Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI - News), Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD - News), Denny's (NASDAQ: DENN - News), Level 3 (NASDAQ: LVLT - News), Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO - News), Sysco (NYSE: SYY - News), Mercury General (NYSE: MCY - News): Cramer discussed single-digit stocks which he predicts will go higher as investors realize how good they are. He notes that BBI is giving Netflix some agressive competition, Rite Aid is buying Eckherd stores at a low price, Denny's is still underestimated in spite of improvements, and LVLT is making smart acquisitions which allow analysts to raise numbers. Concerning I.Q. Trends' lucky 13 for 2007, Cramer says he likes Cisco and similar-sounding food server Sysco, but would stay away from auto insurer Mercury General.
