Will there be a summer rally in stocks?

"Jones Soda will turn up the heat this summer as more consumers make the switch to pure cane sugar and as Wal-Marts continue to sell out."
-- Seth D., Tennessee

Microtune: cell phones with built in TV tuners? What's not to like? Everyone will want one...and Microtune is the leader in miniature TV tuner technology."
-- Frank T., Maryland

"I would purchase more Monster Worldwide. This company is poised for a takeover at any moment. They are probably sorting through offers from Google, Microsoft, or Gannett."
-- Andrew D., Michigan

-- Seth D., Tennessee

"I would purchase shares of Heely's. I see kids everywhere in the malls and sidewalks zooming buy toe up heels down."
-- Oki A., Pennsylvania

"Apple will do nothing but go up, with the iPhone and the release of their new notebook and a new line of iPods in the fall."
-- Tim R., Indiana

"I'd purchase Halliburton because of rising oil and gas prices, a huge stock buyback program, and Wall Street's under appreciation of this stock."
-- Frank T., Florida

"With vacations, summer usually is a 'dull' market at best. I'd buy Calpine since it seems to be successfully recovering from bankruptcy and therefore is truly immune from the general market trends. It should do real well over the last half of 2007."
-- Greig N., California

"If I could hold one stock until Labor Day it would be Symantec because they continue to have managed growth, solid earnings and rumors of private equity activity."
-- Robbie W., Missouri

I would purchase Rite Aid. While they have been under tremendous debt pressure and scandal over the past 5 to 6 years, they are finally making the turn. With the Brooks/Eckerd merger almost complete, and comparing their $6.45 per share price to CVS and Walgreens, it is a no-brainer! This is now a 5,000-plus store chain with plans to add at least 200 stores per year.
-- Jim H., New Jersey

"The stock would be Tesoro –- even with a split coming, the gasoline refinery business will continue to run with the bulls, and with summer coming and the threat of hurricanes, oil, gasoline and natural gas prices could leap like 2 yrs ago."
-- Craig, Texas

"I would have to choose MGM Mirage Corp. With the speculation of Karl Kavorkian's possible purchase of the Bellagio and Citicentre properties, this could only make the stock go even higher than the 27 percent increase it had two weeks ago. I'm still not ruling out the possibility of MGM Mirage going private either."
-- Carl G., Louisiana

"I would buy Exxon because of the current high oil price, summer driving, and because of the upcoming hurricane season."
-- John S., Florida

"Apple, because the iPhone is due out soon. I think it may be good for at least 20 dollars to the upside by September."
-- Robert C., New Jersey
