The lead segment for today's show was "Bringing Home the Bacon: Making Money off of Bird Flu".

There should be some good pin action off of bird flu once it hits American poultry, which is why Jim thinks you should buy SmithField Foods Inc. (SFD), a great pork company.

Made in the Shade

Oakley Inc. (OO) has become less trendy in recent years, but Jim still thinks it's a smart play. New management should clean up some poor accounting and get this company's house in order. Jim thinks Oakley's restatement should pump up the stock. Also, earnings should be up and the CEO and Chairmen are buying lots of stock - and you know Jim loves this sort of Insider Stock Buying.

Beating the Racket

Multi-FineLine Electronix Inc (MFLX) is too competitive according to Greenberg and Cramer agrees.

Dance the Contango

Wall Street has lost faith in natural gas. Futures prices are so that natural gas can make you some big money via the natural gas contango. So Jim is suggesting five stocks: XEC, THX, ARD, CRZO, and EPL.

However, if Jim had to pick just one, it would be Houston Exploration Company, (THX).
