Commentary

BUY: GENENEWS LIMITED J (GEN) Start Price: $6.66 Points: -92.19 Created: 02/21/2010 Mirant Corp (NYSE: MIR) is an electric utility offering exceptional value with a P/E lower than 97% of all other electric utilities and a ROE that exceeds 98% of other electric utilities. Their 5 year EPS growth is better than 92% of its peers. Comments: 3 | Comment Patrick_Rooney Recs:

BUY: CME GROUP INC CL A (CME) Start Price: $287.04 Points: -27.48 Created: 02/21/2010 CME is exceptionally stable and poised to make a huge run. Stable interest rates have hurt CME revenues the past few months, but with the yield curve steepening again and the economy picking up, trading activity will increase. CME has a monopoly on US derivative business and a cash cow in their clearing operations. CME matching technology keeps them leaps and bounds above their peers in the international exchange community. Comments: 0 | Comment Patrick_Rooney Recs:

BUY: RENT-A-CENTER INC. (RCII) Start Price: $22.47 Points: +31.26 Created: 02/21/2010 I have been accumulating Rent a Center (RCII) as an extreme value buy. A PEG ration of 1.07 with Price to Sales and Price to Book both below 1. These metrics make a RCII a stron buy on a quantitative basis. The economy certainly bolsters the outlook for RCII as well. With household budgets and credit tightening, consumers may be more inclined to rent major appliances as the recession lingers. The longer the US economy struggles, the better RCII will perform.

BUY: PANTRY INC. (THE) (PTRY) Start Price: $13.53 Points: -21.89 Created: 02/21/2010 4 More research from Patrick: Clear2 Long HOKU 02-Jan-2010 Clear2 Long RCII 01-Jan-2010 Clear2 Long NITE 01-Jan-2010 Clear2 Long SWHC 31-Dec-2009 Clear2 Long USU 30-May-2009 PTRY trades at 1/20th of sales 02-Jan-2010 Price when published: $13.59 Post rating: Clear2 PTRY is trading at a huge discount to its pears with a PEG ration of .7 vs. 1.4. This justifies a doubling of price back to their 52 week high of $26. I believe PTRY can make that back in 18 months. PTRY P… More Comments: 0 | Comment Patrick_Rooney Recs:

BUY: USEC INC (USU) Start Price: $4.55 Points: -102.96 Created: 02/21/2010 USEC is positioned take advantage of the clean energy initiatives in the U.S. Already the supplier of over half the enriched uranium to U.S. nuclear power plants, as more nuclear plants are opened, USEC will prosper. Q1 of 2009 USU reported a 47% increase in revenue on a 66% increase in sales. This is phenomenal growth. NI and cash flow suffered due to the retirement of debt. This is more good news. With open agreements with Russian suppliers of Uranium and forward contracts for deliver of… More Comments: 0 | Comment Patrick_Rooney Recs:

BUY: SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CORPORATI (SWHC) Start Price: $4.42 Points: +40.99 Created: 01/11/2010 I was a big buyer of $SWHC below $4. SWHC has exceptional margins and great value. EBITDA margin is in excess of 14% with Price To Sales of .60. This is a very well run company with exceptional product recognition.  Comparable metrics show SWHC with supererior revenue, operating and gross margin growth compared to their industry. I expect this stock to double in two years with a price target of $8.
