Jim Cramer's Mad Money Review

Baidu (BIDU): Cramer says the downgrade on Thursday that caused a 10% drop in Baidu “means nothing” and he predicts BIDU will reach $500 from $318.
BEA Systems (BEAS) and Oracle (ORCL): Cramer predicts BEAS will get at least $20 a share if Oracle buys it and says Carl Icahn, who owns a significant stake in BEAS, is “money.”
Annaly Capital (NLY), Citigroup (C): Cramer said NLY will be the top financial stock until January and suggested some replacements for Citigroup’s fallen CEO Chuck Prince, including former Wells Fargo CEO Dick Kovacevich or Treasury Under Secretary for Domestic Finance Bob Steel, formerly of Goldman Sachs.

Cramer talked about three stocks that could benefit this week from the weak dollar. Coca-Cola (KO), which Cramer expects to hit $60 next week. The stock closed at $57.80.
Next is United Technologies (UTX), which Cramer said should "handily" beat its numbers with its great overseas exposure. Lastly, there is Altria (MO), which he also owns for his Action Alerts PLUS and which he believes is still the cheapest stock on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Cramer also said that Citigroup (C) CEO Chuck Prince could be out of his position next week. Market players should consider getting into Citigroup by Friday.
BEA Systems (BEAS) got a massive takeover bid from Oracle (ORCL), something Cramer said he's been predicting would happen for a while. Activist investor Carl Icahn told Cramer that he was "right on" with his predictions. Icahn also said he feels Motorola (MOT) has "great value" and should be split up.
UBS (UBS) - Cramer told viewers that when a stock reports bad news and still goes higher, it's telling people it has bottomed and is ready to go much higher. He said that the bad news had been priced in the stock and now it is ready to go higher.
Tutogen Medical (TTG). On speculation Friday, Cramer said that although the stock is less than $1 away from its 52-week high, it looks like Tutogen could be headed up on deals with other companies. Cramer likes the stock, because it's likely it will get a bid from Zimmer Holdings (ZMH).
Cramer welcomed Chicago Bear linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer on his show. When Hillenmeyer asked Cramer about Las Vegas Sands (LVS), Cramer pointed out the management there is "extraordinary." However, he believes Wynn (WYNN) is running the best casino in Macau. Cramer advised taking a little off the table. Next, he suggested Hillenmeyer consider selling JetBlue (JBLU) on Monday and buying more NYSE (NYX), which Cramer owns for his charitable trust, below $80

Sovereign Bancorp (SOV): Cramer agrees with a Friedman Billings Ramsey analyst who cut his estimates for SOV and added, "It's one of the few that I can't get behind here. I can't think of a reason to own that one." Cramer went on to say its owner "won't let anyone in."
Google (GOOG): Cramer reiterated his prediction that Google will reach $701 from $600 and asked "Why a 30 multiple when it's got 33% growth?"
Garmin (GRMN): After an upgrade by AmTech/JSA Research, Cramer said "It's going to be a "Garmin Christmas. Own this thing to Christmas, but then you have to sell it."
BEA Systems (BEAS): Reassuring his viewers that Carl Icahn is not a "dingbat" for raising his stake in BEAS, Cramer discussed the company's Chinese exposure and potential to make profitable acquisitions.

Cramer opened saying the Fed "knows something" and retired his "they know nothing button," in response to the Fed lowering interest rates by 0.5%. They also decreased the discount rate by 50 basis points to 5.25%. Cramer also believes there are "three more rate cuts" to come in the future, which will lead the market to recovery. Look for stocks that yield more than treasuries. In terms of stocks, Cramer said, "almost everything works now," and you should consider buying the following stocks:
Wachovia (WB) "should go higher."
Google (GOOG), Cramer believes is going to break out.
Foster Wheeler (FWLT), Deere (DE), Caterpillar (CAT- which Cramer owns for his charitable trust Action Alerts PLUS) should work now as well.
ExxonMobil (XOM) and ConocoPhillips (COP)—should both work for oil.
Bullish Icahn: one of his favorite activist investors is "proven winner" Carl Icahn. Cramer says Icahn's been "extremely bullish" on one big software company: BEA Systems (BEAS). Icahn wants BEAS to sell because they haven't been able to prosper as a stand-alone company. Bottom line: Cramer likes fundamentals of BEAS, takeover is potential, and is a company with "limited downside."
Prescription Plan: Cramer discussed a bill that passed in Congress that will require doctors to use either tamper resistant paper or electronic records. He thinks will benefit Quality Systems (QSII) and All Scripts (MDRX).
Genesis Lease (GLS), CEO John McMahon on the show and Cramer asked him why his company is not doing well, despite the fact that its’ 8.2% yield. McMahon said, “mispricing of the stock.” Cramer recommends buying GLS.

