Jim Cramer's Stop Trading Oct. 15th

Sirius (SIRI) XM Satellite (XMSR) Crocs (CROX): Even though the SIRI/XMSR merger has been "topic one" in Congress, Cramer predicts it will be approved this year, and as a result, SIRI will move from $3.60 to $5.00. Cramer also noted CROX rose 4% due to a short squeeze, but he would still recommend it for the long-term.

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 Aug. 27


Fall into the Gap (GPS)
Although Cramer admits he has disliked retail lately, the sector will be a hot area when the Fed continues to cut interest rates. What was once the worst of the worst, Gap, is now best-of-breed, with a better balance sheet, new CEO Glenn Murphy, $2.7 billion in cash and investments and a revenue of $151.9 billion. In addition, this "great turnaround story" is buying back stock aggressively and is polishing its Banana Republic Brand. Cramer would wait about 5 days before buying.
Old King Kohl's: Limited Brands (LTD), Tween Brands (TWB) and Kohl's(KSS)
Unlike LTD and TWB, retailers Cramer thinks deserve to be doing badly, it is a mystery that people seem not to like Kohl's, which has "dropped like a rock;" a full 28% since April. Cramer likes the fact no one is paying attention to Kohl's which sells at 13x forward earnings and has a growth rate of 18%. He also noted the store is focusing on high-end designer brands, such Vera Wang's label. Cramer concluded KSS has the best risk-reward if the Fed keeps cutting and "deserves to be bought."
Fly Like an Eagle: American Eagle Outfitters (AEO)
Cramer suggests looking for retail stocks with vigorous insider buying and low evaluations; these factors characterize AEO, which is "worth buying." AEO's sales increased 17% year over year and is currently selling at 12 times next year's earnings. Craner would wait until the stock dips to between $22 and $25 before buying.
Mad Mail: Crocs (CROX), American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) Although Cramer still believes CROX has further to climb, he admits concern over the company's insider selling; "I will temper my enthusiasm a tad," he said. Cramer added AEO is a good stock for a 7th grader, and is an investment that can be held onto for a few years.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Aug. 1st

Running Away from Home: Bank Index (BKX)
Cramer would not only get out of housing stocks, he suggests investors may want to leave their homes altogether. This would be a "smart, right, rational" choice if home equity has declined 10%. He would also sell the Bank Index and mortgage companies; "the ripple effects extend pretty far and are pretty ugly."
What Works: Lululemon Athletics (LULU), Garmin (NasdaqGS: GRMN - News), Allergan (NYSE: AGN - News), Under Armour (NYSE: UA - News), Crocks (NasdaqGS: CROX - News), Raytheon (NYSE: RTN - News)
Cramer likes LULU, which was up on one of the market's darkest days. He also recommends GRMN, which rose 8 points and AGN because the "wheels of capitalism are greased by our need to have wrinkle-free skin." Cramer notes UA and CROX are both up and comments they have both been good trades, although he thinks UA will be better in the long run. His favorite defense pick, RTN, was "robbed" of reaching $60 after its report, but Cramer thinks its heading there.
CEO Interview: Jack Hartung, Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG - News)
Cramer asked Jack Hartung how the company is dealing with rising food prices. "It was worse by 100 basis points this quarter," he said, but stressed the rising prices are not affecting business because CMG uses higher quality food to begin with. Hartung mentioned two factors which are creating growth for CMG; "We look at the quality of real estate we can secure and the quality of managers we're developing." The company motivates managers by paying them a $10,000 bonus for every crew person they develop to become a manager. Cramer predicts the stock will rise tommorrow and would only sell when CMG has has three analyst upgrades (currently CMG has one upgrade).

Jim Cramer's Stop Trading May 23

On Greenspan's remark that he expects a "dramatic contraction" in Shanghai: While Cramer says there will be some "serious selloffs" as there are in any bull market, he does not agree with Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan's dire prediction for China, and notes the Chinese market is up 45% after February's 9% drop. Cramer adds that unlike Japan, China has growth potential.
Crocs (NasdaqGS: CROX): Cramer tells investors to "press the bet" on Crox, at least until the final two anaylsts give their ratings. The shoe-seller rose 1% after reaching a 52-week high, and Cramer expects more upside.

Jim Cramer's Stop Trading May 17

Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT - News): Cramer thinks the downgrade of CAT was mistaken, because it is not levered to housing, but to BRIC as well as the Middle East and Asia. He predicts machinery stocks are this era's growth stocks and will benefit form the weak dollar because of international exposure.
Crocs Inc. (NasdaqGS: CROX): People keep asking Cramer how long to hold CROX, and he suggests hanging on until the last firm rolls out coverage. "Once it's sponsored by everybody, then you've got to vamoose," he said.
Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM - News): Despite some yucky incidents, like the ecoli outbreak and rat infestation in a New York City KFC, YUM is up 11 points. "When I see it happen, I am supposed to stop shopping? Nobody else did." Cramer says the stock is "screaming higher" to $70.

Jim Cramer's Stop Trading April 5

DaimlerChrysler (NYSE: DCX - News): Cramer predicts DCX will go from $84 to $90 on Kirk Kekorian's $4.5 billion offer. He comments that Jerry York is a "smart guy" and people underestimate both Kekorian and York.
Ford (NYSE: F - News): Concerning controversy over the $28 million payout to Ford CEO Alan Mulally, Cramer commented Mulally is "worth every penny" and is doing a fantastic job saving Ford from bankruptcy.
Under Armour (NYSE: UA - News), Crocks (NasdaqGS: CROX): Although Cramer likes UA more than CROX, he says the shorts are "out of control," especially since everyone will be wearing the shoes this summer, and he would pick CROX; "I believe that this is another situation where the shorts should have their shoelaces and their belts removed, because I just don't want them to cause harm to themselves."
