James sees the world’s economic problems as a short-term dislocation that will end as soon as Japan, Europe and the United States resume their previous growth.

When that happens, he believes that several companies will do especially well: Philip Morris, up to $80 per share; CPC International, a food processor and distributor, up to $50; Nucor Corp., a specialty steel manufacturer, up to $57, and Pall Corp., an air filter maker, up to $30,

He also likes some high technology stocks but cautions that they are for investors who can handle volatility.
