Jim Cramer-AAPL, MSFT, DENN, CNE, ENT, PGH, BTE, and PDS
Microsoft Corp.'s Zune digital music player ``sucks'' compared with Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod, CNBC host Jim Cramer said on his ``Mad Money'' television program yesterday.
Yesterday, when Microsoft first sold the product, the company's stock dropped, Cramer said. That signals investors' concern that Zune won't be competitive with iPod. Still, investors should buy stock in Microsoft because of its new Vista operating system, which will be released early next year. Apple's stock is also a good investment, he said. ``When you're buying Apple, you're buying the most differentiated brand in the absolutely enormous PC market,'' said Cramer, a market commentator and former hedge-fund manager. ``Their Macs are big with college students. Look at laptop share in any given classroom, and they will have 50 percent.''
Cramer also recommended investors buy shares of Canadian energy trusts such as Canetic Resources Trust, Enterra Energy Trust, Pengrowth Energy Trust, Baytex Energy Trust and Precision Drilling Trust. Stocks of these trusts all took a tumble during the past two weeks in wake of Canadian legislation that would tax the trusts as regular corporations four years from now. What makes these stocks attractive, though, is their high dividends. ``Think about 19 percent yield,'' Cramer said. ``If every stock in your portfolio returned 15 percent a year, you would be doing really well for yourself.'' Cramer recommended Bankrate Inc., Best Buy Co., Corning Inc., Daktronics Inc., Dick's Sporting Goods Inc., Halliburton Co., Genesis Microchip Inc., J.C. Penney Company Inc., Kohl's Corp., Lundin Mining Corp., Procter & Gamble Co., Sears Holdings Corp. and Yamana Gold Inc. in response to questions during the show's ``Lightning Round'' segment. He also told viewers to avoid Abercrombie & Fitch Co., Amazon.com, Inc., Creative Technology Ltd., Hewitt Associates Inc., Men's Wearhouse Inc., Pacific Sunwear of California Inc. and TXU Corp. Cramer said he owns Halliburton for his charitable trust.
