this stock is incredibly undervalued. Long term keeper!energy looks like it is starting to heat up again.



2. Baidu 412.00 a share / target price 600.00  

Baidu, Inc. (Baidu) is a Chinese-language Internet search provider. The Company conducts its operations in China principally through Baidu Online Network Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd.

In January 2008, the Company launched a Japanese search service at www.baidu.jp, run by Baidu Japan. The Company’s Japanese search services enable users to find relevant information online, including Web pages, images, multimedia files and blogs, through links provided on its Websites.China's Google,only more presence. And if you don't know what google has going on..you need to go NOW, and find out for yourself. With China being the fastest growing in technology and Internet access, Baidu is poised to establish itself as THE Internet in China .china has 300 million internet users... and a huge growth.Baidu is still a small cap company compared with Google.I think as we go through the recovery stage both US China stocks will continue to recover.this stock will outperform the S&P becuase its china's largest search engine. Lets say its china's google. China is still a hug growth market.Baidu has strong buying on any dips. Seems like it will not only see growth buyers but will also have some safe haven buying! this is a long term play ! buy the dips down !



3. Wendy's ( WEN ) 4.30 a share / target price 9.25 

Wendy’s/Arby’s Group, Inc., formerly Triarc Companies, Inc., is the parent company of Wendy’s International, Inc. (Wendy’s) and Arby’s Restaurant Group, Inc. (ARG), which are the franchiser's of the Wendy’s and Arby’s restaurant systems. As of December 28, 2008, the Wendy’s restaurant system consisted of 6,630 restaurants, of which 1,406 were owned and operated by the Company. As of December 28, 2008, the Arby’s restaurant system included 3,756 restaurants, of which 1,176 were owned and operated by the Company. The Company operates in two business segments: Wendy’s and Arby’s.value buy. company restructuring and will come back. is the best burger of the big 3. international expansion.WEN is currently under-priced, considering the value of the firm, especially compared to peers. Combined sales continue to experience strong growth. During the first 3Qs of 2009, WEN has achieved over $2.7 billion in sales vs. $1.8 for the entire 2008 period.I like that they continue to attack their debt to get it lower to more favorable industry comps.LONG TERM THIS WILL BE 20+ in 2010 beyond. Great buy at this level.1- Significant cost cutting. In this environment it counts as earnings.2- Arby's sales may begin to stabilize and therefore stop being a drag on Wendys which is doing just fine3- Tons of cash to jump on any opportunities that may arise as small players become to throw awa the towels.4- A disaster 3rd quarter is already priced in the stock after UBS downgraded the stock to neutral from buy but kept $5 target on it.5- The hedge fund that own over 25% of WEN shares will keep WEN stock exciting especilaly after the company succeeded in rasing a lot of cash from their bond issuiance.6- All you need is another hedge fund to show interest in WEN to see the stock po. Best example is RAD wgen was trading at a 1$ then jumped to $3 overnight when hedge funds began to load up on the stock. 7- International potential, expansion, dual branding, breakfast, cost cutting, synergies, efficiencies, better executions, new product developments etc...all of this in under war.Patient investors will be rewards nicely for holding this baby for a year or so. But for quick money get out when WEN announces 3rd quarter results. Take your money and run to a near-buy wendys for a spicy chicken sandwich combo,) Cost savings- This is pretty much standard for any company turnaround, but the Wendy's/Arby's dual-branded restaurants have had early success in cutting costs2) Breakfast Menu- Wendy's currently does not participate much in breakfast sales. While this menu generally carries lower prices, breakfast accounts for 22% of industry wide traffic.That said, the Wendy's brand generates only about 2.2% of its sales from the first meal of the day. The majority of that figure, furthermore, came only from the testing of breakfast menus in about 10% of the company's restaurants. The tests have been successful to date, and Wendy's is planning to have rolled out that meal in all of its locations by 2011. Arby's has also worked hard to expand its offering in recent years by generating buzz in other products away from its traditional roast beef sandwiches. 3) International Expansion- Of the more than 10,000 total locations between the two brands, only about 850 are located outside of the U.S. -- and the majority of those are in Canada. Even so, earlier this year the company teamed with a Saudi- based company to build 135 dual-branded restaurants in the Middle East and North Africa. Wendy's also has plans to open another 35 locations in Singapore. In the meantime, there appears to be plenty of potential for the company to open other restaurants in Europe and and other areas of the world in which its larger competitors continue to enjoy success !

Changyou.com Limited is a China-based online game developer and operator. The Company is a subsidiary of Sohu.com. The Company was previously the online game division of Sohu.com.

