I want to reiterate off that great quarter that AMT is best in show.'Crown Castle (NYSE: CCI - News)Rosetta Resources (NasdaqGS: ROSE): 'I think that ROSE is one of these terrific independent oil companies, that is way behind the group, that should be bought aggressively here, that people do not understand.'MasterCard (NYSE: MA - News)Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB - News): 'I believe very strongly that SLB is going higher ...

That's the only game in town.'Mosaic (NYSE: MOS - News)Incyte (NasdaqGM: INCY): 'Yeah, I mean, look, it's a spec ... It's doing fine. It's 50 cents off its high. I'm not backing away from that one.

Because the 80 cents down could out first. Don't buy, don't buy ... I fear that one of those companies will go out of business.'Capital One Financial (NYSE: COF - News): 'This is very hard ...

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Feb. 9

On Speculation: Landec Corp (NasdaqGS: LNDC)Cramer announced that he was going to discuss speculative stocks on Fridays to give investors a weekend to cool off before pulling the trigger on potentially risky companies. Friday's speculative play was LNDC, a $12 stock that, according to Cramer, is in the hottest part of one of the hottest sectors, which is seed technology. LNDC's technology, "intellicoat," prevents seeds from germinating and absorbing water too early, and allows farmers to plant up to four weeks ahead of time. Cramer says, "if corn is the next oil, LNDC is the equivalent of a pressure pumper that gets more oil out of the well." He advised investors to use limit orders and not to buy an entire position at one time.The Week Ahead: Prudential (NYSE: PRU - News), Metlife (NYSE: MET - News), Aon Corp (NYSE: AOC - News)Cramer commented that he doesn't like the market here, that the financials are "acting terrible," the real estate market is a "total collapsed bubble," and that gold, "ever the enemy of paper" is going up and that gold investors should take profits. In this "glass is half-empty" environment, Cramer warns of selloffs in even the best companies, and suggests buying only half of the intended amount and making a move at the end of the week after the "selling squall." He likes Prudential, which reported a "beautiful quarter," AOC, and MET, which is best-of-breed and is the "big sleeper" of next week with 10% accelerated growth. Cramer would buy it before and after its earnings report and recommends patience if it doesn't rise immediately.Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG - News) and Denny's (NasdaqCM: DENN)Concerning CMG and DENN, Cramer says he doesn't mind fact that these companies have debt because their financials are still good, they can refinance at low rates thanks to the strong bond market, and can raise earnings per share by decreasing interest payments. He calls Denny's a "bad going to good" story, but would wait, and calls CMG a "good going to better" story which will have a "fantastic quarter." However, Cramer would hold off until CMG gets hit and would buy it low.Life Time Fitness (NYSE: LTM - News), Baidu.com (NasdaqGM: BIDU), Psychiatric Solutions (NasdaqGS: PSYS)LTM has "come in a tad" from where Cramer recommended it as a generational play, but he would still buy it as a long-term stock. He comments that BIDU has just a fraction of Google's value and better growth potential, but is in a precarious position because of China's Communist government. Since BIDU tends to trade wildly after it reports, he would use a downturn as an opportunity to buy it cheaply. Cramer notes that PSYS' management has been bullish ahead of the quarter, and would buy some stocks ahead of time, since PSYS has been acquiring companies, and Cramer expects a "big number bump" next week.Masco Corp. (NYSE: MAS - News), KBH Home (NYSE: KBH - News), Daktronics (NasdaqGS: DAKT), Reliance Steel (NYSE: RS - News)Cramer would ring the register on MAS before it reports, since it has had a big run. He predicts that KBH will see a huge selloff, and would sell it before it reports and buy the stock back lower. Cramer likes DAKT which is "remaking the billboard industry in its own digital image" and is building huge billboards at sports stadiums. He would use the 8% dip as an opportunity to get in before it reports. Cramer would take profits in RS because it has risen 8 points since he recommended it.Published By SeekingAlpha

