Jim Cramer's Stop Trading Nov. 6th

Caterpillar (CAT), Deere (DE), Emerson (EMR), Parker-Hannifin (PH): Cramer expressed his disappointment at CAT's conference call and said the economy is no excuse when there are companies like Deere, EMR and PH which are executing "beautifully." Cramer commented, "I don't like explanations... I want results."
Under Armour (UA): Concerning Under Armour, Cramer said, "I definitely would have vomited when I saw these insider sales." Cramer called CEO Kevin Plank's sale of 1.5 million shares for almost $90 million a betrayal of UA's shareholders and agrees with Morgan Stanley's underperform rating.
ExxonMobil (XOM) and FMC (FTI) and Core Labs (CLB): While some were predicting a horrible quarter for XOM, Cramer says it is "right back" at $92. He recommended taking a look at FMC, which dropped 10% after its report and said CLB is an "unbelievable stock" that is $8 from its high. Cramer said, "If you want a real commodity play, it's FTI and it's CLB."

Jim Cramer's Lightning Round Oct. 22nd

Bullish calls:
Celgene (CELG): 'That is the best play.' eBay (EBAY): 'I re-recommended eBay after that quarter. ... They got a lot of cash, PayPal is really good. ... I reiterate on eBay.' Halliburton (HAL): 'The only reason Halliburton was up is because they are moving aggressively away from North America and are taking share from Schlumberger.'

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Oct. 8th

ValueClick (VCLK): Cramer said belongs to the same family of stocks as DoubleClick (DCLK), which Google (GOOG) is buying, and aQuantive, which Microsoft (MSFT) bought earlier this year. He was right about aQuantive and he believes he will be right about ValueClick. Microsoft might make this defensive acquisition of ValueClick, or there's a possibility Yahoo! (YHOO) could pick it up.
Jakks Pacific (JAKK), which has a lot of great toys, is that stock, he said. People should want this stock for its Hannah Montana, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Pokemon figurines. Cramer says is "irresistible," and could be bought as a trade or investment. It is trading at its growth rate and at "a big discount" to Hasbro (HAS) and Mattel.
On the Defensive Line
New York Giants defensive lineman Michael Strahan joined Cramer in the studio to tackle finance together. Strahan told Cramer he is very conservative and realistic about investing. Strahan also owns one stock, Under Armour (UA), which he said he got into during the company's IPO. Since buying Under Armour, Strahan said, his costs have been covered and he is operating on profits.
Mad Mail
Caterpillar (CAT): has substantial international exposure and is not a hostage of the U.S. GDP. This is part of the reason he likes Caterpillar so much. He owns it for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lighting Round Oct. 1st

Bullish:
Coca-Cola (KO) or Pepsi (PEP)
Investools (SWIM): Cramer likes the stock.
Skyworks (SWKS): Cramer likes this stock and RF Micro (RFMD) until the end of the year, and then he thinks it will be time to get out.
Media (FMCN) or Baidu.com (BIDU).
Best Buy (BBY) instead of Circuit City.
Under Armour (UA): Cramer thinks this quarter is going to be good, and that UA is the place to be.
Aircastle (AYR): Cramer likes the good yield, but the stock is not exciting.
Kraft (KFT)
Oracle (ORCL) is the better software play.
Bearish:
Melco (MPEL): Cramer thinks that they know nothing about the casino business. "Sell, sell, sell!"
China Precision (CPSL): Cramer thinks this is a sell, and that you should go with Focus.
Circuit City (CC): Cramer thinks there is nothing there
Invesco (IVZ): Go with T. Rowe Price (TROW) instead.
Level 3 Communications (LVLT): Cramer thinks you should stay away and that he needs to have the CEO on the show.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Sept. 27th

Underestimating Under Armour (UA)
Cramer would take advantage of UBS "unbelievable" downgrade of UA from $72 to $68 as a chance to buy a good stock. The reason for the downgrade was unseasonably warm temperatures, but Cramer says once the weather cools off, UA may rise.
Feminine Mystique: Hologic (HOLX) and Cytec(CYT)
Cramer recommends HOLX "the greatest women's healthcare company on earth" ahead of its proposed merger with CYT. The deal will allow both companies to consolidate, cut costs and grow beyond the 25% predicted for Hologic. However, Cramer emphasized the importance of buying ahead of the merger.
Sell Block: Savient (SVNT), Chattem (CHTT), Google (GOOG), Research In Motion (RIMM), Apple (APPl), Amazon (AMZN)
Although it was among Cramer's best speculative picks of the year, Savient has peaked and he believes the success of its Puricase drug is priced in the stock. Chattem has moved 100% since Cramer's initial recommendation, and he thinks it would be greedy not to sell. In a surprising apparent about face from his position earlier in the week, Cramer would take some gains in the four horsemen stocks: Google, Research in Motion, Apple and Amazon. Hedge funds are driving up the price of these stocks by purchasing shares at a high volume. He says the bubble should burst around Friday, at end of the quarter, and he would buy more then, since he believes the companies will rebound.
CEO Interview: Patrick O'Dea, Peet's Coffee and Tea (PEET)
Cramer asked Patrick O'Dea if he was worried about news that Starbuck's may face a decline, and O'Dea responded he thinks PEET's is a smaller company that focuses on the coffee rather than the ambience and is growing 20% every year. Cramer would stay with Peet's.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Sept. 20th

