Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap May 25

More Dow Picks: Pfizer (NYSE: PFE - News), Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG - News), United Technologies (NYSE: UTX - News), Verizon (NYSE: VZ - News), Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT - News), Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS - News)
Cramer says PFE is "stuck" and owning the stock is a bit like owning a bond with a tad more upside. He admits he was too bullish on PG when he predicted it could go to $67 on the weak dollar and organic growth. However, Cramer says he wasn't bullish enough on UTX which is doing well internationally and is in "hyper-drive." He predicts UTX is headed to $73. Cramer also admits he underestimated VZ's fiberoptics and its wireless, and he would buy it for its yield and growth in spite of its 14% rise. WMT should go to $52 but not higher, predicts Cramer, as long as CEO Lee Scott is in charge. While he likes DIS, he thinks its parks will be casualty to gas prices and the success of its Pirates of the Caribbean film is priced into the stock.
Call Me Darling (AMEX: DAR - News)
Cramer says Darling is "as speculative as it gets" with one business that transforms animal fats into oil and a restaurant business. DAR is "en fuego," but Cramer would wait for a big selloff before buying. After that, DAR needs more analysts covering it before it tops off, and Cramer predicts the stock will go "through the roof" when it moves into the renewable energy sector. Like Tyson, DAR could go into biodiesel, but it will get pummeled first, and when it does, Cramer would buy.
Game Plan for the Coming Week: Polo Ralph Lauren (NYSE: RL - News), Costco (NasdaqGS: COST - News), Sears (NasdaqGS: SHLD - News)
Cramer would stay away with tech, and would move into retail. He recalled RL got "creamed" after its last quarter, which was excellent, but which led to a selloff because of a negative perception about the company's guidance. Therefore, Cramer would buy half a position before RL reports and half after. While he praises COST as a "delivery machine" he believes the company will continue to be misunderstood, and would buy after its earnings report. Cramer suggests pickkng up SHLD if it gets pummeled, and if not, to wait for the next drop in the stock.
CEO Interview: Catherine Burzik, Kinetic Concepts (NYSE: KCI - News)
Catherine Burzik wanted to reassure viewers that KCI will not be hurt by competition from Smith & Nephew after its BlueSky Medical acquisition. "I'm not sure the analysts and the Street understand the market we are in here," she said. "This is a really large market ... and it is significantly unpenetrated. There's a really large opportunity." Burzik added that since Americans are getting "fatter by the day," there will be a great demand for KCI's therapeutic services. Cramer gives the company a triple buy.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round Mar. 28

JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM - News): 'I think that the company itself is really good. At $47, nice 9% pullback. Probably worth buying, but let me tell you something... It doesn't yield 3%...

It is mostly industrial equipment.'Cummins (NYSE: CMI - News)Parker-Hannifin (NYSE: PH - News)Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT - News)Terex (NYSE: TEX - News)Lamson & Sessions (NYSE: LMS - News): 'Remember, I felt that this company is a natural to be acquired. They are in talks ... I think this company is worth substantially higher than where it's selling ... I am not worried about the earnings, and the P/E is very low. In other words, continue to buy LMS... 'VeriFone (NYSE: PAY - News): ' I think that PAY - which is linked to retail - is a fabulous stock. I am surprised it's come down this much from its high. I actually want to load up the truck with PAY right here. That's too cheap!'Charter Communications (NasdaqGM: CHTR): 'Do not lose heart! This is a play off of what I regard as being the 'virtuous circle' of being able to refinance, now that rates have come down... CHTR is good ... I want you to buy it.'Comcast (NasdaqGS: CMCSA)Time Warner (NYSE: TWX - News)Allegheny Technologies (NYSE: ATI - News): 'Don't forget that you need ATI steel when you build an ethanol plant, and that stock's off nicely from its high.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Feb. 5

Watch TV, Make Money: Anheuser-Busch (NYSE: BUD - News), PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP - News), General Motors (NYSE: GM - News), Disney (NYSE: DIS - News), Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG - News), Time Warner (NYSE: TWX - News), Garmin (NasdaqGS: GRMN), Diamond Foods (NasdaqGS: DMND)
While many people tune out commercials, Cramer has noticed that the Superbowl' s main advertisers have great long-term gains, especially the top three: BUD, PEP and GM. "Despite GM holding the group back, if you owned these stocks for the last 20 years, you'd be up 739% vs. the S&P 500, which has been up 487%," he said. In addition, Pepsi, Bud, DIS, PG and TWX saw an upsurge in their stocks 3 months after their Superbowl commercials appeared last year. However, Cramer warned investors to watch out for poseurs who buy expensive advertising time they can't afford, and urges doing homework on stocks before buying. Cramer prefers companies which grow consistently rather than GRMN, and he doesn't think DMND will reap much benefit from its ad, given that it is a small company, but he likes the fact that it is involved in the healthy food trend, and thinks it will go higher. Cramer's favorite Superbowl advertiser is BUD.
Business is Booming: Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS - News), Legg Mason (NYSE: LM - News) and T. Rowe Price (NasdaqGS: TROW)
"Gaming the whims and needs of aging baby boomers represents the single greatest secular growth theme out there!" declares Cramer who believes that his generation is not only interested in having hard bodies and wrinkle-free skin, but is also "working longer, living longer and investing longer." One of the best ways to play boomer retirement is to benefit from the repositories of their money, says Cramer, who likes Goldman Sachs, but prefers pure asset managers such as LM and TROW. Of the two, Cramer prefers TROW because it puts more money into equities, whereas LM is "bond heavy."
CEO Interview: Roy Vallee, Avnet (NYSE: AVT - News)
Roy Vallee said that "a lot of hard work" went into Avnet's remarkable quarter, and when Cramer asked the CEO how the distributor had a stronger performance than its clients, the semiconductors, Vallee said that the company's broad base across various industries was responsible for Avnet's success, as well as its worldwide team effort. Cramer declared AVT's story "fabulous" and said that he should have included it on his list of tech stocks that are safe to own.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Feb. 2