Economy hasn't impacted Changyou much, outperformed guidance in recent quarters. New games in 2010 and 2011 in favorable demographics in china !fast growing sector period ....


5. Chevron ( CVX ) 76.90 a share / target price 99.00

Chevron Corporation (Chevron) manages its investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, and provides administrative, financial, management and technology support to the United States and International subsidiaries that engage in fully integrated petroleum operations, chemicals operations, mining operations of coal and other minerals, power generation and energy services. Exploration and production (upstream) operations consist of exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas, and also marketing natural gas. Refining, marketing and transportation (downstream) operations relate to refining crude oil into finished petroleum products; marketing crude oil and the many products derived from petroleum, and transporting crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products by pipeline, marine vessel, motor equipment and rail car. In April 2009, Reliance Industries Limited bought back Chevron Corporation's 5% stake in Reliance Petroleum Limited..Peak oil? Only for those operators who've not replaced reserves being depleted. Chevron is more than replacing, pumping more, and is geared for long-term success. High Dividend Yield, Low Payout Ratio, and insider ownership at 2% make for a very attractive purchase to anyone. (on top of 19% ROE and 42 Billion in earnings )gas prices will start going up again soon. We've seen $4/gal gas before - it's just a matter of time... Long term this will only go up. Demand for oil will continue to grow as china and India continue their path toward greater levels of industrialization. Every day people who have never owned a vehicle are buying one for the first time. This trend will not reverse but will exponentially grow as the populations exponentially grow. This company has the most solid managers in all of the business with extensive upstream experience.

6. Vale ( ADR ) 27.25 a share / Target price 41.00 

Vale S.A., formerly Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, is a metals and mining company. The Company is also a producer of iron ore and iron ore pellets. It also produces manganese ore, ferroalloys and kaolin. It also produces bauxite, alumina, aluminum, copper, coal, cobalt, precious metals, potash and other products.

Directly and through affiliates and joint ventures, it has investments in the energy and steel businesses. Its principal nickel mines and processing operations are conducted by its wholly owned subsidiary Vale Inco Limited (Vale Inco), which has mining operations in Canada and Indonesia. It owns and operates, or has interests in, nickel refining facilities in the United Kingdom, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and China. In March 2009, the Company sold its stake in Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais SA..Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (Vale) is a Brazil-based company engaged in the metal and mining industries. The Company provides components for such products as appliances, electronic equipment, cars, computers and construction materials, among others. The Company is also active in the exploration of iron ore, nickel, aluminum, copper, coal, cobalt, precious metals, potassium and other minerals. Vale operates logistic systems in Brazil, including railroads and maritime terminals, which are related to the mining operations. The Company's main subsidiaries are Brasilux SA, Companhia Paulista de Ferro Ligas, CVRD Overseas Ltd and Docepar SA, among others.Copper and commodities will continue to climb while the rest of the market flounders.RIO is a complicated company. I like it a lot though. My fairly uneducated glimpse of the industry leads me to believe that Vale is more agile than other competitors because it's smaller than rivals Rio Tinto and BHP.Long term I think that this is a young Oracle of Omaha pick.More countries than the U.S. are planning on infrastrusture to help rebound their economy.This company provides a necessary materials to worldwide clients. RIO has outperformed the market for several years and I believe the current downturn in the price of RIO is only a result of the slump in the US economy and stock market.Brazil's Vale the world's largest iron ore producer, has declared force majeure on some iron ore cargoes destined for China, helping lift the spot price of the raw material to a new record. The surge in spot prices makes it more difficult for steel mills to limit price increases in ongoing negotiations for next year with the world top miners. With iron ore at an all time high and a shortage of raw material forcing Chinese mills to scale back production in November after a record output of 42.92 million tonnes in October. Chinese steel output dropped to 39.69 million tonnes last month, its lowest level since March. If RIO can increase output and clear some of the congestion at ports it could have a solid 2009. Vale raised 18.4 billion real($11.5 billion) after underwriting discounts and commissions, the biggest share offering ever by a company in Latin America's largest economy. The funds will be used for general corporate purposes which may include strategic purchases. In 2007, Vale purchased Inco Ltd., a nickel miner. The company is also spending $59 billion over five years for investments into the company.Obama's infrastructure plan plus China's and India's economic growth as well as other emerging markets will position RIO very well in the long run..



