Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Feb. 13th

Exxon (XOM), Conco-Phillips (COP), Schlumberger (SLB), Ultra Petroleum (UPL), Apache (APA), Anadarko (APC), XTO Energy (XTO), Arch Coal (ACI), Peabody Energy (BTU), First Solar (FSLR), Applied Materials (AMAT), MEMC Electronics (WFR), Mosaic (MOS), Deere (DE), CSX (CSX), Chicago Bridge and Iron (CBI), Jacobs Engineering (JEC), Shaw Group (SGR)
Contrary to popular belief, retail did not cause the rally in the Dow and the Nasdaq, but the culprit was oil, which is the umbrella that makes everything work. Not only did oil stocks like XOM, COP and SLB do well, but Cramer says oil will fuel other stocks the energy sector such as UPL, APA, XTO, ACI and BTU, as well as alternative energy plays FSLR (which reported a better-than-expected quarter and historically fabulous upside guidance), AMAT and WFR. Cramer considers ag stocks as members of the energy sector, given the development of ethanol, and would look at MOS, DE. He added rail such as CSX, and infrastructure, CBI, JEC and SGR will also rise with the oil umbrella.
Conviction Stock: FMC Corp (FMC)
A rally one day may spell a down day the next, and it is hard to know what a stock is really worth in this mad market, said Cramer. He was looking for a conviction stock which could give a little bit of certainty about what it was worth, and came up with FMC, a soda ash company in an underexposed sector which is currently enjoying a silent bull market. Soda ash is used to make glass, brick, water softener and most importantly, agricultural chemicals. Cramer says he feels certain that FMC will reach $70, a 30% upside.

Jim Cramer's Stop Trading Feb. 13th

Agriculture's stuck for the moment, but it's still a good long-term play, Jim Cramer said on CNBC's "Stop Trading!" segment Wednesday.
"Agrium (AGU) was on a monster good call," Cramer said, referring to the company's earnings report today. "I think Mosaic (MOS) is better than Agrium."
"I was concerned that Deere (DE) would come out and not say what the market wanted," Cramer said. He added that Potash (POT) has rolled over here.
Although he thinks the sector is great for the long term, "it's not all coming together right now." Of the agriculture stocks, he called Agrium "best in show right now, other than Mosaic."
For the group to pick back up, Cramer said, oil needs to reach $100 a barrel. "You gotta have that oil component come up," he stressed.
Still, some companies might be worth a look. "I think Deere ... makes a lot of sense here." He called the company a long-term buy. "Agrium is cheap. Mosaic is cheap." Cramer added that he likes fertilizer plays the best. "The group has stalled as a contingent except fertilizer. ... I think fertilizer is a worldwide oil and food play."
Cramer also pointed to natural gas, another group to watch. He likes Ultra Petroleum (UPL). He expressed exasperation that investors kept lamenting that nothing is hitting a new high.
"These stocks hit a new high every day. Coal hits a new high every day," he said. He concluded by stating he believes the global switch to natural gas is underway.

Jim Cramer's Stop Trading Jan. 15th

Citigroup (C) dropped the ball on today's earnings report, Jim Cramer said on CNBC's "Stop Trading!" segment Tuesday
I got this wrong," he said. "I expected bold action ... I didn't get bold action." Cramer was expecting CEO Vikram Pandit to take more writedowns this quarter to demonstrate that the bank was righting itself. "If you took all that capital ... I don't know why didn't you take out more of the bad."
Cramer added that saving triple-A rated bonds was a fool's errand. "Every other bit of triple-A ... is backed up by agency paper that you cannot afford. ... If you hide behind triple-A, it better be the American Automobile."
Pandit's management actions were not forceful enough either, Cramer believes. "I want to see [Japanese brokerage and Citi acquisition] Nikko Cordial out ... I want to hear a repudiation of previous management. ... It's time for [board member] Bob [Rubin] to move on."
The action by Citigroup was not decisive enough. "There was a chance the stock could've been up today. ... The stock could've been up if [Pandit] went clean clean clean," Cramer said. "I just wanted bold statements. I'm not asking for Jack Bauer."
Cramer recommended trading out of Citi common stock and buying convertible preferred shares. "I would love to be able to swap this," he said.
Cramer concluded the segment by issuing caution about a pick he'd been plugging for a long time: "Agriculture went parabolic yesterday. ... When stocks go parabolic, meaning they went up $8 like Mosaic (MOS) ... If you don't take something off the table, you're going to get hurt."
The entire agriculture sector is too hot lately, Cramer added, saying to watch out for stocks such as Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) and Deere (DE).

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 Stop Trading Jan. 11th

Stick with agriculture and recession stocks, Jim Cramer said on CNBC's "Stop Trading!" segment Friday.
"Mosaic (MOS) is terrific. ... I think Agrium (AGU) is a catch-up ... to Mosaic," Cramer said. "You're going to do better with that than ... betting against Procter (PG)."
More broadly, Cramer believes the market is frantic as shorts try to cover their bets on the bond insurers. "Today's a big short-squeeze day. 'Let's short squeeze Ambac (ABK) and MBIA (MBI).'"
In the financial sector, Cramer expects more take-unders like Bank of America's (BAC) purchase of Countrywide (CFC). He foresees Washington Mutual (WMon the auction block, adding that CEO "Kerry Killinger is doing his best to do a bad job. ... Washington Mutual at $15 is like Countrywide at $8."
Cramer encouraged investors to play conservatively. "I would be partial to Coke (KO)," he said, adding that he was encouraged that commodity prices are down for the soft-drink company. Pepsi (PEP) is another good pick, he added.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Review Dec. 7th

