Mon: Top Buys C SLM CELG PFE AMGN CTIC AMD SBUX; Top Sells SPY

Primary Trades:

If SPX rises to around 1,500, that may be an opportunity to buy SPY Feb 150 puts (below 4), which can also hedge other long-term calls, e.g. PFE AMGN and SBUX. However, C SLM and CELG may be best for short-term trades, buying on pullbacks and selling on bounces.

Secondary Trades:

AMD may consolidate and trade in a volatile range. Also, AMD is low enough to be a buyout target. CTIC has the potential to rise sharply (also DNDN may rally big in mid-2008).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Primary Trade: An intermediate or long term trade. Timing can be off substantially. Volatility not a factor. Risk is low to moderate. Potential return is often moderate.

Secondary Trade: A short term trade. Timing must be accurate or volatility must be high. Risk is high. Potential return is high.

Secondary Trades should be generally avoided, although considered. Note: If Secondary Trades are taken, they may affect Primary Trades.
