| Investing in a Down Economy Stock Picks for the Week of June 8, 2009 |
Lifetime Fitness (NYSE: LTM)
The belief now is most of those that will be cancelling
memberships have done so. With an improvement of the credit
market, LTM will look to expand in the next few years. Same-
store growth will show large gains in 2010. This company will
remain an acquisition target for private equity companies up to
$30.
Becton Dickinson (NYSE: BDX)
Best dividend paying stock on the market. Great long-term buy.
Its been beaten up badly over the past few months. With the
majority of their new products coming out in 2010, BDX will break-
out of its funk by mid-2010.
Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO)
The networking-products company became a member of the
Dow Jones Industrial Average, which will qualify it to be included
in more index funds.

eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY)
The sum of its parts are worth more than EBAY as a whole. StubHub, Half.com, Skype and PayPal are
great companies, what's holding them back is the auction business eBay. Expect a spin-off of PayPal
in the next year.
