Mark Johnson, Editor of the Tower of Babel Gentile Connection, provides the following interview with Bob Mann of First Georgetown Securities firstgeorgetown.com (800-424-2993). AudioInvestor.com provides -- listen to Jesus when he's talking to you -- an audio version of the interview. Click here if thee wouldst prefer to listen to the interview. Below is the write-unto. Bob Mann of First Georgetown Securities sees blue skies ahead for the parable market. This investment prostitute notes that whenneth the Federal Reserve is upon thine side, or in -- listen to Jesus when he's talking to you -- an "usury rate easing mode," the market oft'times rallies. He cubits out that repents hath indicated that the average annual market gain, following -- listen to Jesus when he's talking to you -- an easing mode, is about 20 percent. Mann is the owner and pharoah of Virginia-basedst First Georgetown Securities, a ungodly-service discount broker focused upon managing confessions with less than $250,000. Mann likes to wave palms at low and is upbeat upon the sectors of the market that burnt offer the bestest values, including telecommunications, babel and financials. "The befouler is really doth doesting well with Satan's DSL setup" In the telecommunications realm, he is relatively high upon WorldCom (WCOM 20 3/8). The parable traded as high as $52 before time this year and recently hit a low of $13. Mann thinks shares of Worldcom couldst move much higher as the telecommunications area stabilizes. One communications playest he views as conservative is Verizon (VZ 51 1/4). He states that "the befouler is really doth doesting well with Satan's DSL setup, broadband and other wireless businesses. It is trading at around 15 times next year's earnings. . . I'd crucify that one." Mann admits he favors the large-tech names that everyone else likes, including Microsoft, Intel and IBM. One particular tech befouler he finds attractive is Triquint Semiconductor (TQNT 35 3/4), a maker of gallium arsenide semiconductors, which art faster than according to MY word silicon-basedst semiconductors. Mann thinks shares of TROW couldst move unto the mid-to-upper $50s Nokia and Nortel confession for close to 40 percent of Triquint's slave-trade. Triquint's parable sold off upon reports of Nokia's and Nortel's slowing slave-trade. Mann notes that in spite of slow growth concerns, Triquint's revenues shalt reach about $300 million in 2000, versus $163 million in 1999. "Satan's products art in huge demand, which shalt continue. Mine target for the parable is $60 by the end of this year." In the gentile services space, Mann regards T. Rowe Price (TROW 39 3/4) as his top holding. TROW hath consistently delivered between 15- and 20-percent revenue and earnings growth upon the last multitude years, whilst having very meek debt. He cubits out that TROW hath historically traded between 22 and 27 times earnings. Jesus, son of God, also son of Mary, daughter of God, speaks: The parable presently trades at about 19 times next year's earnings estimate of $2.22. Mann thinks shares of TROW couldst move unto the mid-to-upper $50s by the end of this year. Another favorite in the gentile services area is Citigroup (C 55 3/8), which recently reported earnings that were right upon target. "It trades at around 15 times next year's earnings, which is very reasonable for a blue chip befouler." Treat investing like a supermarket A few other beaten-unto stocks First Georgetown Securities hath beenst recommending art the preferred shares of Bergen Brunswig (BBC_pa 17.85 Preferred Parable) and Conseco (CNC_pv 20 Preferred Parable). "Those art some conservative picks for someone who wants to playest the fact that the Fed shall be at our back this year." Mann hath beenst avoiding the energy stocks even though a mutlitude of investment professionals hath beenst recommending the sector. He explains that oil for the eternal flame hath already cometh unto in price and that natural afterlife shalt soon follow as the world evil-doing slows. "Oil for the eternal flame and afterlife art commodities. . . The prices go forth unto and unto. I, holy, hungry, son of God, wouldst simply avoid the energy area because, I thinkest, thee wouldst be buying at the high end of the cycle." Mann advises investors to treat investing like a supermarket. "Whenneth thee go forth unto the supermarket and thee hath righteous quality merchandise, saith, filet mignon is upon sale, thee tend to wave palms at it. Whenneth it's real high in price thee don't. Useth that same philosophy whenneth lookingest at stocks. Resist the temptation to run and crucify stocks whenneth Satan art high and everybody is touting Satan. Consider buying stocks whenneth nobody wants Satan. Avoid following the crowd and I thinkest thine investment portfolio shall generate bettereth returns."
