Jim Cramer's Stop Trading Jan. 14th

Cramer believes one of the fund's names, Nokia (NOK), is underrated. "Nokia just went down ... under a misperception that it was getting killed. Nokia is the winner."
Cramer added that search behemoth Google (GOOG) is "just resting" ahead of its earnings report.
Of Corning (GLW), Cramer said "Everyone is panicking." Cramer owns Corning for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS.
Cramer couldn't get behind all of Magellan's names, however. "The one that is the true glass-half-full for him and half-empty for me is Staples (SPLS). I just don't like retail at all."
To conclude, Cramer reaffirmed his belief in energy and agriculture plays, saying that Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) was "so right." He added that Mosaic (MOS), John Deere (DE), Agrium (AGU) and Monsanto (MON) are still solid stocks.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Nov. 14th

Cramer began Wednesday's show talking about Wal-Mart's (WMT) good quarter and investment ideas from its conference call. Cramer remarked how well GameStop will do during the holidays and how other consumer electronics will continue to be strong. Cramer disagrees on digital cameras because they're made in China making them hard to buy right now. He does not like Garmin (GRMN) either. In computers, Cramer supports Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), which Wal-Mart is not a big carrier of. They do sell Dell but Cramer prefers HP. He mentioned Activision as a possible investment for video games, but prefers GameStop.
TV's: Cramer considered Corning (GLW), who are involved in liquid crystal display televisions. It is not trading as high as it should be, but has a raised outlook in pricing. It has bendable fiber not priced in the stock and is heading much higher.
Am I Diversified?The first caller had Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI), Ford (F), AT&T (T), McDonald's (MCD) and Human Genome Sciences (HGSI). Cramer called HGSI too speculative and said he'd rather see the caller in a stock like Celgene (CELG) instead.Another caller held Daimler (DAI), Coca-Cola (KO), Google (GOOG), Celgene and CVRD (RIO). Cramer blessed the portfolio.The final caller asked if he was diversified with Apple (AAPL), Occidental Petroleum (OXY), MetLife (MET), Cisco (CSCO) and Yum! Brands (YUM). Cramer suggested the caller swap out of MetLife and into Prudential (PRU).
Tetra Tech (TTEK) CEO Dan Batrack joined Cramer on the show, where he said his company beat fourth-quarter expectations due to increased margins. He said they had a great performance on earnings.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Oct. 30th

Cramer began Tuesday's show by talking about investing opportunities in Brazil. Cramer believes that Brazil is a good place to invest because it will profit from lowered interest rates in the US and improving investment conditions. His top Brazil play is Banco Bradesco (BBD). Cramer had recommended this stock earlier this year, and then told people to switch into Banco Itau (ITU). Now he wants you to go back to Bradesco because it is cheaper and has better growth prospects.
Southern Copper (PCU): Cramer took a call asking if PCU would react to the falling dollar, and Cramer said not to worry about the US economy much when investing in Brazil. Next Cramer talked about an FCC ruling that is expected tomorrow which will eliminate agreements between cable companies and apartment owners. Cramer also thinks that Corning (GLW) will profit from the removal of these contracts, since Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) will move into apartments, and they will need to lay fiber to do so. Cramer also thinks that the company is too cheap considering its growth rate.
Noah Education (NED): This stock stumped Cramer yesterday, and since he thinks the Chinese education market is growing and he is bullish on the stock. He also mentioned that now is the chance to buy more dry bulk shipping stocks.
Cramer returned from the lightning round talking about a $64 per share bid that Kirk Kerkorian made for Tesoro (TSO). He thinks you can profit from some pin action from this offer by looking at other refiners. His recommendation is Marathon Oil (MRO), which would go up 18% if it was given the same valuation as Tesoro. Cramer thinks that refiners have bottomed, and that Marathon has given investors a good entry point, along with exposure to markets with better margins and the fact that they do some exploration as well.
Cramer then read an email thanking him for his stock picks and answered a question about merger arbitrage.
Sudden Death. Cramer is bearish on Palm (PALM) and Coach (COH), and he is bullish on Diana Shipping (DSX) along with other dry bulk shippers.

Jim Cramer's Stop Trading July 30th

Honeywell (NYSE: HON - News), Corning (NYSE: GLW - News), Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB - News), United Technologies (NYSE: UTX - News) and Boeing (NYSE: BA - News): After Friday's selloff which was sparked by a trading glitch, Cramer took another look at companies with outstanding earnings reports, and concluded HON, GLW and SLB are buys as well as UTX and BA which benefitted from overseas exposure. Cramer believes if the glitch had not happened, there might have been a rally on Friday instead of a selloff.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap July 20th