Bullish calls:
Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE: TMO - News): ' May I suggest - if you're going to do medical diagnostics ... it's TMO.'Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL - News): ' ... I think it's got one down and five up. They make the controllers for disk drives, among other things, and also the PS2 ... I think it's six months before it explodes, but it will explode to the upside!'Companhia Vale do Rio (NYSE: RIO - News): 'The only one that I will still sanction, was my last one that I recommended, which was RIO.Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ - News): 'The only one [personal computer company] that I've actually been recommending - it's got big revenues this company - is the HPQ.'USG (NYSE: USG - News): 'I think USG is maxed out by Warren Buffet. It's at $52 bucks and, if housing turns, it goes right to $65. And, if housing doesn't turn, no real downside - maybe $49. That means 3 down, and it means 7 up. 7 up wins.'Community Bank System (NYSE: CBU - News): 'This one's very cheap off the book value. Why? Because the book value's actually cash, when it comes to banks. I like it. 3.4% yield. I'm not concerned about the inverted yield curve ... You've got a winner.'Daktronics (NASDAQ: DAKT - News): 'They were beat up, and it was a fallacy! ... This was classic profit taking ... I like DAKT very much on this pullback, and I want to pull the trigger, and then I want to stay with it.'
Bearish calls:
Mindray Medical International (NYSE: MR - News): 'Oh, there's a man who likes to go to China and look for nothing but problems. We got a lot of companies who do the same thing - in terms of the internet - right here ... TMO's better than MR.'Internap Network Services (NASDAQ: INAP - News): 'It is time to ring the register INAP.'Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG - News)Amphenol (NYSE: APH - News): 'I never find these companies to be anything that special, but they always trade cheap. I have no catalyst to recommend APH, so I'm going to say, 'don't buy, don't buy.'Rio Tinto (NYSE: RTP - News): 'The commodity boom is over. NEM - the last of the big gold stocks - is rolling over. I do not want be associated with RTP, or BHP anymore. 'BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP - News)Systemax (NYSE: SYX - News): 'We liked this stock before; it's had a really nice run. I am not going to tell you that it's necessarily cheap ... SYX is kind of one of these [ one sideways thumb].'Peabody Energy (NYSE: BTU - News): ' ... coal is plummeting, plummeting. No one wants to own coal. Plus, we have the Democrats ... they are not of, by and for the corporation. They are concerned with the air. You can't make any money off of that game - the air game. Therefore, I think that BTU remains a cheap stock with no catalyst. Not for me.'

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap

Out in the Open: Daktronics (NASDAQ: DAKT - News), Lamar (NASDAQ: LAMR - News), Clear Channel (NYSE: CCO - News) and CBS (NYSE: CBS - News)
Although Cramer has often said that old media is dying, the oldest advertisements, billboards, are " coming back with a vengeance," because they are on the street where they cannot be avoided and are going digital. Daktronics is up 165%, but Cramer recommends buying it because the company "owns the market" in digital billboards, which he believes is the fastest growing form of advertising after the internet. The company also produces scoreboards for sports events. Cramer thinks Lamar is a better acquisition than CBS and Clear Channel, " because it is a pure play and is "going digital faster than any other company."
Safeway's Secret (NYSE: SWY - News)
Since many of the obvious holiday stocks are "played out" Cramer suggested a good oblique strategy for benefitting from the season by investing in Safeway which, in addition to running great stores, owns the $4-5 billion greeting card business, Blackhawk, whose products are sold by Barnes & Noble (NYSE: BKS - News), Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL - News) iTunes, MasterCard (NYSE: MA - News), Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN - News), Home Depot (NYSE: HD - News) and Sears (NASDAQ: SHLD - News). Not many people are aware that Safeway owns Blackhawk, but when this is no longer a secret, the stock should rise, comments Cramer. In addition, Safeway's supermarkets are "financially sound enough to add a half-billion dollars to its buyback program last Friday and offer a dividend," and he would get into the stock before its analyst meeting on Tuesday.
CEO Interview: David Pyott of Allergan (NYSE: AGN - News)
David Pyott discussed the company's developing program for neuropathic pain and its rapid growth in the opthalmology sector. "The great position we have is that Allergan is the largest company in the world in the medical aesthetics space," he said, noting the popularity of breast implants, Botox and Juviderm among plastic surgery customers. Pyott also mentioned an upcoming trial between Juviderm and Medicis' Restylane to see which treatment customers like better and lasts longer. After the interview, Cramer commented that Thomas Weisel Partners' downgrade of Allergan was unfair, and that he would back up the truck as soon as the stock's price dips.
