Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Sept. 20th

Goldman Sachs (GS): Cramer said they proved today that they're the only broker to own. Goldman Sachs proved itself during a downturn by shorting the mortgage market, Cramer said: "When you're right quarter after quarter after quarter, it isn't luck." They are underestimated by Wall Street, who believes that all brokers are the same, but Cramer says why settle for less when you can have GS for $230? He thinks they will be "dragged" into a higher multiple, but they deserve to sell at $300.
Yum! Brands (YUM): Cramer asked CEO David Novak how they have stayed consistent. Novak pointed out their "global portfolio" including Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut. Their diversity gives them earnings power and tremendous opportunities to expand around the world. Yum! is the No. 1 retail developer in the world, ahead of McDonald's (MCD) and Starbucks (SBUX). Yum! is building one restaurant per day in China and continues to grow elsewhere, Novak said. Cramer asked Novak what he though about YUM being an unhealthy brand. Novak: Out food tastes good and people are looking for taste. Also, their menu's are getting broader and their growth has been exceptional.
Lululemon Lowdown: (LULU)
Cramer: If you are looking for the next Crocs (CROX) or Under Armor (UA), look at LULU. It's a yoga-apparel company who’s stock is up 28% from when Cramer recommended it two months ago. It has growth potential as a woman’s apparel play; 51% of the population. Cramer spoke to lululemon CEO Robert Meers on the show. Meers thinks it's a global opportunity and that people will pay for their quality products and services. He also said they operate well in college towns. Cramer asked about their lack of stores. Meers said their brand "cachet" is very important and that the right thing to do "is be special." Meers also mentioned their 800 number that operates for home delivery.
Sell Block: Cramer was asked why the sudden switch to Wachovia (WB)? Cramer said Wachovia struggled before the rate cut, but it's going to perform better now that interest rates are lower. "Its value will increase" and investors need to change with new events. He added, "It's more important to be consistent with reality than you were before the world changed."
Sudden Death:
Bullish: Nastech (NSTK), Qwest (Q), China Mobile (CHL), Paccar (PCAR) and NVIDIA (NVDA).
Bearish: Qiao Xing (XING) and Acadia (ACAD).

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap June 5th

CEO Interview: Ivan Seidenberg, Verizon (NYSE: VZ - News), AT&T (NYSE: T - News)
Although everyone is talking about Apple's iPhone , Cramer says Verizon's CEO Ivan Seidenberg is "money," and predicts VZ will be able to hold its own against rival AT & T amid iPhone hype. Seidenberg commented Verizon has "the most advanced network" and a full range of new products, including handsets for music downloads and mobile TV products. After the buzz surrounding the iPhone dies down, customers will want "flexibility and breadth of choice," added Seidenberg. He said the company is concentrating on getting its stock up, and has seen substantial success in its wireless and fiber optic units. When Cramer asked if VZ would buy a TV network, Seidenberg responded he would "never say never" but added the company doesn't need to make such a purchase.
Idyllic Drugs: Acadia Pharmaceuticals (NasdaqGM: ACAD - News)
Cramer says it is time to buy this speculative drug stock, which is coming out with two drugs for schizophrenia and one for Parkinson's. While Cramer does not recommend buying ACAD on strength of its products but on the data that will come out, he adds, "If any of these drugs pan out, you have struck gold." He would invest in the company before its drugs are approved. One schizophrenia drug's Phase II results should bring the stock higher, success for the Parkinson's drug will make it a $709-million-a-year drug, and Acadia's ACP-104 is perhaps the strongest. "It's bottoming now in anticipation of the forthcoming data. I want you in for the ride up. This is a trade, not an investment," Cramer advised.
A Real Steel: Barnes Group (NYSE: B - News)
Cramer says this metals company is a "steal" and should benefit from the aerospace sector which is "running hot" and trucking, which is healthy, based on Cummins numbers. While Cramer admits he missed the company's bottom, this "under the radar" stock should have more upside as it attracts attention and more coverage from analysts.