7. DigitalGlobe Inc ( dgi ) 24.01 a share / Target price 30.00

DigitalGlobe, Inc. (DigitalGlobe) is a global provider of commercial high-resolution earth imagery products and services. DigitalGlobe owns and operates two imagery satellites. Together, its satellites are capable of collecting approximately one million square kilometers of imagery per day. This imagery is added daily to its ImageLibrary, which houses approximately 660 million square kilometers of high-resolution earth imagery as of March 31, 2009.

It offers a range of on- and off-line distribution options designed to enable customers to access and integrate its imagery into their business operations and applications. DigitalGlobe conducts its business through two segments: defense and intelligence, and commercial. Technical Analysis shows it Very Bullish long term. Their nearest Competitor GeoEye Inc. had the technological lead since February when they launched the GeoEye-1. Last week DigitalGlobe launched their WorldView II imaging satellite and recaptured the most advanced technology title. Relief over the successful launch of this $283 million satellite, and the out of this world profit potential it can provide, should send the stock soaring to new heights.Excellent products for defense industry as well as commercial market. History of good reliable products that dominate their market. Solid management team with proven record of growth.This is a good company, but too speculative at this point for me to plan any long on it, so i'm gonna short and walk. I hope it pans out for you long term stock pickers.


8. Walter Investment Management Corp ( WAC ) 14.38 a share / target price 21.00

Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc. is a specialty finance company whose principal business is to generate net interest income on its portfolio of mortgage loans and mortgage securities backed by mortgage loans on a leveraged basis. The Company avoids investments in sub-prime or Alt-A loans or securities collateralized by sub-prime or Alt-A loans. It leverages its purchases of mortgage securities with borrowings obtained primarily through the use of sales with agreements to repurchase the securities. The Company conducts its operations as a real estate investment trust (REIT) and has one primary subsidiary, Hanover Capital Partners 2, Ltd. (HCP-2). In April 2009, Walter Industries, Inc. announced the completion of the separation of its Financing business and the merger of that business with Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc. to create Walter Investment Management Corp. Diluted dividend should be about .35 which gives us a 10.% return. WAC works with delinguent mortagees to keep them in their homes and keep them paying what they can until values increase. with their added cash from stock issuance, the don't need to take their book loses and can hold them until they recover. In time this will happen .Government spending to improve the mortgage industry may work...if it does, this REIT seems well positioned to make a quick buck and then die off again, so I'll make some money while the sun is shining with this call! Spun off by WLT (Walter's Energy) and merged with Hanover Capital Mortgage, is a REIT that manages a 1.8 billion dollar portfolio of Sub-prime, prime and non-conformingl (ie Moblil Homes) Mortgages ( with a delinquency rate under 6%). Insiders have recently gobbled up shares at a furious clip taking the stock price from 7 to just under 14 in less than 2 weeks. This, in spite of generous stock grants. One director, also Chairman of WLT, took down almost 2 million dollars worth of stock in three separate buys in the open market. The only revenue this company has at present is the yield from the mortgages, but with all the gov't programs, and the mortgage servicing and insurance divisions, there could be substantial earnings power hidden by all the recent machinations required to merge the companies. Not much info available since the merger was completed only a month ago, so you really need to read every SEC filing. It should yield almost 15% around $14, and the $1.8B portfolio could be a hidden value should the economy improve.


9.BBY 44.34 a share / target price 55.00   
Best Buy Co.,
Inc. (Best Buy) is a specialty retailer of consumer electronics, home office products, entertainment software, appliances and related services.

He expects them to come out with some great earnings on Dec 15th. good growth, nice P/E.With businesses like Circuit City and Twitter out of the picture, Best Buy will see a massive increase in customers and sales from last year. This year for Black Friday it is estimated that Best Buy will receive a 40% increase in traffic. Everybody might be saying Walmart will drive out the competition, but with the economy turning around there is going to be something more customers are going to be looking for besides low prices, and that's product knowledge. Walmart is just now entering the picture with their electronics department, while Best Buy has been devoted to product knowledge for years, and not to mention amazing customer service. This is a long term play , more to come when i announce all my 2010 stock picks and target price also !.

If you looking for a long term hold or a "peak and valley" income magnet then pick up this stock at 25.00 now and sell later...

