Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap April 5

Rethinking Spartan Motors Spartan Motors (NasdaqGS: SPAR)
Although he initially rejected a pitch for Spartan Motors made by an IU Kelley School of Business student, Cramer is now bullish after investigating the stock further. Initially, he thought SPAR was mainly involved with recreational vehicles which would be out of favor with rising oil prices. However, Spartan also manufactures emergency vehicles, and since 55% of the nation's firetrucks need replacing, Spartan vehicles will be in demand. In addition, the armed forces require vehicles that will protect soldiers from roadside bombs. Spartan's military motor division recently scored the second largest contract in its history. The company's RV business is doing well, because baby boomers love RVs. While Spartan has a great story, Cramer cautions that this small-cap speculative stock may not be for everyone and to wait for a pullback before buying.
Sell Block: WCI Communities (NYSE: WCI - News), Simon Property Group (NYSE: SPG - News), Hologic (NasdaqGS: HOLX), Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC - News), Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP - News), Greenbrier Companies (NYSE: GBX - News), Coldwater Creek (NasdaqGS: CWTR), Gilead Sciences (NasdaqGS: GILD), Celgene (NasdaqGS: CELG), Altria (NYSE: MO - News), Kraft (NYSE: KFT - News) Take-Two Interactive (NasdaqGS: TTWO)
Cramer is "adamant that homebuilders can't be owned" and would sell WCI even though it hasn't moved, along with SPG, which has had a big increase. He would also sell HOLX which is "priced for perfection" but which has been the target of articles suggesting its products are less than perfect. Cramer likes rails as a "happy oligopoly, but given NSC's disappointing guidance, he would swap it for UNP on any strength. Cramer confessed "I deserve to be roasted over hot coals" for recommending GBX as a short-busting play when the stock has had a huge drop. Cramer wants to avoid getting burned again over CWTR and would sell even though it seems to be making a comeback. He thinks upgrades of semiconductors are "insane" and would get rid of the entire sector. Gilead, Cramer's "bio stock of the year" is now too expensive, and he would sell it or swap into Celgene. Now that Altria has spun off Kraft, Cramer would hold onto MO and sell KFT; "American cheese just doesn't turn it's customers into hopeless addicts."Finally, the fact that it is difficult to zero in on what is really wrong with TTWO is the best reason to sell it.
Mad Mail: Deere (NYSE: DE - News), Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO - News)
Cramer would back up the truck and buy DE because, for the long-term "we are in a secular bull market inf farming" and sees a strong comeback for Deere. Cramer also likes KO because if it's brand turns around in Japan, KO could rise from $50 to $55.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round

Bullish calls:
Barclays (NYSE: BCS - News): ' It's got a nice yield. It's got a good pastiche of businesses. I guess what I'm saying is, BCS is included in my package of solid bank stocks worth owning.'Bank of America (NYSE: BAC - News): ' ... but I would still prefer to own BAC [To BCS].'Coldwater Creek (NASDAQ: CWTR - News): 'I've been to the website at least five times this week to check it out, to be sure I'm not dreaming. I believe CWTR may have a good quarter, but the next quarter's going to be even better. This is a regional-to-national story. CWTR - Three analysts upgraded this week. They're right. The bears are wrong. Stick with CWTR!'Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT - News): ' ... this is one of the absolute toughest stocks out there, because the housing business is definitely slow but, you know, you take a look at the mineral business, and we know that it's really good ... but we also know that there's supposed to be a worldwide slowdown coming, and therefore, CAT has to be caught up in it. The bottom line for me is that ... CAT is a buy here. As a matter of fact, let me give you a range. I think CAT has 2 down, and 10 up. That's a risk reward that I want. As a matter of fact, I want it bad. That's the sound of a Caterpillar backing up (doing a 'mon-back)...'Terex (NYSE: TEX - News): 'TEX, which is smaller than CAT, but has just been on a tear, because it was added to the S&P 500 ... is a buy here.'Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (NYSE: RIO - News): 'Here's what I would do: If you bought, say, 200 shares on my advice - here it is 60 cents from its 52-week high - I would sell 50, because the mineral stocks are going down. But, you know what? If that stock got back to where I recommended it, I woud pull the trigger (i.e., buy it) again, because that, along with BHP and RTP, are the three best mineral companies in the entire world. How can you not own one of them?'Rio Tinto (NYSE: RTP - News)BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP - News)XTO Energy (NYSE: XTO - News): 'The best independent oil company ... It is too expensive to be acquired, because it's got a very high multiple. Why? Because it has so consistently found oil.'Honeywell (NYSE: HON - News): ' I think that that dividend boost - that stock's been rocking ... Big dividends are growth. HON gave us one. HON's going to $50. I would not sell HON, even though it's at its 52-week high.'Time Warner (NYSE: TWX - News): 'We have now been behind Dick Parsons for 4 and a half points. You do not sell TWX here. That stock is just visiting the 22-23 level. It's a way station on the way to what surely is the promised land of $28-$30. You stay with TWX.'
Bearish calls:
Aventine Renewable Energy (NYSE: AVR - News): 'AVR is a sale. Sell, sell, sell. You don't want to be near it. It's a trainwreck. That whole ethanol group is no good.'

Jim Cramer's Stop Trading Dec. 18

Under Armour (NYSE: UA - News) and Coldwater Creek (NASDAQ: CWTR - News): Cramer thinks that these two companies have been unfairly attacked by the shorts and he predicts that they are going higher. These companies are considered too rich, but Cramer commented, "you don't short based on the multiple ... a multiple is a tell of where a stock is going." He believes that momentum buyers are going to get into the stocks. Cramer c0mpared Under Armour's CEO Kevin Plank to Mickey Drexler who was a master of product design at the Gap, and added that Coldwater Creek is a regional to national story. He would buy them when they dip.
Halliburton (NYSE: HAL - News) and Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB - News): Cramer notes that HAL has gotten beaten up yet again, this time with Goldman Sach's downgrade of SLB. "It's my nomination for the single most-hated stock in the universe," said Cramer, adding that this does not mean that it necessarily has some upside. He suggests waiting for HAL's inventory number on Wednesday and buying on Thursday.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Recap


Coldwater Creek (CWTR): New wave of online shopping. They figured out how to cater to those who don' t have stellar computer skills. They put you in touch with an actual human being on their website so you can ask them what they have and tell them what you want. Cramer thinks you should buy this stock because of the unique shopping experience it provides as well as a great catalogue and solid stores. Cramer says this stock screams growth.

Cramer analyzed the car industry. Cramer wants you to invest in Toyota Motor (TM). They are starting to change their marketing efforts in America to make their brand as American as "Apple Pie." They are also putting a car in Nascar which will be huge. The stock was down today which gives you a great entry point. He believes this company could be the biggest car manufacturer in America.


Lightning Round:


Bullish: NYX, MA, CSCO, CHK, SBUX

Bearish: PD, ASGN, MDTL, EXPE
Cramer says to buy KB Homes (KBH) and all those who have options scandals. First, the stock tanks than it comes inching back. Once you have a resolution on the matter, the stock becomes a buy. This is his tenative model on companies that have been affected by options scandals. The stock is dirt cheap and also has no debt. As of now, the stock is so cheap that it is a good takeover target by the private equity guys.
