Jim Cramer's Mad Money Review Dec. 10th

Triple-S Management (GTS)
True success stories on The Street may be harder to find these days, but Cramer has observed the progress of non-profit Blue Cross Blue Shield companies that turn into public for-profit companies and found in their first four years the stocks had increased an average of 28%. He would consider Triple-S Management (GTS) which went public last week and has yet to set the sector on fire, since it opened only 16 cents above its $14.50 and undershot its projected range of $16-$18. Cramer said the companies contracts will become profitable and warned investors to do homework before buying and to use limit orders.
CEO Interview: Jack Cumming Hologic (HOLX)
Cramer likes HOLX for its visibility, growth and clean balance sheet and asked Jack Cumming about the merger with Cytic which was closed on Oct 22 and is running ahead of schedule. Cumming discussed the company's $1.3 billion convertible bond offering as a strategy to eliminate debt. Concerning competitors, He noted HOLX entered the scene two years behind its main rivals and is nine months ahead on the race for digital mammography. "We believe that when you have nine No 1. products, you're expected to grow at a fantastic rate," Cumming said.
Live with Regis' Portfolio: JDS Uniphase (JDSU), Time Warner (TWX), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), LSI Logic (LSI), Unisys (UIS), Freeport-McMoRan (FCX), McDonald's (MCD), CVS Caremark (CVS), Oceaneering (OII), Transocean (RIG), Chevron (CVX)
Regis told viewers not to worry about holiday retail sales, since people are lining up outside stores, and Cramer reviewed Regis' portfolio. First, he told Regis he missed the ideal opportunity to sell Time Warner, which rose recently, and would sell it now. He also told Regis to sell AMD, since the company is having trouble with its next chip and has Hector Ruiz at the helm. The ticker JDSU stands for "just don't sue us," said Cramer and he told Regis to sell. He gave LSI a "tepid buy" and added "it has a shot at coming back," but Cramer told Regis Unisys was one big "house of pain." Cramer suggested Regis replace these names with FCS, MCD, CVS, OII, RIG and CVX.
Teledyne Technologies (TDY), Ansys (ANSS)
Cramer says TDY and ANSS are two "Upod artists" that overpromise and underdeliver; "Upod works because the bedrock predictor is the trumping of earnings estimates," he said. TDY is tapped into aerospace and oil, has exceeded estimates an average of 15% per quarter, has made smart acquisitions and is cheap, but Cramer would wait for it to dip before buying. Ansys is the "market leader" in simulation and software, has strong overseas exposure, 68% return business and has exceeded estimates 40 consecutive times. The stock may seem expensive, but it is growing at an impressive 19% and should be trading at a higher multiple.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round

Bullish calls:
Cemex (NYSE: CX - News): 'CX is one of the best stocks out there. ... CX - the Mexican cement company that's buying American companies... that one's for me. I'm giving it two thumbs up.'BEA Systems (NASDAQ: BEAS - News): 'They are saying this BEAS hasn't taken off since Cramer recommended it. So, therefore, it must have no mojo, and they could not be more wrong. If you look at the Oracle quarter, after that disappointment, you can see it cries out for an acquisition. It needs China play. You know what that spells: BEAS.'Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO - News)Allegheny Technologies (NYSE: ATI - News): 'I say you should only playing with the house's money right now. This company produces stainless steel - but much more important - it makes titanium for BA. It makes airplane titanium, therefore, it is still too cheap. I bless it, anytime it's under $90.'Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY - News): I think OXY's good. There's like a scale here, of which are the companies most levered to crude: The company that should go up or down with the crude is OXY. The least levered is XOM. I like to have a little bit of both.'Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM - News): 'I don't like to be unlevered like XOM, although I know it's going higher. 'Chevron (NYSE: CVX - News): 'So I settle on CVX, which is my fave, for those of you who want steady income. It yields 2.75%, and it just seems to always have a bid underneath, but it doesn't go down.'Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN - News): 'And, for those who want to roll the dice, I talk about the stock that got downgraded today, criminally and wrong, which is DVN. DVN's good.'
Bearish calls:
Smith & Wesson (NASDAQ: SWHC - News): 'I don't like the stock. SWHC was one we nailed in the $5-6 range. When it got to $14, we said we be hogs.'JDSU (NASDAQ: JDSU - News): 'JDSU - I have been over that quarter with a fine-tooth comb... I think that JDSU - and let me roll up in CIEN - these I call - these are 'too hard' because they're too likely to give you (an electric shock sound).'Ciena (NASDAQ: CIEN - News): 'I feel very strongly that anybody who calls me with the JDSU or the CIEN... I would tell you that they should buy CSCO.'Allied Waste (NYSE: AW - News): 'You know, I was going to recommend this stock. I feel like this is the best one of the waste removal companies, but here's your problem: It grows at 13%, and it sells at 24x earnings. On Jim Cramer's Mad Money, the upper limit is 26x. So, if I told you to buy this at $12, I'd have to tell you to ring the register at $14. So, the answer is 'don't buy, don't buy.'
