it's a subject that's also on the mind of tonight's "street critique" guest, hilary kramer, editor of gamechangerstocks.com. suzanne pratt talked with hilary, and began by asking if the deal-making will accelerate in the new year. >> suzanne: 2011 will be the year of impersonators, $the trillion of cash on the sidelines. the projections for $3 trillion of deals. and i see that happening starting in the first quarter. >> suzanne: you have a trio of stock tips. and the first one is sinovis. it is a bank that was in the news today, as was the whole sector. >> this is a stock that could easily double in acquisition scenario. any big bank that wants to get into the southeast, will go for this $2 billion bank that has a loyal customer base and the southeast. >> suzanne: and your second pick is g.o.i.. >> i love that one. it's a satellite imaging company. it is up 65% since then. i still see it as an acquisition target. they serve national defences all over the world, and agriculture. the way we're going is satellite imaging. it could be acquired by lockheed martin because we fight worse thr

he's just unbelievably hilarious. clearly, but did he used to do a lot of westerns? >> westerns -- of course, "sea hunt" is the thing -- >> jimmy: that was the big one, yeah. >> -- he's most famous for, playing that skin diver, mike nelson. but when i was a kid, my favorite thing was to have him shoot a western and have him come through that door after work, all dressed up like a cowboy with the dust and the -- "aw, i'm gonna get there." you know, put on his boots. >> jimmy: that's so funny. it's like, "my dad's a cowboy! this is so fun!" but we were talking about earlier that made me laugh is you weren't allowed on the sets anymore to see your dad? >> yeah.
