Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Sept. 17th

Hedging Against the Fed: Grant Prideco (GRP), National Oilwell Varco (NOV)
Cramer thinks oil companies will be fine regardless of whether or not the Fed cuts, and while oils have been rising, GRP is the "ultimate laggard that is ready to roll." In spite of its "phenomenal" drill pipe business, GRP has not yet seen gains and its CEO has a tendency to underpromise and overdeliver, said Cramer. At $55, GRP is a "steal" compared to NOV which deals more with machinery while GRP, "the Gilette of oil service" deals with consumables.
RRSat Global Communications Network (RRST), Adobe Systems (ADBE)
This Israeli Satellite company is Bernanke-proof and has uplinks for 295 TV shows and 80 radio stations around the world. Cramer thinks RRST will continue to gain market share because it has the unique, cost-saving ability to deliver content in one satellite hop. Only 4 analyst cover RRST which has 2% of the market and 40% growth. Cramer warned viewers that the stock is speculative, should be bought next week and with market orders. He added a note that those who had bought ADBE should sell a bit because of recent run.
Mad Mail: Nvidia (NVDA), Caterpillar (CAT)
Cramer said he would buy NVDA on any weakness. He expressed disappointment at his inability to persuade people that CAT is not a housing play.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap July 27th

PepsiCo (P'EP), Kellogg (NYSE: K - News), Nova Chemicals (NYSE: NCX - News), Schering-Plough (NYSE: SGP - News) and Celgene (NasdaqGS: CELG - News), EMC (NYSE: EMC - News)
In the aftermath 0f last week's carnage, Cramer urged investors to search in the rubble for damaged stocks but not damaged companies. One indicator that the damage is only skin deep is if the companies reported great quarters right before the selloff. However, financial and housing stocks are simply no good, according to Cramer. While Pepsi and Kellogg both reported great quarters, Pepsi jumped and then gave back its gain while Kellogg went flat. He prefers Pepsi to Coke and thinks this $66 stock is really worth $80. Cramer predicted Kellogg will have a great quarter. He considers both stocks to be an antidote for a slowing economy. Concerning NCX, Cramer said the quarter was strong and he thinks the company will be taken over. Cramer likes SGP and CELG, even though the latter stock is up. Cramer liked EMC's quarter so much, he bought the stock, and he says the company's spinoff of VMWare will be VMware "the sexiest initial public offering of the year."
Boeing (NYSE: BA - News) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT - News)Cramer predicts BA and LMT will go to $120, since both had been at $80 and are now around the $100 mark. BA is producing fuel-efficient planes which hold more passengers and is not affected by the domestic economy. Cramer would buy a maximum of 100 shares incrementally. He adds LMT is a good play on the Iraq War, since the defense budget is "huge." Cramer added LMT is a good international stock and is a "buyback king."
Adobe (NasdaqGS: ADBE - News)
Cramer feels secure about the tech because the sector usuallly does well in the late summer and it has the least exposure to housing ills. He likes ADBE right now even more than Microsoft because he thinks the third and fourth quarter will benefit from sales of Creative Suite 3, the "best software for publishing."
Mad Mail: Transocean (NYSE: RIG - News) and Omniture (NasdaqGM: OMTR - News)
Cramer calls RIG the most creditworthy company apart from Schlumberger, but he would recommend selling some gains. He adds that he hopes those who saw a $4 jump for OMTR sold some stock.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Review

InnerWorkings (NASDAQ: INWK - News)
Continuing his week-long discussion of "hot stocks," Cramer discussed InnerWorkings, which outsources printing services and has gone up 87% since its IPO in August. The company has had a record of positive profit and net income and has a "right to exist" in spite of its competition. Cramer says that this stock has room to rise, but suggests that investors keep its Feburary 11 lockup expiration date in mind and to buy half of a position now and half after Feb. 11 or to swap out of the stock during that period. Cramer suggested taking 48 hours to do research on the stock before buying.

Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE - News)
Cramer comments that Adobe "through no fault of its own, got pummeled on Monday in a vicious Nasdaq selloff," and he would use the opportunity to pick up this "indispensible" stock. Adobe was down because investors were afraid that it would report lower guidance, but when it didn't, the stock spiked. Cramer also mentioned that negative speculation by short-sellers might have kept the stock down. He would buy Adobe which is "too cheap for the wrong reasons" ahead of its Creative Suite 3 release, and ride it on a "four month magic carpet ride."

Verifone (NYSE: PAY - News)
Although holiday stocks have been played out, Cramer likes ancillary seasonal play, Verifone, which makes credit and debit card swiping machines and is "by far the market leader" in this business. The company is going to have a big upgrade in the U.S. and will replace their machines. In addition, Verifone has tremendous growth potential in the developing world, and is a cheap stock which is " one part ancillary Christmas play and 10 parts great stock," according to Cramer.
CEO Interview: Dr. Paul Berger, Nighthawk Radiology (NASDAQ: NHWK - News)
When asked about the company's hospital growth, Dr. Berger commented "At the end of the third quarter this year, we have approximately 981 hospitals which send us images every night, or approximately 18% of the hospitals in the U.S. And that's been a growth of 121 hospitals over the first nine months of 2006." He also discussed the world-class radiologists on staff and the technology which enables physicians to be more efficient. Cramer said he likes Nighthawk, but would not be against ringing the register since he is tired of defending a winning stock which investors are not thrilled about.
