Jim Cramer's Mad Money Review

"Retail's a different animal when things get bad," said Jim Cramer on Tuesday's "Stop Trading!" segment on CNBC. "When we get double-digit unemployment, everything goes."
He said the dollar stores, such as Family Dollar(FDO), are the only thing that might be safe. Not even Sears(SHLD), which he said is not over-leveraged and has a "really good" balance sheet, can avoid the fate of retailers such as Saks(SKS).

"Why should Sears be immune from this?" he said.

"Eddie's my friend," said Cramer, referring to Sears Chariman Eddie Lampert, but "he's got Home Depot(HD) going against him and Lowe's(LOW) going against him."

Addressing big oil, Cramer said that Exxon Mobil(XOM) is his tell. Cramer said that when oil was at $80 to $100, stocks such as Exxon "telegraphed a dramatic decrease in oil" to $60.

Exxon "predicted everything that happened, and it was six months ahead of everything," he said. "And that stock's done going down."

If Exxon was right before, Cramer said, it might be right again. Now he sees a bottom for oil in the $50s and a $2 bottom in gasoline. "You have to believe that oil might be bottoming, because that's what the stocks told you before," he said. He also mentioned that Anadarko (APC) "has moved up lately."

Jim Cramer took up the protracted debate over the market's bottom on his his Mad Money TV show Friday.
Cramer said he is not taking sides in the debate, trying instead to remain flexible.
Noting there are arguments both for and against calling a bottom in the stock market, he emphasized just having the debate itself is a good sign.
On the upside, Cramer cited the PHLX Housing Sector Index. "This home building index won't go down, despite the fact home builders are reporting horrible numbers," he said. "When you get bad news and nothing happens, that's a bottom."
On the downside, he pointed out, there are still many bearish arguments, including the weakening dollar and consumer confidence. While home prices may be stabilizing in some areas of the country, they continue to weaken in others.
Cramer said he's looking to Lowe's (LOW) and Home Depot (HD), both of which report next week, for clarity on the real state of the housing market.
Overall, Cramer told viewers that he's sticking with the same long-term themes he's discussed over the past few weeks. And that they are international infrastructure, oil and natural gas, mining and minerals, and defense stocks. He also likes his "new technology" companies that are making real solutions for real problems.

The Dow closed down 218 points and the Nasdaq fell 43 points on Monday. Finerman sees storm clouds are everywhere and the Goldman downgrade of Citigroup (C) really hurt the markets. Najarian had a fun day trading. He also thinks the financial sector is in big trouble and he is extremely worried about General Motors (GM) which fell below $27.
Louise Yamada, a highly ranked technician on Wall Street, joined the show to discuss her analysis on the technicals of the market. She is currently worried that the S&P 500 could break 1406, which would signal to her an end of the longer-term uptrend. Yamada is still bullish on Cisco Systems (CSCO) and she would look to buy pullbacks on the name. She looked at the chart on Broadcom (BRCM) calling it a sell because it hasn't followed through after a false break-out. The chart on Coca-Cola (KO) is initiating an uptrend according to Yamada, so she would be a buyer of KO. Bed Bath and Beyond (BBBY) should be sold.

Nordstrom (JWN) reported a 22% rise in third-quarter profits helped by an extra week of sales.

Target (TGT), J.C. Penney (JCP), Kohl's (KSS) and Lowe's (LOW)
Things are going to get uglier in retail, and that is the precise reason, according to Cramer, investors should go shopping in the sector; "It is so counterintuitive sometimes to be right," he went on. "But all of my career, the biggest money I've made is when I was counterintuitive. Retail is awful, the numbers will be awful and you need to buy."
Cramer suggests buying some usually strong retail names such as TGT, which should sell its credit card division, JCP, KSS and LOW. He believes the decline in the stocks may not be due to selling, but may be in anticipation of the National Retail Association's prediction of a sluggish holiday season.
"We should have a cathartic down leg if the same-store sales are as bad as I think, but it's entirely possible that that's when the hedge funds that have been very short this group cover," Cramer predicted.
He suggests buying half a position in retail now and half when the fundamentals get worse. However, he adds the stock prices might not necessarily drop.