The Fuel is Greener: Deere (DE), Monsanto (MON), Bunge (BG), Mosaic (MOS), Agrium (AGU), Potash (POT)
When looking at the agriculture bull market, Cramer urged investors to think energy and not food. As oil prices rise, the pressure to develop alternative fuels from soybeans and corn will increase. This has been good news for farming stocks such as Deere, Bunge and Monsanto and especially fertilizer companies, Agrium, Potash and Mosaic. "All of these gains have been driven by demand," Cramer said and sees years of upside in this sector. However, since many agriculture stocks have already increased substantially, Cramer would wait for a decline before buying many of them.
Still Time for NYSE Euronext (NYX)
While NYX has been the worst performing stock Cramer has seen in 26 years in the business, he would stay with it. His thesis for owning the stock is unchanged and the only reason NYX went down is because "it was just going down…. Even though you hate owning it, nothing fundamental has changed for the company underneath it." In fact, NYX keeps beating estimates, its fundamentals are better than they were at the beginning of the year, and Cramer thinks this bear raid on NYX can't last forever.
Sitting on the Fed Fence: Kroger (KR), Costco (COST)
Cramer advised a wait and see strategy concerning the Fed meeting on Tuesday. A quarter point cut in rates could lead to recession fears and may bring some stocks down. On the other hand, a half a point cut could be a buying opportunity for banks tech and industrials. If it weren’t for the meeting, Cramer would suggest buying Costco and Kroger ahead of their earnings reports, but now he recommends waiting before making a move.
Meet the Mutual Fund Manager: Ron Muhlenkamp of Muhlenkamp (MUHLX) with stocks: Altria (MO), Devon Energy (DVN), Cemex (CX)
Cramer said investing in a mutual fund is really an investment in the fund’s manager, and invited Ron Muhlenkamp to discuss his strategy of finding good companies at low prices, particularly names others don’t recognize yet or like. He discussed MO, one of the fund’s holdings and said there is room to grow for DVN and CX.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Oct. 23rd

On Tuesday's show, Cramer began by analyzing another stock that has been put on sale after Friday's drop in the market. Shaw Group (SGR) had the best earnings of the quarter so far. Cramer thinks this is time to back up the truck and load up on the stock. Cramer still likes infrastructure plays like Shaw, and the earnings make it even more attractive.
Cramer then went to the phonelines. The first caller asked about Aecom (ACM), which Cramer recommended a couple of weeks ago. Cramer said it is still one of his favorites. The next caller asked about uranium prices, which Cramer attributed to production problems, and recommended Mosaic (MOS) as a good uranium play.
Next, Cramer discussed another pick he made based on the book "Microtrends," which Cramer has been plugging for about the past week. He found that the number of people working from home is increasing, which he thinks will be profitable for Cisco (CSCO), since its products will be needed to connect people to the office, including offerings from some companies they have bought out over the past few years.
Another caller asked about the tech sector in general, and Cramer said that he is the only person bullish on tech. The next caller asked why Cramer likes Cisco, and Cramer said he thinks it will be up consistently 15% a year.
Am I Diversified?
first caller asked about five stocks: Amgen (AMGN), Under Armour (UA), PetSmart (PETM), Goldman Sachs (GS) and EMC (EMC), the latter two of which Cramer owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS. Cramer said, "That is definite, definite diversification." The second caller named these five plays: IBM (IBM), Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY), Pfizer (PFE), Disney (DIS) Citigroup (C), which Cramer also owns for his charitable trust.
Mad Mail: The first email thanked Cramer for the show he did on October 19, where he gave his 5 rules for investing. The writer thinks that those tips will save him money in the future. The next email asked why Cramer didn't talk about Dry Ships (DRY) when he did his dry bulk shippers segment. Cramer said that it has gone up so much that he had to pass on it. The next writer invited Cramer to his daughter's Bat Mitzvah because the profits from his stock picks are paying for it, and the last email asked what to do with some Hershey (HSY) stock they own, and Cramer said to sell it any time the stock goes up.

Alcoa (NYSE: AA - News), Alcan (NYSE: AL - News), Cleveland Cliffs (NYSE: CLF - News): Cramer would play AA's bid for AL by purchasing some CLF, even though it is at its 52-week high. He noted CLF is a $3 billion company with a "tremendous" repository of iron, and he predicted iron will soon be in short supply. Cramer reiterated his comment that AA will not be public by next year; "This sector is so fluid, that I would not bet against anybody. Everybody's for sale."
Apple Inc. (NasdaqGS: AAPL), Boeing (NYSE: BA - News) and Deere & Co. (NYSE: DE - News): Cramer predicts these three will be breakout stocks, since Apple will release its iPhone next month, the aerospace cycle is "amazing," and agriculture is healthy; "we're off to the moon with DE," commented Cramer. He observed that while the stocks seem expensive on 2007, they are cheap on next year's earnings, and resolved to trade in his Zanderphone (referring to Motorola's CEO Ed Zander) for an iPhone.
Cameco (NYSE: CCJ - News) and Mosaic (NYSE: MOS - News): Cramer likes CCJ and MOS as a plays for producing uranium from phosphates but would wait until the stocks pull back because they have both have increased substantially. He prefers MOS since it has agriculture to fall back on.