On The Up and Up: Boeing (NYSE: BA - News), Ingersoll Rand (NYSE: IR - News), Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT - News), Black & Decker (NYSE: BDK - News), American Standard (NYSE: ASD - News), Alliant Tech (NYSE: ATK - News), Whirlpool (NYSE: WHR - News), Cisco (NasdaqGS: CSCO), VF Corp. (NYSE: VFC - News), Disney (NYSE: DIS - News), Bunge (NYSE: BG - News), Curtiss-Wright (NYSE: CW - News)
Cramer suggested that one should "buy high, sell higher" and recommnended stocks for which the new law of physics is "What goes up the first day must go up again and again;" BA IR, CAT, BDK, ASD and ATK. Cramer's "best bet" for the coming week is WHR since it has a "near monopoly" but low expectations, and at $92.35, he thinks the stock could go at least to $120. Cramer also likes CSCO, which is also faced with low expectations, and VFC. He added that DIS should see another rally and Bunge is ready for a comeback. In addition, CW should get a bounce from its earnings report on Thursday.
Related: Whirlpool recently sold its Hoover division.
Contrarian Stocks: Yahoo! (NasdaqGS: YHOO), Google (NasdaqGS: GOOG), eBay (NasdaqGS: EBAY)
Cramer comments on the seeming illogic of Yahoo and eBay's rise and Google's fall, but explains that it is a case of accelerating versus decelerating growth. Yahoo and eBay are both "broken stocks", but with Yahoo's Panama, there is hope for a comeback. In addition, the fact that eBay was "written off" gave its halfway decent number enough power to attract buyers. Cramer predicts that Yahoo and eBay are not finished going up. Although Google reported a "blowout quarter," its 99% growth last year has dwindled to 40%. However, Cramer says that since Google has a virtual monopoly on page search as well as a low muliple, he reiterates his prediction that the stock will go to $600, but believes it may stop at $450 first.
Related: Yaser Anwar takes a close look at Google's earnings.
New IPO: Switch & Data (SDXC), Level 3 Communications (NasdaqGS: LVLT), Equinix (NasdaqGS: EQIX), Akamai Technologies (NasdaqGS: AKAM), Apple (NasdaqGS: AAPL) and Microsoft (NasdaqGS: MSFT)
Cramer recommends picking up next week's hot IPO, Switch & Data, which is not a typical broadband company, but provides infrastructure for servers, making LVLT's work possible. Other customers include: Akamai Technologies Apple and Microsoft. Cramer is basing his predictions on EQIX's success, since it provides a similar service and doubled in 2006. He would get a into the stock through the following underwriters: Deutsche Bank, Jefferies & Co., CIBC World Markets, Raymond James, Lazard Capital Markets, RBC Capital Markets and Merriman Curhan Ford. Otherwise, he would buy the IPO for up to $20 and sell at $24.
Mad Mail: NYSE Group (NYSE: NYX - News), Halliburton (NYSE: HAL - News)
Cramer still likes NYX as would also stick with Halliburton, which he thinks is inexpensive and good.

'Charter Communications (NASDAQ: CHTR - News): 'People are buying CHTR - they believe the first thing that Time Warner will do is buy CHTR.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap

Disney (NYSE: DIS - News) and Six Flags (NYSE: SIX - News)Commenting on Disney's drop since its impressive earnings report last week, Cramer insists that DIS did not "drop the ball" but that analysts raised expectations before the report which made Disney look worse than it is. He notes that Pirates of the Caribbean brought in $1 billion and sales of its shows on iTunes is not hurting its TV business, and would use Disney's decline as an opportunity to buy. He also likes Six Flags.NYMEX (NYSE: NMX - News) and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: NYX - News)Cramer says that even though NMX has gone up, he would still buy 25% of a position in the stock now, however, he would prefer NYX up in the 130s and 140s.DJO (NYSE: DJO - News)The knee brace is becoming a fashion sports accessory as well as a treatment as companies encourage coaches to order knee braces in their teams' colors. Cramer discussed DJO in the past as a "simple but great" company, and now comments that "DJO is about braces and avoiding surgery -- a long-term trend."Network Appliance (NASDAQ: NTAP - News), Rackable Systems (NASDAQ: RACK - News), Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL - News) and Sony (NYSE: SNE - News)Cramer confessed that it was "hearbreaking" that those who sold NTAP on his suggestion missed a 12 point run. However, he also recommended sticking with RACK, and those who dumped the stock missed "an awesome 15 point run." Cramer feels certain that he is not wrong about MRVL which is acting like the other two companies since it has been a "real stinker" but reported "decent revenue and gave great guidance." He also thinks that estimates are too low for MRVL: "When you set the bar low, it becomes easy for the stock to jump." He recommends buying MRVL when it is at bottom, but would avoid SNE.Mad Mail: Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI - News), Jim Cramer Tattoos and Caremark (NYSE: CMX - News)When asked if Cramer expected BBI to exceed Cramer's $6 estimate, he answered that, given the rise of digital recorders, he doesn't think it will go from $4.75 to an amount exceeding $6. He told another mailer that getting a Jim Cramer tattoo would be a tad "aggressive." Finally, he suggested selling Caremark.Published By SeekingAlpha