Greed is Bad: Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT - News), Google (NasdaqGS: GOOG - News), Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN - News), NVidia (NasdaqGS: NVDA - News), Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD - News), Corning (NYSE: GLW - News), Apple (NasdaqGS: AAPL - News), Bunge (NYSE: BG - News), Celgene (NasdaqGS: CELG - News), Cummins (NYSE: CMI - News),Level 3 Communications (NasdaqGS: LVLT - News), Chevron (NYSE: CVX - News) and ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM - News), Countrywide Financial (NYSE: CFC - News), Amazon (NasdaqGS: AMZN - News), Boeing (NYSE: BA - News), Colgate (NYSE: CL - News), ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP - News),
Cramer's said his Game Plan is a bit different this week; he is listing stocks reporting next week, but wants viewers to buy only one (Corning) before its report. While he is bullish in general and still believes the Dow will hit 14,500 by the end of the year, he admits things have been a bit precarious with the disappointing Google and CAT quarters, and suggests taking some profits to avoid being dangerously greedy. Cramer calls Google a "show me" company which has to prove that it can monetize its new hires, or face a decline. While he had faith in CAT for its international exposure, the culprit was "housing, which is so horrible that it brings down anything it touches." However, he thinks the stock will regain its momentum and eventually reach $120. Cramer discussed next week's earnings reports:
Monday: Cramer would buy TXN, his favorite semiconductor, if there is a decline after the report. He suggests selling some NVDA, which is up 6 points, and would buy some back if it gets knocked down by AMD's analyst meeting.
Tuesday: CFC is "the biggest and best view" of how housing really is .... "its really bad," and remarked that the Fed will only notice when a bank, broker or major homebuilder goes under. "Hobbled horseman" Amazon will be viewed negatively no matter what it says, so Cramer would buy on a decline.
Wednesday: BA's consistency during the selloff was impressive, said Cramer who predicts the stock is going to 120. He added if it drops to below $100 before its report, he might buy. While CL is a "classic weak dollar" play, it is a bit high. While COP may face a downgrade, Cramer would buy it on a decline because he predicts it will reach $120. Cramer called GLW "the gold star" and said it is the only stock he would buy ahead of its quarter next week, because doesn't think the company would raise its dividend and buy back stock right before a major disappointment. Cramer would sell some Apple since "hogs get slaughtered."
Thursday: Since Bunge rose after last quarter's decline, Cramer predicts a repeat performance and would buy Bunge when it drops. Cramer likes Celgene long-term and recommends picking some up when it declines. Although he thinks Cummins is not finished with its run, he would take some profits, especially after CAT's upset. No one will like Level 3 Communciation's quarter, said Cramer, and he would buy this stock which is a great play on internet video.
Friday: "Wake up and smell the gasoline!" said Cramer, remarking it is greedy to stay in CVX and XOM without selling a little.
French Foreign Legion of Oil Companies: Total S.A. (NYSE: TOT - News)
Cramer continued his series on European stocks with Total, a massive integrated oil with strong production and refining assets in 27 countries. He thinks TOT is as good as Exxon, better than Chevron, and is cheaper than other major oil companies. He also thinks TOT is better and cheaper than European oils BP and Shell. TOT has a 13% stake in Sanofi Aventis, the French drug company, and Cramer hopes TOT will sell some and use the cash for "oil-related activity."
On Speculation: Tessera Technologies Inc. (NasdaqGS: TSRA - News)Cramers speculative pick for Friday is TSRA, which specializes in miniature technologies, which is a hot area since 80% of the Dram memory industry uses TSRA's technology. TSRA licenses its technology, so it has no inventory to move, and since Microsoft's Vista will be memory-intensive, there will be more demand for TSRA's technology. While the company is involved in a lot of lawsuits, TSRA is winning the cases and protecting its intellectual property. Finally, the 20x multiple is cheap considering its 31% growth rate.
CEO Interview: CEO T.J. Rodgers Cypress Semiconductor (NYSE: CY - News) and SunPower (NasdaqGM: SPWR - News)
Cramer congratulated Rodgers on a "magnificent quarter" and added that CY would be undervalued at $800 million if it spun off its power systems and services company, SunPower. Rodgers responded that while investors sometimes give him "heat" about holding on to SPWR, "the overall value of the company is reasonable." Cramer called Rodgers a visionary and a moneymaker.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap June 4

Breaking Up is Good to Do: Citigroup (NYSE: C - News)
The best thing C could do, according to Cramer, other than ridding itself of "Clown Prince" [CEO Chuck Prince] is to split itself up; "I think the one-stop shop for everything financial doesn't work." Cramer predicts if C breaks up into five businesses, the stock will jump from from $54 to $63. However, since such a move is not definite, Cramer warns investors of the "calculated risk" involved in buying C.
CEO Interview, Mary Sammons of Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD - News)
Cramer observed the company is 50% up from last year, expects more upside on the close of its Eckerd deal, and says it is "striking distance" from Walgreen. When he asked Mary Sammons about the benefits of the acquisition, she replied, "We believe there are even greater margin and revenue opportunities not included in our forecast." On the subject of the company's debt, Sammons commented cash flow created by the purchase of new stores will help RAD balance its budget. Cramer is still bullish on RAD and predicts it will reach $8 or $9.
Sparkling Clean Ingredients: Colgate - Palmolive (NYSE: CL - News) and Procter and Gamble (NYSE: PG - News)
In Latin America, Chinese-produced toothpaste was found to have DEG, a chemical used in antifreeze which should not be consumed even in trace amounts, according to the FDA. This is good news for CL, which Cramer preferst to PG because CL has a larger international presence. In addition, Cramer comments CL is a "leaner, meaner company" which should grab substantial market share from "lumbering giant" PG.
Mad Mail: aQuantive (NasdaqGS: AQNT - News), Raser Technologies (NYSEArca: RZ), Corning (NYSE: GLW - News)
Cramer told a viewer he would sell AQNT since it has been taken over. Responding to another question, he said RZ is too speculative and he would buy GLW instead.