Bullish calls:
Denny's (NasdaqCM: DENN): 'I want to be candid. They did not have a good month. I am sticking by them because, what I liked them for is the restructuring that's fixing their balance sheet ... it's part of my little under-$10 package that I think is ramping, and that I think goes still higher. DENN is fine with me. I want to hold it.'Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI - News)Dynegy (NYSE: DYN - News)Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (NYSE: RIO - News): 'This company accomplished something that no other company could do in the western hemisphere... It literally merged with its #2 competitor ... and it has created a mineral powerhouse ... I think it's got $45 written on it. I have liked this company for 10 points. I bet you I like it for another 15! But, I've got to tell you - let's understand - it's had a big run. It is up 68% year over year. It goes to $40, and goes to $45. It probably pulls back a little, and ultimately goes to $50.'NYSE Group (NYSE: NYX - News): 'I think this is the most undervalued stock on the New York Stock Exchange - how ironic... I just bought some again for my charitable trust last week, and I am anxious to pull the trigger again, because I just think it is so darn undervalued versus when that Euronext deal closes. This one is a keeper.'Yahoo! (NasdaqGS: YHOO): ' ... there was an article in the Wall Street Journal that really said that the Yahoo AT&T relationship is ka-put, that it's just a trainwreck ... Now, over the weekend, YHOO and AT&T put out a series of releases that basically said that the Journal was dead wrong. Maybe it's something in between, but the people who tossed this stock out on Friday overreacted to what I think may have been a lot wrong in that article. I'm staying with YHOO.'eBay (NasdaqGS: EBAY)Big Lots (NYSE: BIG - News): ' ... As soon as I saw the Dollar General buyout, I said that someone is going to bid for this BIG, so I hit it up. Sure enough, 52-week high but, you know what? It probably has a little bit more to go. Now, let me caution... If I owned it, it's up 120% year-over-year, and that means bulls make money, bears make money, but hogs get slaughtered. So, if you owned it for the last year....'BEA Systems (NasdaqGS: BEAS): 'I recommended it at $12. Right now, I'm giving myself 30 lashes... I am disappointed in how this company reported. I still believe that Oracle could take them out ... I want to stick with it for now.'
Neutral calls:
Ford (NYSE: F - News): 'I don't mind the company, but the stock is wrong ... I think that Ford will be successful in its turnaround, but I like to play it with the right piece of paper - the convertible bond.'
Bearish calls:
USG (NYSE: USG - News): 'USG is a really interesting situation, because it never seems to ever go right where Warren Buffet says that he would buy the rest of it, which is mid-40s... Now, USG in the end, is deeply levered to the housing market, and you know that I am a bear on housing.'Heelys (HYLS): 'I think that HLYS is over-valued ... I went recently to a couple of sporting goods stores. They're stocked to the gills with Heely's. I don't like to see that. Sell, sell, sell!'News Corp. (NYSE: NWS - News): 'We're a dollar away from register ringing on NWS. It doesn't mean I dislike it. It does mean it's had a really big run.'Quiksilver (NYSE: ZQK - News): 'Awful. Awful. I've got to tell you. This is one of the worst quarters I have seen from any apparel company, and they're blaming the warm weather ... I hate those kind of excuses. In other words, what I'm saying is, it's probably too late to sell right now but, if that stock rallies, sell, sell, sell!'

Bullish calls:
Cemex (NYSE: CX - News): 'CX is one of the best stocks out there. ... CX - the Mexican cement company that's buying American companies... that one's for me. I'm giving it two thumbs up.'BEA Systems (NASDAQ: BEAS - News): 'They are saying this BEAS hasn't taken off since Cramer recommended it. So, therefore, it must have no mojo, and they could not be more wrong. If you look at the Oracle quarter, after that disappointment, you can see it cries out for an acquisition. It needs China play. You know what that spells: BEAS.'Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO - News)Allegheny Technologies (NYSE: ATI - News): 'I say you should only playing with the house's money right now. This company produces stainless steel - but much more important - it makes titanium for BA. It makes airplane titanium, therefore, it is still too cheap. I bless it, anytime it's under $90.'Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY - News): I think OXY's good. There's like a scale here, of which are the companies most levered to crude: The company that should go up or down with the crude is OXY. The least levered is XOM. I like to have a little bit of both.'Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM - News): 'I don't like to be unlevered like XOM, although I know it's going higher. 'Chevron (NYSE: CVX - News): 'So I settle on CVX, which is my fave, for those of you who want steady income. It yields 2.75%, and it just seems to always have a bid underneath, but it doesn't go down.'Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN - News): 'And, for those who want to roll the dice, I talk about the stock that got downgraded today, criminally and wrong, which is DVN. DVN's good.'
Bearish calls:
Smith & Wesson (NASDAQ: SWHC - News): 'I don't like the stock. SWHC was one we nailed in the $5-6 range. When it got to $14, we said we be hogs.'JDSU (NASDAQ: JDSU - News): 'JDSU - I have been over that quarter with a fine-tooth comb... I think that JDSU - and let me roll up in CIEN - these I call - these are 'too hard' because they're too likely to give you (an electric shock sound).'Ciena (NASDAQ: CIEN - News): 'I feel very strongly that anybody who calls me with the JDSU or the CIEN... I would tell you that they should buy CSCO.'Allied Waste (NYSE: AW - News): 'You know, I was going to recommend this stock. I feel like this is the best one of the waste removal companies, but here's your problem: It grows at 13%, and it sells at 24x earnings. On Jim Cramer's Mad Money, the upper limit is 26x. So, if I told you to buy this at $12, I'd have to tell you to ring the register at $14. So, the answer is 'don't buy, don't buy.'
