Unlike most financial freaks, you know I like to stay faaaaaaar away for the economic guessing game, not because I don’t have opinions/do research on consumer spending, oil, housing, etc. but because I don’t pretend to be able to guess the changing time lags associated with pricing these issues into the stock market. Yup, that’s [...]

Freeport-McMoRan (FCX)With rising global demand for raw materials, the mining sector will be on fire for the long-term, and Cramer's favorite pick is FCX. Demand for copper is increasing, supplies dwindle, and since FCX is a leader in copper mining, it should be the chief beneficiary. In addition, FCX has an "unbelievably great" buyback. While there is a lot of consolidation in the sector, Cramer says FCX is doing fine on its own.Hudson City Bancorp (HBCK), Wells Fargo (WFC)While Cramer feels confident there will be a rate cut and recommends owning a bank stock, he cautions investors to look for a more stable financial in case the Fed surprises him. Cramer praised HBCK's common sense business model: "It takes deposits; it lends to good, hard-working people who then pay the loans back." HBCK is careful about choosing its borrowers, has fewer non-performing loans than relatively stable bank WFC and is rewarded with loyal customers because it doesn't slap on outrageous fees.CEO Intervi

General Dynamics (GD), Alliant Techsystems (ATK), L-3 communications (LLL), Raytheon (RTN), Lockheed Martin (LMT) Northrop Grumman (NOC)Faced with the prospect of an economic slowdown, investors should look to defense stocks which "are the darlings of Wall Street…regardless of how the economy is doing." Political considerations won't affect the stocks, since Republicans like to spend on defense and Democrats want to look strong. Cramer concentrated on RTN since his prior recommendations, GD, ATK, LLL, LMT and NOC have all gone up. Cramer thinks RTN can easily beat its lukewarm guidance and notes the company's "fabulous" buyback and international growth.ConcoPhillips (COP)The oils have crept down on news of new taxes for oil companies and are low at least compared to rising crude costs. Cramer would use any dip as a buying opportunity for a long-term investment because "there's a simple case for oil … We're running out of it." He prefers COP because it is inexpensive, sells natu
J. Crew (JCG) was the only stock pick Cramer offered on CNBC's "Stop Trading!" segment Tuesday, but its quarter was so good that Cramer had CEO Mickey Drexler sign a conference call transcript as a keepsake."The guy's my hero," Cramer said, explaining his fanaticism. "It was a great quarter."During the remainder of the segment, Cramer discussed the continuing liquidity crisis.The matter comes down to CEO confidence, Cramer believes. "If they have liquidity... why are the cancellations so great? ... People are talking about 30%" of loans ending in foreclosure, Cramer said.No one knows how bad things are, he said. "We can't loan to this level of value, and we can't get appraisal," he said. "In the Toll Brothers (TOL) call, [CEO Robert Toll said] at this time next year we'll be worrying more about the election than we will about housing prices."The market is "not priced out, but mortgaged out," Cramer stressed. "That's a confidence issue.""When you want a home, it's very hard for y
On Tuesday's show, Cramer began by saying today is a perfect example of why you need to stay in the investing game. He said that Citigroup (C) went from a stock you must stay away from to a stock you must own after Abu Dhabi bought a large stake. It was also announced that they might buy into two more Dow stocks, so Cramer is looking for a way to profit from this trend. Cramer said focus on Halliburton (HAL) because it is trading at a large discount to other oil service stocks. He thinks that it could be worth $53 per share, and that these Arab states will invest in what they know, oil. One issue with the stock is that the company is hated by politicians in the U.S., but Cramer doesn't seem to think that Dubai or Abi Dhabi cares.Then Cramer went to the phonelines. The first caller asked about opportunities in shale oil stocks, and Cramer recommended that people buy Suncor (SU) immediately. The next caller asked about the proposed takeover of BHP Billiton (BHP). Cramer is bullish on t
Thursday's show was a recap of Cramer's show on Christmas of last year. He told viewers that faith did not cut it when being an investor, but that you have to be skeptical. Always consider the source making an announcement about a stock. He explained how and why he was qualified to be on a show giving his opinion. He said it is not just because he successfully ran a hedge fund for 14 years, because that is much different than investing on your own time. He said that it is not only because of his experience and because he works like a "dog" on the show, but because he played for the bad guys. He said hedge funds are very predatory, especially with people like him. Hedge funds do nothing for society but help the rich get richer, said Cramer. He said if anything it takes away from the individual investor. He said now he works for the good guys and gives them the tips that hedge funds use to be successful. Cramer said that when he graduated from college he wanted to be a journalist, not
