Jim Cramer's Mad Money Review

Exxon (XOM), Conco-Phillips (COP), Schlumberger (SLB), Ultra Petroleum (UPL), Apache (APA), Anadarko (APC), XTO Energy (XTO), Arch Coal (ACI), Peabody Energy (BTU), First Solar (FSLR), Applied Materials (AMAT), MEMC Electronics (WFR), Mosaic (MOS), Deere (DE), CSX (CSX), Chicago Bridge and Iron (CBI), Jacobs Engineering (JEC), Shaw Group (SGR)
Contrary to popular belief, retail did not cause the rally in the Dow and the Nasdaq, but the culprit was oil, which is the umbrella that makes everything work. Not only did oil stocks like XOM, COP and SLB do well, but Cramer says oil will fuel other stocks the energy sector such as UPL, APA, XTO, ACI and BTU, as well as alternative energy plays FSLR (which reported a better-than-expected quarter and historically fabulous upside guidance), AMAT and WFR. Cramer considers ag stocks as members of the energy sector, given the development of ethanol, and would look at MOS, DE. He added rail such as CSX, and infrastructure, CBI, JEC and SGR will also rise with the oil umbrella.
Conviction Stock: FMC Corp (FMC)
A rally one day may spell a down day the next, and it is hard to know what a stock is really worth in this mad market, said Cramer. He was looking for a conviction stock which could give a little bit of certainty about what it was worth, and came up with FMC, a soda ash company in an underexposed sector which is currently enjoying a silent bull market. Soda ash is used to make glass, brick, water softener and most importantly, agricultural chemicals. Cramer says he feels certain that FMC will reach $70, a 30% upside.

Shaw Group (SGR), ABB (ABB)
Infrastructure is one of Cramer's favorite bull markets, and nuclear energy, particularly for emerging economies like India and China, is the sweet spot. Cramer's pick in this sector is Shaw Group, which reported a "beautiful quarter" with a 40% increase in revenue and a backlog of projects which is up 57% since last year and is triple the size of the company. Cramer prefers Shaw to ABB and added, "Given its diminutive size, I would be shocked if it was independent a year from now. But anyhow we like this one for the long haul."
Good as Gold: Yamana (AUY) Barrick (ABX)
Cramer reiterated his two favorite gold picks, Barrick and Yamana, as insurance against inflation. He stressed these are stocks to hold onto and should not be sold if one doesn't see immediate results. He noted AUY has a large mine in China, and ABX succeeds finding and producing more gold when other companies in the sector have stalled.
Sell Block: Peabody Energy (BTU), Massey Energy (MEE), Arch Coal (ACI), International Coal (ICO), Apache (APA), XTO Energy (XTO) Andarko (APC), ConcoPhillips (COP)
King Coal has been dethroned by a recent bill in Congress which threatens to raise dramatically the costs of burning the fuel, and will render stocks in the sector as "untouchable." While investors have been "coining money" with BTU, Cramer would sell the stock, as well as MEE, ACI and ICO. At the same time, Cramer declared "2008 is going to be the year for natural gas," and recommended buying XTO, APC, APA and COP.
CEO Interview: Matthew O'Connell, GeoEye (GEOY)
Matthew O'Connell announced the launch of the company's third satellite, and mentioned Boeing, General Dynamics and ITT participated in the production and launch of the satellite. "We paid up to get a great team," said O'Connell. Cramer said GEOY is and will remain a great speculative stock.

Coal is King: Consol Energy (NYSE: CNX), Arch Coal (NYSE: ACI), Peabody Energy (NYSE: BTU)While initially Cramer thought the Democrats in Congress considered coal "too dirty" he recently learned they are pushing for a coals-to-liquid energy plan which will mean good things for the sector. "America is the Saudi Arabia of coal," he said. "Our coal sources are safer, cheaper and more stable than our sources for oil." In addition, China is starting to import U.S. coal which will mean big international business for coal companies. While Goldman Sachs downgraded coal because they don't have confidence in coal-to-liquids technology, Cramer said this shouldn't matter to investors. He likes CNX, a relatively safe investment with high cash margins, 64 years of reserves and a chance to be bought, and said ACI is more speculative. Cramer's favorite coal is BTU, since 8% of its reserves are in Australia, and it is the obvious supplier to China, which is dispensing with its coal tariff. The stock is cheap and the company is "leaner and meaner," since it is spinning off assets with slow growth. In addition BTU has great "visibility."Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow: Yahoo! (NasdaqGS: YHOO)Now that Terry Semel, CEO of Yahoo, is leaving, Cramer removed him from his Wall of Shame and predicted the stock would climb higher after its 4.6% gain in after-hours trading to $29.42.Plenty of Room for LodgeNet Entertainment (NasdaqGM: LNET)This supplier of interactive services to hotel rooms earned $23.43 per room last quarter, has since declined because of profit-taking, and Cramer would consider buying LNET but not after-hours and only with limit orders. LNET improved its market share and international exposure though its On Command acquisition, and is poised to become a "powerhouse of in-room services." The company is looking at hosptials and time shares.Published By SeekingAlpha
