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

Jim Cramer's Wall Street Confidential Jan. 23

Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN - News), Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO - News), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL - News), Tellabs (NASDAQ: TLAB - News), Nortel (NYSE: NT - News), Alcatel (NYSE: ALU - News)
Cramer comments that TXN-led rally is a perfect chance to sell; "These are predictable rallies," he said. "When you have a very bad options hangover that finishes right near the end of the day, and you have a big, bad event like Texas Instruments to get through, then you're going to have a several-day rally." Cramer adds that he doesn't care for TLAB, NT and ALU, and the only two tech stock he would stick with are Apple and Cisco.
American Standard (NYSE: ASD - News) and Masco (NYSE: MAS - News) and Black & Decker (NYSE: BDK - News)
In spite of Goldman Sach's upgrade of the sector, Cramer warns that housing is being attacked by the shorts and the media, however, the "momentum of the buyers" is great. He adds that these stocks don't trade according to their fundamentals and that pin action companies such as ASD and MAS have been inching up every day. Cramer adds that Black and Decker is a buy because it has preannounced.
Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB - News), Transocean (NYSE: RIG - News), GlobalSantaFe (NYSE: GSF - News), Halliburton (NYSE: HAL - News), Hoku Scientific (NASDAQ: HOKU - News)
Cramer disagrees with an Bear Stearns call on oil which implies that SLB is clueless. He likes SLB,RIG and GSF, saying that he is usually cautious of Americna and Canadian drillers. He predicts that HAL will make an international acquisition. He calls HOKU a "trading vehicle" and says it will be a "huge short down the road." He concludes by commenting that while the President makes is seem as if he going to make a move toward alternative energy, investors will have to sell these stocks between 9:30 and 4:30 on Wednesday.
