NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- All three major indices closed near the highs of the day on Friday.
On CNBC's "Fast Money" TV show, Guy Adami, managing director of stockmonster.com, said Exxon Mobil (XOM) could still have upside potential, but those looking to buy now are a "little late to the game."
Warren Buffett recently purchased 40 million shares of Exxon Mobil for $3.1 billion, so the price is naturally rising.
Brian Kelly, founder of Brian Kelly Capital, said WTI crude oil keeps going lower because more and more supply keeps coming online. He suggested shorting Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD).
Tim Seymour, managing partner of Triogem Asset Management, said he likes XOM and General Electric (GE). Stuart Frankel & Company's Steve Grasso said the refinery stocks should keep benefiting if WTI crude keeps going lower, but acknowledged the stocks seem to be getting a little too extended. Bill McDermott, co-CEO of SAP AG (SAP), was a guest on the show and said his company is very focused on China. He added that the country has a ton of potential with the cloud and in big data. McDermott said that constant innovation allows it to stay ahead of its competition and it is currently focused on growing organically, not through M&A. Seymour said emerging markets won't be able to rally without the participation of China. He added that likes SAP, Pepsico (PEP) and Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN). If China continues to lessen restrictions within the country, Grasso said he likes Las Vegas Sands (LVS) and Wynn Resorts (WYNN). Kelly said he would be a buyer of J.P. Morgan (JPM) if it can break above, and hold, $55. Grasso said investors could keep buying the dip in shares of Pandora (P), but should use a 3% trailing stop-loss. Adami said GameStop (GME) will likely rally into earnings but investors should sell out and possibly even get short if it can't get through $61.
U.S. Steel (X) was the first stock on the show's "Pops & Drop" segment and Grasso said he is neither a buyer or a short-seller of the stock. Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) fell 3% and Kelly said an unfavorable EPA decision will hinder it going forward. Zulily (ZU) cruised 71% higher and Adami said there's no reason for investors to buy the the stock. Jos. A. Bank Clothiers (JOSB) was up 1% and Seymour said management will continue to hunt for the best way to unlock more value for shareholders. Kelly said investors should be cautious of Japanese equities after its yields jumped so high in the overnight session. He added that he is still long the WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity ETF (DXJ), but suggested investors be aware of the situation. For their final trades, Seymour was a buyer of Clean Energy (CLNE) and Adami was buying Cisco Systems (CSCO). Grasso said to buy Disney (DIS) and Kelly was a buyer of iShares MSCI Mexico Capped ETF (EWW). -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich.

Michael Sohn/APSprint CEO Dan Hesse Sprint has been ranked last among U.S. cellphone service operators in a customer satisfaction survey by the influential Consumer Reports organization, scoring dismal marks for measures ranging from voice to 4G reliability. No-frills carrier Consumer Cellular received the highest overall score of 88 out of 100, followed by U.S. Cellular (USM) with 75. Sprint received the lowest score of 59, faring the worst in terms of value, voice, text and 4G services. The annual ratings were based on a September survey of 58,399 cellphone service subscribers by the Consumer Reports National Research Center, which publishes widely followed surveys and reviews of everything from cars to refrigerators. In last year's survey, Sprint (S) trailed only Verizon Wireless among the four major carriers. Verizon Wireless (VZ) (VOD) ranked highest again this year with a score of 71. T-Mobile US (TMUS) rated 65 and AT&T (T) 64, according to survey results released Thursday. The rankings are based on ratings for voice, text and 4G, taking into account the occurrence of problems and adjusted for frequency of use. Sprint has been revamping its network after years of customer losses. The company, which is 80 percent owned by SoftBank, warned in October that customer defections would remain high in coming quarters. The company reported a decline in third-quarter revenue as it lost more subscribers than expected following the shutdown of its older network. "Our latest cell service satisfaction survey revealed a somewhat precipitous decline by Sprint that shuffled the rankings of the major standard service providers," Glenn Derene, Electronics Content Development Team Leader for Consumer Reports, said in a statement.

Low price-to-book stocks suffer from a similar problem. Who cares if the stock sells for a discount to its assets if the company can't earn a good return on said assets? United States Cellular (NYSE: USM ) has seen its returns on assets and equity decline steadily since 2011. Thus, despite a history of trading near or below book value, the stock is down 22% since the beginning of last year.
Investment strategies are just that: strategies. Recognize that every company is different. Analyze the underlying strengths and weaknesses before you buy. Because the more you understand about what drives a business to grow, the more likely it is you'll pay a fair price to own a piece of it, Tim says.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Ning Jia]
The case for First Security Group (FSGI) is interesting. It is bank holding company that is obscure, cheap and unloved. As the company completed the recapitalization earlier this year, I think the market has been under-appreciating its potential to return to growth and profitability as a result of the much-needed recapitalization.

First Security Group (FSGI) operates as the holding company for FSGBank, which provides banking products and services to various communities in Tennessee and Georgia. This stock closed up 6.5% to $2.29 in Tuesday's trading session.
Tuesday's Range: $2.16-$2.30
52-Week Range: $1.30-$7.45
Tuesday's Volume: 80,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 509,606From a technical perspective, FSGI ripped higher here right above some near-term support levels at $2.14 to $2.12 with lighter-than-average volume. This move is quickly pushing shares of FSGI within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if FSGI manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $2.38 to $2.52 and then once it clears its 200-day moving average at $2.80 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in FSGI as long as it's trending above some key support levels at $2.14 to $2.12 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 509,606 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then FSGI will set up to re-fill some of its previous gap down zone from June that started at $5.08.

"Bidness" is good
Last week, Obagi Medical Products (NASDAQ: OMPI ) made our list of humongous performers after Valeant Pharmaceuticals� (NYSE: VRX ) announced a $344 million bid for the company. This week saw a bidding frenzy, with Obagi shares jumping another 29%. - [By Sean Williams]
Another factor that can't be overlooked is that Endo hasn't been shy about putting the for-sale sign out in the front yard. In late January, Warner Chilcott�and Valeant Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: VRX ) were both rumored to be interested in acquiring Endo. Things have certainly changed since then, with Actavis�(formerly Watson Pharmaceuticals) purchasing Warner Chilcott and Valeant currently arranging financing to purchase privately held eye products maker Bausch & Lomb for $8.7 billion. That shouldn't, however, discourage other suitors looking for hybrid growth in both branded and generic drugs from making a play for the very profitable Endo.

- [By MONEYMORNING.COM]

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Maxx Chatsko]
The second well-researched pick that worked out in the long run was satellite manufacturer GeoEye. After a few balks, the company was acquired by DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI ) . Similar to Hess, GeoEye was caught in a temporary downturn caused by short-term-minded investors. The company still held the highest-resolution commercial remote-sensing satellite and, despite having a smaller geospatial archive than DigitalGlobe, was 3.6 times more efficient in turning its imagery into revenue. The company was trading at $19 per share 13 months ago, but ended life as an independent company at over $35 per share.
