Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Oct. 3rd

Barrick Gold (ABX), Cramer: "the best gold stock to buy right now." Gold is breaking out because of the weak dollar, lower short-term rates and worries about inflation. Cramer prefers Barrick over other gold companies, because they have a lot of gold reserves and are "totally prepared for higher gold prices." The next call was about Freeport McMoran (FCX). Cramer thinks it will keep going up to $120.
Overlooked IPO's:
AthenaHealth (ATH). Cramer likes its subscription revenue and growth prospects. Athenahealth has 42% growth. He then took some more phone calls.
A caller asked about LDK Solar (LDK); Cramer doesn't like because he thinks there is a big sell off in China stocks coming. He also likes First Solar (FSLR) better.
Another caller asked about Blackstone (BX). Cramer thinks the stock has bottomed out and that there is a short term trading opportunity here.
Am I diversified?
First caller named the following five stocks: SAP (SAP), Annaly Capital Management (NLY), Nvidia (NVDA), BEA Systems (BEAS) and Honeywell (HON). Cramer said too many tech stocks. He said to keep BEA and consider buying a health care stock.
Second caller had Apple (AAPL), Trimble (TRMB), Xoma (XOMA), Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) and Goldman Sachs (GS). He suggested selling Trimble and, again, picking up a health care cost-container like Hologic.
The last player's five picks: Monsanto (MON), PepsiCo (PEP) Research In Motion (RIMM), U.S. Steel (X) and Exxon Mobil (XOM). Cramer blessed the portfolio as diversified.
Mad Mail: Responding to an email, Cramer called Walgreen (WAG) "still too expensive," and said he likes the cheaper CVS (CVS), which he owns for his charitable trust, better. He said, "Stay away from Walgreen."
Sudden Death: Cramer was bullish on Flotek Industries (FTK), Celgene (CELG) and Crocs (CROX).
