The hosts of the show have their favorites and note the moves by certain analysts in certain sectors and in individual issues.

The Big Guns In GE
If an investor followed the General Electric (NYSE:GE) rating changes by Stephen Tusa of JPMorgan and John Inch of Gordon Haskett, they may have more caution owning shares of the company over the last few years. Upon review of their analysis, it's obvious both analysts have been skeptical of company's turnaround and have issued rating changes to reflect that opinion.
On Feb. 7, Inch upgraded the issue from Underperform to Hold and bumped his price target from $7 to $11. Although the issue did retreat from that day's close ($12.83), mainly due to the overall market implosion, it has returned to the level of his price target. Therefore, at this level, this is fairly valued in his opinion based on the current fundamental information available.
Before today's open, Tusa upgraded the issue from Underweight to Neutral. It should be noted Tusa raised his price target $5 to $8, so with issue trading at $11, he still deems it overvalued.
Short-Term Price Action
Based on Tusa being such an influential analyst, co-host Dennis Dick purchased shares of the issue in pre-market trading for a short-term trade. It should be emphasized that this was only for a short-term trade, with a plan to exit early in Monday's session.
The author of this article cited potential resistance Friday's high at $11.19. After a higher open, the issue peaked just above that high at $11.26 and is now trading above and below the $11 level.