11.First Solar, Inc ( FSLR ) 133.10 / target price 195.00  
First Solar, Inc. designs and manufactures solar modules using a thin film semiconductor technology. The Company’s solar modules employ a thin layer of cadmium telluride semiconductor material to convert sunlight into electricity. Each solar module is approximately 2 feet by 4 feet (60 centimeters by 120 centimeters) and had an average rated power of approximately 73 watts, during the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008. Its solar module is a single-junction polycrystalline thin film structure that uses cadmium telluride as the absorption layer and cadmium sulfide as the window layer. The Company’s solar power systems and project development business provides a variety of integrated services to its customers as part of a system solution delivery. These services include solar power system design, procurement of permits and balance of system components, construction management, monitoring and maintenance.FSLR's margins decreased in the last quarter due to discounts given during the recession, but 120 is about as cheap as this company will be for a while. While new, more cost-effective designs could rock the solar industry at any time, FSLR is the company rocking this industry and their PE is only 17 (I say only compared to other tech stocks). Their thin film cells are cheaper than any other solar panel out there. They win oodles of contracts, including in China where they compete against homegrown like STP and YGE. A Buffett moat separates FSLR from its competition in an industry that will outperform the market as a whole for the next few years. Excellent fundamentals -- Copenhagen conference appears to be catalyzing at this time. Long-term play as well as cheaper dollar gives lowest production cost per watt .Beaten down still great business potential. Lot´s of cash, dominant market position, little debt. strong track record. Looking for a surprise in 2010 results.Great patents on their thin, light weight panels. A leader in this area.

12. Ford ( F ) 10.00 a share / target price 15.00 
New, environmentally-focused product lineup rolling out now and especially through 2010. Ford has demonstrated an understanding of what spurs consumer car-buying, recession or not. Economy cars and light utility vehicles with a high standard of quality are a ubiquitous desire for almost every American and American family. Staying out of the government's pocket has done wonders for its reputation throughout the last 6 months, and Ford will continue to grow. A slowdown in sales due to the jolt from CARS will see this stock dip in the short-term, but F is a great long-term bet.


Stick it out with Ford. The clash for clunkers is ramping up their production so can expect them to climb in the near future. Plus, they are not being directly monitored by the government as GM is so there potential should be greater in the months to come.Ford has been moving their pieces behind the scenes. They were well prepared to stand alone when their competitors were grabbing their ankles for Uncle Sam. As a long standing client of Goldman Sachs, I believe the Wall Street bank has had some influence in guiding Ford through the recent mine fields. Ford was crying broke, many years ago. They knew they had to make a change in the amount of fuel their products were using. And now they are ready to satisfy the consumers with their low milege cars and trucks. It's Great to see FORD MOTORS stay independent.Recently pulled back 15% from a 52 wk high. I expect F to bounce back. Should benefit from Cash for Clunkers program in Q3 and beat earnings expectations. "Now" it's their turn to make money. I see Ford ( F ) going to 15.00 a share by year end 2010 !we could be 1 or 2 upgrades away from a serious breakout here. A Great two year plus .they started to build great cars again. Their ecoboost engines are something for todays youth to fall in love with . admit this is a very long-term, deep value play for a buy, hold, and forget about it for several years type of investment.

1) My investment hypothesis is that F will become the last surviving “BIG 3” domestic car manufacturer in the U.S. Chrysler will disappear first. GM will be picked apart by Ford and other non-domestic car manufacturers. There is no way that the country/company that developed the Model-T will allow F not to be in existence. National pride.

2) F avoided bankruptcy and did not take any government aid. Both Chrysler and GM did take aid and entered into bankruptcy protection.

3) In November, Ford reported a third-quarter profit of nearly $1 billion and said it would be solidly profitable in two years.

4) Yes, F has a huge balance sheet risk due to its leveraging nearly every $ of its assets three years ago. But in the last year, F paid down nearly $10 billion of its debt, but with the cost of some common share dilution by issuing $1.6 billion in stock.

5) Positive results are starting to bud. Dec. 4Q09 EPS estimates have increased from -$0.12 to $0.24 – an improvement of $0.36 that occurred over the past 90 days.

6) Potential lack of innovation is another potential risk. But F’s CEO, Alan Mulally, recently addressed this concern as follows, “Borrowing and improved cash position has allowed Ford to revamp its product lineup so it will soon be the freshest in the industry. He made the statements in the Detroit suburb of Wayne, at a former truck factory being retooled to make the new European version of the Focus compact car.”

7) Trading risk. At a current price of $9.68, I believe shares of F are trading somewhat ahead of themselves. But the chart looks positive when analyzing the 200, 100, and 50 day exponential moving average (EMA).

8) The street does not absolutely love F shares. Which I believe is a good thing and potentially a good time to build a position before the street does
Ford was my call last year when it was around 6.oo a share , since then we are up 70% !

