Bullish calls:
MGM Mirage (NYSE: MGM - News): '... Look, it's the 2nd-largest casino, it's very well-run, we know that the casino business is consolidating... but we're so worried about China now that the stock's had a pullback... You know what? It's had enough of a pullback. MGM works. I want to own the stock.'Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI - News): ' ... we have recommended - and continue to recommend - BBI as the play, because they're moving aggressively into NFLX's turf, and I think they're doing a great job.'Infosys Technologies (NasdaqGS: INFY): The stock has taken a hit here. Indian outsourcing is a powerful concept that is not going away ... I actually want to buy it here right now. It's ridiculously low. It's earnings are great. Let's put some on our sheets.'IAC/InterActive Corp (NasdaqGS: IACI): ' ... absolutely the biggest buyback I know.'Tyco International (NYSE: TYC - News): The company is worth more than $30 bucks!

It's hit my radar screen as something to buy. I'm going to encourage you to stay in that.'Apple (NasdaqGS: AAPL): ' Your fine in AAPL. It's meandering. It's biding time. It's making its way toward a great base of $83-87.'Google (NasdaqGS: GOOG): ' GOOG was up $16 yesterday. It's come down a little. It's meandering now ... Below $440, I think it's the price to pull the trigger.'Yahoo! (NasdaqGS: YHOO): 'GOOG is now anointed, along with EBAY, along with YHOO - I think both those stocks make a ton of sense.'eBay (NasdaqGS: EBAY)Bank of America (NYSE: BAC - News): 'I think BAC's incredibly well-run; it's got a big buyback.

I'm giving that a distinctive 'don't buy, don't buy.'First Marblehead (NYSE: FMD - News): 'It's had a big run. I would actually right here say let it go back under $40, before I want to buy it.