Costco (COST), Wal-Mart (WMT), Kroger (KR), Safeway (SWY), Home Depot (HD), Sears (SHLD), Lowe's (LOW), Kohl's (KSS), J.C. Penney (JCP), Macy's (M)
When retail swoons, bears are quick to blame the sluggish consumer, but Cramer believes a more nuanced view is in order. Even though consumers don't want to shop at Wal-Mart, Safeway or Kroger because of boredom, or at Home Depot, Lowe's and Sears because of housing problems doesn't mean they don't want to shop. Today's consumer wants to be entertained, pampered and is looking for a bargain, said Cramer. Target and Wal-Mart no longer provide this experience, but Costco is fitting the bill because "it is a better place to shop." The consumer is not interested in Kohl's, J.C. Penney or Macy's, particularly the latter, since the stores have gone downhill because of the consolidation, said Cramer. While Kohl's is okay, its merchandise did not fit the weather. However, Costco is "a more exciting, treasure-hunt place to shop," Cramer said. "I think you're seeing a tiering here and the tiering has to do with execution, performance and fun to shop, not the consumer."

First caller asking whether the tech sector is still the best place to be? Cramer says drop out of tech right now and wait for the pullback.
Second caller inquired on stock splits and asked if Cramer thinks a stock split is forthcoming for Apple (AAPL). Cramer said he wouldn't be surprised.
Third called asking if EMC is a better value than VZW. Cramer said he likes EMC.

Cramer's getting bullish on companies taking a "no bull" approach to business. He looked at companies that started in U.S. but have expanded. U.S. is no longer a growth country. Cramer says invest in companies with growing international exposure. Best Buy (BBY): Creating value with through the Canadian loon and expanding elsewhere globally. International sales are huge with Best Buy. Circuit City is shrinking its business. Cramer stated the success and future potential of Best Buy's Geek Squad.

Next, Cramer talked about the fact that the US economy is not in great shape, so we should look abroad for investment opportunities. He specifically mentioned Carnival Cruises (CCL) as a buy, and thinks that it will beat Royal Caribbean (RCL) in the growing European cruise market.

Airgas (ARG): Cramer spoke to the CEO of Airgas about its excellent performance. Cramer thinks this is another stock to buy after the pullback.
Lowe's (LOW): Finally, Cramer mentioned that Lowes was hurt in the market downturn. He reiterated his pullback theory, saying retail will lead the way down, followed by tech.

A Reliab-Oil Stock: XTO Energy (NYSE: XTO - News)
Cramer says he has finally found the "perfect" oil company which takes advantage of high oil prices by exploiting new properties rather than just buying back stock. XTO has risen 14% since Cramer recommended it in March, and with its recent acquisition of Dominion Resources, it should see double-digit growth for four or five years, according to Cramer.
Interview with Duncan Niederauer, president and co-COO of NYSE Euronext (NYSE: NYX - News)
Cramer's growth stock for 2007, NYX, is down 15%, but he is not backing away. While Euronext is growing rapidly, Cramer admits NYX is turning into the "worst performing" stock he's seen. Duncan Niederauer commented NYX is the only multi-product exchange; "It's still a wonderfully scaleable business, and a lot of the market doesn't know how to evaluate us because we're not quite as attractive as the derivative-only exchanges," he told Cramer. However, he added that NYX is still more attractive than the equity-only exchanges. Concerning derivatives, Niederauer said, "The U.S. futures market is still a hole in our global footprint .... The only way in is an acquisition." Cramer commented on how rapidly NYX drops, and Niederauer conceded NYX "trades in a very choppy way for a large-cap company." Although he can't predict when NYX will start moving up, Cramer says he is sticking with NYX.
Sell Block: Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC - News), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ - News), Guess? (NYSE: GES - News), Monster Worldwide (NasdaqGS: MNST - News)
While Cramer's predictions of NSC 's and JNJ 's declines were fulfilled, and GES jumped as he expected, Cramer admitted he missed "the big one" of the week, namely, the selloff and vitality in the bond market. The lesson from this error is "You ignore what the big institutional investors are doing at your own peril," Cramer said, and added investors should not overlook the bond market. Cramer is still hopeful that MNST will win a bid and believes the new CFO,Timothy Yates, will make moves toward selling the company.
Mad Mail: Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT - News), Target (NYSE: TGT - News), Lowes (NYSE: LOW - News), Verizon (NYSE: VZ - News)
Cramer says WMT's risk reward is superior to TGT's, which should be sold because it has increased substantially. Since WMT is not currently buildng new stores, the company can buy back stock and revamp its existing stores. Cramer adds he also likes LOW. He told another viewer Verizon has a solid yield and increasing growth. Concerning what action to take in the decline, Cramer coached his viewers; "Let it come in -- let the market open down ... If it opens up, do some selling. Don't do any buying. I'll tell you when I think it's overdone."