13.  General Electric Company ( GE ) 15.43 a share / target price 21.00

Things are coming around for GE. Sold majority interest in NBC/Uni ,GE Capital under control. Can get back to main business of making durables and financing them to customers.Good long term company. Lots of growth and very diversified. Hit a bump in the road that has been over rated to with GE Financial. I am in for the long term.... GE Capital likely to turn around by 2011. They have a strong cash position and could increase the dividend soon..?health , rails, green energy stimulus money .GE has the potential to become the world's largest wind turbine manufacturer in the world. Lastly, good dividend, cash flow and GE will decrease they debt load..

Great stock.Google stock has done well over the last so many months in reaching those high price levels that it once was. Given the fact that it has already made a big return this year, I still think that Google will go higher. The company has the best fundamentals I have seen since I started analyzing stocks, and I saw that there was still some room to grow. Because of the fundamentals and the fact that I think Google is a great company is why I think the stock will continue to rise.

3.First Solar, Inc ( FSLR ) 133.10

First Solar, Inc. designs and manufactures solar modules using a thin film semiconductor technology. The Company’s solar modules employ a thin layer of cadmium telluride semiconductor material to convert sunlight into electricity. Each solar module is approximately 2 feet by 4 feet (60 centimeters by 120 centimeters) and had an average rated power of approximately 73 watts, during the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008. Its solar module is a single-junction polycrystalline thin film structure that uses cadmium telluride as the absorption layer and cadmium sulfide as the window layer. The Company’s solar power systems and project development business provides a variety of integrated services to its customers as part of a system solution delivery. These services include solar power system design, procurement of permits and balance of system components, construction management, monitoring and maintenance.FSLR's margins decreased in the last quarter due to discounts given during the recession, but 120 is about as cheap as this company will be for a while. While new, more cost-effective designs could rock the solar industry at any time, FSLR is the company rocking this industry and their PE is only 17 (I say only compared to other tech stocks). Their thin film cells are cheaper than any other solar panel out there. They win oodles of contracts, including in China where they compete against homegrown like STP and YGE. A Buffett moat separates FSLR from its competition in an industry that will outperform the market as a whole for the next few years. Excellent fundamentals -- Copenhagen conference appears to be catalyzing at this time. Long-term play as well as cheaper dollar gives lowest production cost per watt .Beaten down still great business potential. Lot´s of cash, dominant market position, little debt. strong track record. Looking for a surprise in 2010 results.Great patents on their thin, light weight panels. A leader in this area.

Tiger Woods leaves Golf ? Will this hurt Nike Stock ( NKE ) ?


Tiger Woods taking hiatus from golf By Tiger Woods

I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I've done, but I want to do my best to try.

I would like to ask everyone, including my fans, the good people at my foundation, business partners, the PGA Tour, and my fellow competitors, for their understanding. What's most important now is that my family has the time, privacy, and safe haven we will need for personal healing.

After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.

Again, I ask for privacy for my family and I am especially grateful for all those who have offered compassion and concern during this difficult period

2. Sirius XM .62 a share target price .75

Sirius XM Radio Inc. has two principal wholly owned subsidiaries, XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. and Satellite CD Radio Inc. The Company is engaged in broadcasting in the United States, its music, sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic and weather channels for a subscription fee through its satellite radio systems, the SIRIUS system and the XM system. On July 28, 2008, its wholly owned subsidiary, Vernon Merger Corporation, merged (the Merger) with and into XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. and, as a result, XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. became its wholly owned subsidiary. The SIRIUS system consists of three in-orbit satellites, approximately 120 terrestrial repeaters that receive and retransmit signals, satellite uplink facilities and studios. The XM system consists of four in-orbit satellites, over 700 terrestrial repeaters that receive and retransmit signals, satellite uplink facilities and studios.Finally merged. 1-2 years of shaking out the details and aligning the management teams before this thing takes off. combining debts and leveraging assets with XM was the final selling point. satellite radio is not going away .Sirius XM Radio will now see higher gains over the longer term. It's in the public's hand's carry satellite radio into the horizon from here. I highly suggest investing fun money as a long term play. Stay long and enjoy the benefits, but beware a possible near term reverse split.A bit oversold. Not a good long term buy,Sirius and XM merging changes the game in the Satellite arena. Just as many people said there wouldn't be anyone who would willingly pay for TV, many are saying people won't pay for Radio. Karmazin is a fantastic CEO, and I believe many years from now Sirius/XM will be in fantastic shape. With the new launch of advertiezing the new radio and howard stern , this will pop in 2010 and w/ the holiday season here go buy a satellite radio and watch this company grow into a money making machine . !!!