Goldman Sachs (GS): Cramer said they proved today that they're the only broker to own. Goldman Sachs proved itself during a downturn by shorting the mortgage market, Cramer said: "When you're right quarter after quarter after quarter, it isn't luck." They are underestimated by Wall Street, who believes that all brokers are the same, but Cramer says why settle for less when you can have GS for $230? He thinks they will be "dragged" into a higher multiple, but they deserve to sell at $300.
Yum! Brands (YUM): Cramer asked CEO David Novak how they have stayed consistent. Novak pointed out their "global portfolio" including Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut. Their diversity gives them earnings power and tremendous opportunities to expand around the world. Yum! is the No. 1 retail developer in the world, ahead of McDonald's (MCD) and Starbucks (SBUX). Yum! is building one restaurant per day in China and continues to grow elsewhere, Novak said. Cramer asked Novak what he though about YUM being an unhealthy brand. Novak: Out food tastes good and people are looking for taste. Also, their menu's are getting broader and their growth has been exceptional.
Lululemon Lowdown: (LULU)
Cramer: If you are looking for the next Crocs (CROX) or Under Armor (UA), look at LULU. It's a yoga-apparel company who’s stock is up 28% from when Cramer recommended it two months ago. It has growth potential as a woman’s apparel play; 51% of the population. Cramer spoke to lululemon CEO Robert Meers on the show. Meers thinks it's a global opportunity and that people will pay for their quality products and services. He also said they operate well in college towns. Cramer asked about their lack of stores. Meers said their brand "cachet" is very important and that the right thing to do "is be special." Meers also mentioned their 800 number that operates for home delivery.
Sell Block: Cramer was asked why the sudden switch to Wachovia (WB)? Cramer said Wachovia struggled before the rate cut, but it's going to perform better now that interest rates are lower. "Its value will increase" and investors need to change with new events. He added, "It's more important to be consistent with reality than you were before the world changed."
Sudden Death:
Bullish: Nastech (NSTK), Qwest (Q), China Mobile (CHL), Paccar (PCAR) and NVIDIA (NVDA).
Bearish: Qiao Xing (XING) and Acadia (ACAD).

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Aug. 8th

Wall Street Casino: Cisco (NasdaqGS: CSCO - News), Under Armour (NYSE: UA - News), Coke (NYSE: K - News), Pepsi (NYSE: PEP - News), Level 3 Communications (NasdaqGS: LVLT - News)Cramer compared the stock market to a poker table at the Fed's casino where Ben Bernanke can change the rules at will. Everyone thought John Chambers, CEO of Cisco, was bluffing when he said networking was strong and announced a big buyback five days before the end of the quarter, but it turned out he was holding a full house. Cramer doesn't think Cisco's luck has run out yet, and thinks LVLT also has a "hot" hand. Under Armour had a poker face all quarter and showed a straight flush. Everyone sees Coke and Pepsi's hand, comments Cramer, and they will always have three of a kind, which is good in the current environment. However, financials have such "crummy" hands that they don't even try to fake it anymore.CEO Interview: Mackey McDonald, VF Corp. (NYSE: VFC - News)Cramer praised VFC for focusing on its brands and for expanding overseas while the domestic retail sector has been challenged lately. McDonald said the consumer is still buying, but is concentrating on high-quality products. "having a portfolio of strong brands is extremely important," he added, "We're always looking for additional brands. We establish a target list of areas we're not strong in that we want to be strong in. We find the best brands to fit those needs and try to make the best acquisitions we can." Cramer says VFC doesn't need the American consumer to thrive.Mad Mail: Hitting HomeWhen a viewer asked Cramer if a cut in interest rates will be bad for the dollar and harm investor holdings relative to the rest of the world, he said he doesn't care about dollars and tariffs, but is concerned about millions of Americans who are faced with the prospect of losing their homes.Published By SeekingAlpha

I think this group is going to be on hold, and the better side is the defense stocks right now..'.Starbucks (NasdaqGS: SBUX - News): ' ...