On Tuesday's show Cramer gave out 5 rules for investing in the stock market. His first rule is that there is a market for everything, including the stocks themselves. He said an example was how ethanol stocks were very hot about a year ago, and then several IPOs came on the market, so there was an oversupply of ethanol stocks on the market and the entire sector went down. So the ethanol business and news didn't matter because there were too many ethanol stocks available. Cramer said another example was his recommendation of Sealy (ZZ) at its IPO where he liked the stock, but didn't realize that there was a glut of IPOs, so the IPO market was saturated and the stock tanked.Cramer took soma calls. The first caller asked how you can know whether an IPO is a good investment or not, and Cramer said that the key is the offering price for the shares. Another caller asked if there are any sectors that Wall Street overlooks, and Cramer said that you should look for a sector that used to have
Cramer spent Monday's show reviewing the common mistakes that he and other investors make. His first mistake is buy and hold investing. It is based on the premise that your stock will go up if you just wait long enough, which makes people not do their homework. Cramer wants you to buy a stock and do your homework. Then Cramer went to the phonelines. The first caller asked whether people who only have a small amount of money should invest short term or longer term, and Cramer said that you should have a plan for a stock before you buy it. The next caller asked why Cramer likes to listen to conference calls, and he said that he can hear whether the company is feeling confident about their earnings, and what the big investors are looking for. Another caller asked what homework investors should be doing, and Cramer said that you should watch the stock for a while, find a reason to do some research, and then go out and read the earnings reports and financial statements.The second mistake p
On Thursdays show, Cramer talked about the confusion in the markets, and how you should be looking to invest in companies that can control their own destiny and have strong customers. Cramer thinks that Quanta Services (PWR) is a stock that fits this profile. He said it is an infrastructure play, they have a large backlog, and they bought one of their major competitors in August, so they have less competition now. Cramer does not think this is the time to make a trade into this stock, but he thinks it will make money over the longer term.After that Cramer went to the phonelines. The first caller asked if now is the time to buy transportation infrastructure stocks, and Cramer recommended Chicago Bridge and Iron (CBI), plus told the caller to watch for another pick later in the show. The next caller asked about Mueller Water (MWA), and Cramer said that he likes Tetra Tech (TTEK) instead because he thinks Mueller is poorly run. Third caller asked about Shaw Group (SGR) since it has droppe
Cramer began Wednesday's show talking about Wal-Mart's (WMT) good quarter and investment ideas from its conference call. Cramer remarked how well GameStop will do during the holidays and how other consumer electronics will continue to be strong. Cramer disagrees on digital cameras because they're made in China making them hard to buy right now. He does not like Garmin (GRMN) either. In computers, Cramer supports Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), which Wal-Mart is not a big carrier of. They do sell Dell but Cramer prefers HP. He mentioned Activision as a possible investment for video games, but prefers GameStop.TV's: Cramer considered Corning (GLW), who are involved in liquid crystal display televisions. It is not trading as high as it should be, but has a raised outlook in pricing. It has bendable fiber not priced in the stock and is heading much higher.Am I Diversified?The first caller had Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI), Ford (F), AT&T (T), McDonald's (MCD) and Human Genome Sciences (HGS
On Monday's show, Cramer started with his reasons that the market has not hit a bottom yet. He does not think that the Fed will continue to cut rates, and that mortgages and weak consumers will hurt stocks. Cramer thinks this is a time to preserve capital, not go on the offensive in this market.Cramer then went to the phone lines. The first caller asked whether options expiration will cause the market to fall further, and Cramer said that he thinks tomorrow is the time to pick up some of the good stocks that have been hit the hardest over the past few days. Second caller asked Cramer how a weak dollar helps the economy, and what companies are in the best position to take advantage of it? Cramer said that he thinks the dollar is about to bottom, so he doesn't want anyone to try and profit off of a weak dollar now. The next caller asked if now is the time to buy a stock like Sandridge (SD), and Cramer said that he wants you to buy high quality oil stocks that pay high dividends before
