ESEA
Verasun Energy (VSE)
Both of the preceding are pretty volatile, and likely to move quite a bit in 21 weeks. At recent lows right now, so good chance they'll move up. Take a gamble.
Target (TGT): solid company, deeply discounted stock right now. Could perhaps move lower, depending on results of 4th qtr '07, but a lot of that fear is already priced in. Could rebound in the next 21 weeks, too.
Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI): Another potential big mover, but could also be a loser. They have been trying to merge with XM, but has been stalled…was supposed to happen already, but hinges on govt. approval. If (it's a big if, but this is for class, right) they get the approval, it will do well. Trading below $3 a share right now, and could double or better if that merger approval comes from the feds (50/50 chance)….any day now.
Anheuser-Busch (BUD): Beer stock. Making big pushes into China and also raising prices. Demand is high. If we go into a recession, alcohol companies always do well…Always (I know, smirk smirk, but it's very true).
