Yamana Gold (NYSE: AUY - News): ' I am sticking by AUY as my play for when things go bad. That's what it is. It's basically a first aid kit you've got to take with you everywhere you go.'Total System Services (NYSE: TSS - News): 'You are in great shape. TSS, I believe, will not be independent a year from now ... I like TSS as a takeover. And, on earnings, it should go to $40 alone.'Celgene (NasdaqGS: CELG - News): 'The stock's had a nice pullback, which means you should back up the truck.

Alcoa Inc. (NYSE: AA - News), Altria (NYSE: MO - News), American Express (NYSE: AXP - News), American International Group (NYSE: AIG - News), AT&T (NYSE: T - News), Boeing (NYSE: BA - News)
Cramer predicted another 1,000 points for the Dow by the year's end and dedicated the week to discussing the 30 Dow stocks. He noted AA has been up 30% and predicts it will reach $42-$45. If it combines with Alcan, Cramer says AA could be part of a "delicious aluminum oligopoly." Cramer comments MO's 10% rise is not enough, especially given its 4% yield. Since it has spun off Kraft, Cramer envisions MO dividing into International and American divisions, one with a big dividend and one with growth potential. Cramer says AXP is "deceptive," since it quietly delivers but is up only 5% this year and is trailing behind Mastercard in valuation. He predicts AXP will climb up to $72. AIG doesn't get the respect it deserves, according to Cramer who says Metlife should not be worth more than AIG, which has a gigantic business in China. He says AIG has been held back by the massive selling of deposed head Maurice "Hank" Greenberg, and is a $81 name masquerading as a $71 stock. AT & T surpassed Cramer's expectations, since it has risen 13% after he predicted a mere 6 point rise. His new prediction is T will inch its way to $45. Cramer also revised his target for BA from $100 to $105 because of its excellent earnings.
Give Some Credit to Total System Services (NYSE: TSS - News), Automatic Data Processing (NYSE: ADP - News)
Cramer would buy TSS, a debit and credit card information card processor, which is a subsidiary of Synovus Financial. Although in similar situations, Cramer usually prefers a parent company, he feels that TSS could get taken over by a private equity firm. In addition, TSS has solid fundamentals, double-digit growth and is debt-free. While ADP may also be a takeover target, Cramer feels TSS is a better option because it is cheaper.
CEO Interview: John Sztykiel, Spartan Motors (NasdaqGS: SPAR)
John Sztykiel discussed the "tremendous amount of profitable growth ahead for the company," and explained the company is focused on three growth opportunities; mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles, recreational autos and emergency vehicles. While Cramer comments SPAR has paused for a bit, he likes its story and says it is in "bull-market" mode.
