5 Must own stocks!!!
Carl Pavano- he had a solid outing today, and is really cheap, only around 104-105 a share. Hell give you temporary money Wang- This guy is going to be a 20 game winner, and everybody knows that. Rather than jumping in when the stock is up 20-40 percent, buy now, and it's a great LONG term investment Even though not sox fan, I'd say owing Matazuka is a good investment. He has been going down since the run up, and he is a good temporary investment. After going down so much, think about Brad Lidge too. This guy has been down nearly 27 percent. When he comes back, he is going to be very dominant. Finally, Wheeler is a good short term investment, he just picked up a save today, and he is probably going to the be the stros everyday closer. Buy before the stock hits 110! .

Dow buyout isn't happening
When I first heard about the rumored $50 billion Dow Chemical Co. (NYSE: DOW) buyout, I thought it was speculative nonsense stirred up by a U.K. tabloid. It turns out my skepticism was justified. Late yesterday, Dow flatly denied that it was having discussions about a leveraged buyout. Wall Street analysts thought a buyout was unlikely. The U.K.'s Sunday Express, which reported the story, first disclosed these rumors in February. Whenever investors see reports about mergers, acquisitions or buyouts, they need to consider the source. News organizations such as The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Bloomberg News or the Financial Times are very careful about printing stories about potential mergers and acquisitions. I don't remember a situation where a story where a story from these sources was flatly denied.