Today's show began by Cramer telling us how to survive a recession caused by the real estate market because of the sell off that has happened the past two days. He said that you should sell any stock that has anything to do with housing, home building, finance, consumer spending, and any company that needs to borrow money to do business.Then Cramer went to the phonelines. The first caller asked if we should be concerned about inflated assets being held by financial stocks, and Cramer said that these companies don't know what they are holding and that the industry is in disarray. Next caller asked about the price of oil, and Cramer said he is sticking with his $100 per barrel prediction. The last caller asked if Cramer still recommends investing in gold, and Cramer said that he thinks you should keep 10% of your portfolio in gold and gold related stocks.Cramer then gave some stocks that he thinks will do well even if a recession happens. Altria (MO) has a large international business
Bullish: Boston Beer (SAM), beer brewers are in right now, so he wants to buy it at this price.Research In Motion (RIMM), take half your profits off the table and wait for a dip in the stock to buy.Monsanto (MON), Cramer thinks this is a buyDeere (DE), Potash (POT) Bunge (BG), Syngenta (SYT), Mosaic (MOS), Agrium (AGU), XTO Energy (XTO), Devon Energy (DVN), Apache (APA), Prudential (PRU), Intel (INTC), athenahealth (ATHN) - Cramer is bullish on this stock,UnitedHealth (UNH). Bearish:Delta Petroleum (DPTR), rather have you in XTO, Devon Petroleum or Apache (APA)Excel Maritime Carriers (EXM), too volatile to recommend at this price.MetLife (MET) SanDisk (SNDK). Buy Intel before you buy SanDisk.
Wednesday's show began with Cramer discussing who he thinks is to blame for the 361 point drop on the Dow. His answers were Supermodel Gisele Bundchen and New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. Gisele recently announced that she doesn't want to be paid in dollars any more since it is weak, and then a Chinese official followed up with a statement this morning that they might sell some of their dollar reserves. Cramer doesn't think that this announcement from China is true. Cuomo then announced that he will probe Washington Mutual to see if they forced appraisers to inflate their estimates so they could make loans. Cramer believes that this will scare mortgage lenders and make them require higher down payments, which is the last thing the lenders need.Cramer then went to the phonelines. The first caller asked about hedging the dollar by investing in international mutual funds, and Cramer said he thinks 20% of your portfolio should be foreign. The second caller asked about Nasdaq (NAD
On Tuesday’s show, Cramer focused on green stocks that are good investments. Cramer reviewed his green picks from back in April to see how they had done since then.Shaw Group (SGR): It is up 143% from about $30 to $74 since April.Foster-Wheeler (FWLT): It is up 99% since April and had great earnings last quarter.BorgWarner (BWA): It is up 38% since April, and Cramer thinks it will go higher because it has an increasing backlog.OM Group (OMG): This is the only stock that is down since April, falling 5%. Cramer thinks the stock has started to bounce back from its lows already.First Solar (FSLR): The stock has climbed 171% and Cramer is still bullish, but wants you to wait until after it reports earnings on Wednesday before buying more.Fuel Tech (FTEK): This stock is up 35%, but guided down after reporting earnings Tuesday morning.MEMC (WFR): This stock is up 20% since April and Cramer thinks the company will grow 52% over the next two years.Tatra Tech (TTI): It is up 14% since April, a
NCR (NCR) and Eastman Kodak (EK) are two stocks with a great deal of potential upside and a cushion to the downside. NCR, is a leading manufacturer and designer of ATMs and scanners. Because of its recent anonymity, NCR is a great play on the rise of the middle class in the former U.S.S.R. and the Third World. Cramer says NCR has a huge buyback coming. NCR is sporting 17% growth in ATM sales, with Europe having only 500 ATMs per million people and even fewer in China. A sleeper stock that deserves more attention. Eastman Kodak might not seem like a good buy being a couple points above a 52-week low. Cramer has been betting against Kodak since he started his hedge fund, but he believes the company is about to turn around. After years of losses, its balance sheet is healthy now, sporting $6 of net cash per share. With $82 million in digital income, Kodak is ready to come back alive.CEO Wall of ShameCramer finally removed Citigroup (C) CEO Chuck Prince from his Wall of Shame. He replaced