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Aug. 1st

Running Away from Home: Bank Index (BKX)
Cramer would not only get out of housing stocks, he suggests investors may want to leave their homes altogether. This would be a "smart, right, rational" choice if home equity has declined 10%. He would also sell the Bank Index and mortgage companies; "the ripple effects extend pretty far and are pretty ugly."
What Works: Lululemon Athletics (LULU), Garmin (NasdaqGS: GRMN - News), Allergan (NYSE: AGN - News), Under Armour (NYSE: UA - News), Crocks (NasdaqGS: CROX - News), Raytheon (NYSE: RTN - News)
Cramer likes LULU, which was up on one of the market's darkest days. He also recommends GRMN, which rose 8 points and AGN because the "wheels of capitalism are greased by our need to have wrinkle-free skin." Cramer notes UA and CROX are both up and comments they have both been good trades, although he thinks UA will be better in the long run. His favorite defense pick, RTN, was "robbed" of reaching $60 after its report, but Cramer thinks its heading there.
CEO Interview: Jack Hartung, Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG - News)
Cramer asked Jack Hartung how the company is dealing with rising food prices. "It was worse by 100 basis points this quarter," he said, but stressed the rising prices are not affecting business because CMG uses higher quality food to begin with. Hartung mentioned two factors which are creating growth for CMG; "We look at the quality of real estate we can secure and the quality of managers we're developing." The company motivates managers by paying them a $10,000 bonus for every crew person they develop to become a manager. Cramer predicts the stock will rise tommorrow and would only sell when CMG has has three analyst upgrades (currently CMG has one upgrade).

Jim Cramer's Wall Street Confidential May 21st

Nike (NYSE: NKE - News), Foot Locker (NYSE: FL - News), Under Armour (NYSE: UA - News), Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS - News)
Cramer does not think Nike is guilty by its association with FL, which reported shocking cut in first quarter earnings estimates. Although Nike is not quite a "slam dunk" yet, because its performance has not been good, Cramer thinks the stock will exceed low expectations because of its popularity in China and because it has yet to move; "What I like about Nike best is that it's a great growth stock that's done nothing. It's very hard to find great growth stocks that have not advanced here, and Nike's the one." Cramer comments Nike is a performance-oriented brand, and added, "I believe that they can do fashion, but it's going to be in the Cole Haan kind of fashion." Another factor, he added is if UA is going to go after NKE, and Cramer commented on UA's estimated 25% growth when people were expecting 40%. While many predict NKE is going to have a bad quarter, "my sources indicate just the opposite," said Cramer, and suggested looking at DKS' quarter. Nike was at $54.25 on Monday, and Cramer comments it should reach $60 before it's fairly valued.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap May 18

Isdell Adds Life to Coke (NYSE: KO - News)
Continuing his series on "transformational CEOs," Cramer discussed Neville Isdell who transformed the "has been" company into one that is looking beyond carbonated beverages to new growth opportunities. Under previous management, Coke missed the opportunity to buy Quaker Oats and Gatorade, which was purchased by its nemesis, Pepsi. After losing significant ground, Coke is back, and its last quarter was " a wonder to behold," said Cramer. The company is expanding internationally and Cramer calls Coke Zero a "success story." He thinks this is just the beginning of Coke's comeback.

Next Week's Game Plan: Game Stop (NYSE: GME - News), Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI - News), Target (NYSE: TGT - News), CA (NYSE: CA - News), Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS - News), Under Armour (NYSE: UA - News), Nike (NYSE: NKE - News)
Cramer would buy GME ahead of its Wednesday report, but only if it is down on Monday or Tuesday, and he also suggests buying ADI before its Tuesday report. He would pick up TGT and CA before they report earnings on Wednesday and would buy more TGT after Wednesday. Cramer would invest in UA and NKE before DKS reports on Wednesday.
Risky Delphi (Other OTC: DPHIQ.PK - News)
Although Delphi is bankrupt, trades on pink sheets and is around only $2 a share, three qualities he avoids in any stock, Cramer thinks "this company might have something big going on." First, Cerberus Capital Management and Appaloosa Management are offering Delphi a deal that would help get the company out of bankruptcy and may bring the stock up double. While Highland Capital Management values Delphi even higher, Cramer thinks the first deal is more likely to materialize. The stock is too risky for Cramer, who sees a two down, five up scenario; "but the two down could come first." However, he thinks Delphi may have an interesting story for the risk-takers.

Microsoft (NasdaqGS: MSFT), aQuantive (NasdaqGS: AQNT), Yahoo (NasdaqGS: YHOO): Cramer calls MSFT's bid to buy AQNT at $6 billion a "game changer," and he doesn't see any reason why it wouldn't also buy YHOO for $50 billion. The bid may usher in the beginning of a "land grab against Google." While Cramer wouldn't buy a down company solely because of a potential takeover, he notes YHOO has great traffic and thinks the stock could reach $34 immediately if CEO Terry Semel takes a "permanent vacation."
Verizon (NYSE: VZ - News), Dicks Sporting Goods, (NYSE: DKS - News), UnderArmour (NYSE: UA - News): Cramer wished a good weekend to the Citigroup analyst who upgraded VZ, but added he is "late," and the good news at the company is not new. Cramer predicts DKS' conference call will indicate a comeback for UA which is "done going down."
Baker Hughes (NYSE: BHI - News), Canetic Resources Trust (NYSE: CNE - News), Nabors (NYSE: NBR - News), Halliburton (NYSE: HAL - News), Grant Pridecos (NYSE: GRP - News), Grey Wolf (AMEX: GW - News): On BHI's report of rising rig counts, Cramer sees a growth in natural gas drilling which had been "written off," and he would take a look at CNE, NBR, HAL, GRP and even GW.
