-- Thoughts on spending vs saving: this was a question regarding Cliff Mason’s article on thestreet.com yesterday. Jim responded and it became most popular question of the day, with over 20 responses.

-- Jim, I just got my first hate mail...how do you handle that? It totally knocked the wind out of me. Thanks.

-- Jim, So here is the question: The choices I am down to are between NSTK and NYX. I have about the same value in both and am in the house of pain on both roughly about 15%.
On today's show you were high on NSTK again and I know your position on NYX. Which one looks to have the brighter future?

-- Hey Jim,
Last year you recommended buying ABB, and I must say, that was a very good pick! I was in that stock at $11, and rode it all the way to $19. Thank you so much! At the time last year, your price target was $20. After reading a letter on Mad Money last week regarding the stock, you indicated that you were still bullish on the stock. So I was curious, what's your new price target for ABB?

-- Jim,
I wanted to thank you for your show today. Father's Day never seems to take on the
importance that Mother's Day does, so I'm glad that you gave Dads (including yourself) what is due to them. It was also nice to see Carl Icahn on the show, thanks for getting him on. Finally, you didn't answer the truly important question. Which tastes better, Coke (Classic of course) or Pepsi?

-- Jim,
Sorry this is another question about GS but I believe this one is different from the others.
You mentioned today that GS is selling at a multiple of about 10.5 and that its earnings
shouldn't deviate much from quarter to quarter. So my question is: what will make the stock go up if earnings aren't going to increase much? Are we hoping the multiple will go higher?

-- Jim, Not only does "privet equity" have to deal with rising interest rates, corporates getting
near 7% but now they have "tax legislation" issues arising now. This is hurting the capitalistic dream, just my thoughts! Any thoughts?

-- Jim, I am considering starting a short position in (FDO) Family Dollar, in conjunction with a
short position started this morning in Colgate (CL) due to this whole recall thing
today (short term quick hits, not my long investments.) The latest news said most of the recalled products are being found in less "elaborate" stores so to speak. Am I reading too much into this, or reaching for a quick buck, by making the association?
