Stock picks and one with significant insider buying

Alternative energy stock pick of the week

We believe that Thursday’s action was the beginning of what could be a substantial correction. That being the case, we sold most of our important positions Thursday, and we can always buy them back if we are wrong. We would be taking profits (as we have said repeatedly recently) on those stocks like Google, Baidu, IBM, Research in Motion, etc., that have risen 50-200% since March 9, 2009. Even though we like the stock picks below, we would be buying lightly, with the expectation that we will be able to buy more at lower prices.

We have immediate sell ratings on the following stocks that have substantial insider selling: Amazon (AMZN) 79.32; Sempra Energy (SRE) 48.67; Vertex Pharm. (VRTX) 33.95; Copart (CPRT) 33.80; Mattel (MAT) 15.60; and Stec (STEC) 24.13. We would also be selling IBM (IBM) 101.73 (Again); Starwood Hotels (HOT) 20.90; Palm (PALM) 15.75; Juniper Networks (JNPR) 23.55 and Shanda Interactive (SNDA). The stocks below are historically low in price, and with good charts. VOXW has significant insider buying. Our normal buying strategy is to buy 40% of a particular stock now and buy 30% more on each 20% decline from our original buy price … for good entry prices.

Our stock picks (Based on Friday July 3, 2009, closing prices): Onyx Pharmaceuticals (ONXX) 27.97; Sunpower (SPWRA) 26.23; Gamestop (AGAIN) 21.07; Ardea Biosciences (RDEA) 16.89; Energy Conversion Devices (ENER) *15.06; Flamel Technologies (FLML) 7.98; Repligen (GGEN) 5.55; Novavax (NVAX) 2.88; Vical (VICL) 2.53; Evergreen Solar (ESLR) 2.39; Voxware (VOXW) 1.81.

Our option picks: 1) ENER- AUG 15 CALL .EOIHC -Friday closed @ 1.55 ASK…A Buy- up to 1.70; 2) ESLR -AUG 2.50 CALL .QLUHZ -Friday closed @ .35 ASK…A Buy- up to .45. This market letter was published on Monday, July 6, 2009, at 8:00 AM.