"Yes, I would buy it," Cramer said.Cramer also said Merrill Lynch (MER) "was a comedy that became a farce" just ahead of yesterday's cashiering of CEO Stan O'Neal, whereas Citi (C) -- which still employs embattled chief Chuck Prince -- remains for now a mere comedy.Published By TheStreet.com

Cramer began Tuesday's show by talking about investing opportunities in Brazil. Cramer believes that Brazil is a good place to invest because it will profit from lowered interest rates in the US and improving investment conditions. His top Brazil play is Banco Bradesco (BBD). Cramer had recommended this stock earlier this year, and then told people to switch into Banco Itau (ITU). Now he wants you to go back to Bradesco because it is cheaper and has better growth prospects.Southern Copper (PCU): Cramer took a call asking if PCU would react to the falling dollar, and Cramer said not to worry about the US economy much when investing in Brazil. Next Cramer talked about an FCC ruling that is expected tomorrow which will eliminate agreements between cable companies and apartment owners. Cramer also thinks that Corning (GLW) will profit from the removal of these contracts, since Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) will move into apartments, and they will need to lay fiber to do so. Cramer also th

While Cramer's boardroom gig is currently slated to last just one episode, the Mad Money host says he would welcome the opportunity to participate in more of the currently-filming seventh The Appentice edition's boardroom grillings.

After 10 trading days, the recommended stocks have only slighty underperformed the market, losing only -0.07% versus a gain in the S&P 500 of 0.24% for the period. Of these, Vector Group (VGR) performed the best relative to the index. Overall, not bad, but not good.

On Monday's show, Cramer said that he thinks retailers will have a turnaround. He believes that the good retailers can't fall any further, and that there will be 2 more rate cuts before the end of the year, which he thinks is bullish for retailers if you look back at their past performance after rate cuts. Cramer also said that the change in the weather will allow retailers to move some of their new winter products. His first two retail picks are Ralph Lauren (RL) and Nordstrom (JWN). Both of these stocks are down big from their recent highs, and he thinks that luxury goods retailers will be the first to turn around since people with more money to spend won't be as concerned with economical concerns, making both of these stocks bargains.Cramer then went to the phonelines. The first caller asked about J.C. Penney (JCP), and Cramer said that he likes the stock, but can't pull the trigger because he thinks it will be behind the luxury retailers when the sector turns around. The next c
On the October 12th edition of Mad Money, Jim Cramer interviewed Carl Icahn and congratulated him on the bid by software giant Oracle to acquire BEA Systems (BEAS), which Icahn had been working on for months. Cramer had been recommending BEAS consistently since the summer of 2006 on a takeover possibility. In the December 11, 2006 Lightning Round, Cramer again reiterated his recommendation on the stock stating, "It has obviously been hurt by the options ugly stick, but BEAS should not be punished. That is a legitimate software transaction platform that I think one day, if they don't get the stock up, will be purchased by Oracle (ORCL)."
Again on September 18, Jim recommended BEA Systems (BEAS) on account of billionaire investor Carl Icahn's increasing share of the company, saying a buyout was imminent.

On Friday, Cramer interviewed Mitt Romney, Republican candidate for president in 2008. They talked about his business background, his plans for the country, and his campaign."Speculation Friday" Cramer talked about a stock that he has been bearish on since he began the show. The stock is Skechers USA (SKX), which he thinks is poised for a turnaround since it beat earnings this week with strong revenue growth and international growth. If the company can expand its margins as the CEO promised, Cramer thinks this can be a $31 stock.Cramer then went to the phone lines. The first caller asked about Nike (NKE) and their acquisition of Umbro, which Cramer likes and wishes he hadn't sold. The next caller asked about Heelys (HLYS), and Cramer said to stay away.Before the Lightning Round Cramer did some housecleaning. First he said that he likes Starent Networks (STAR) again, since the price has dropped down to where he first recommended it. Next he said that Synta Pharmaceutical (SNTA) is risk
Today's show started with Cramer putting on a straitjacket because the market is driving him crazy with all the wild swings going on in the major indexes. Psychiatric Solutions (PSYS) was his first recommendation of the day. It is the largest mental health service provider in the US. Cramer thinks that this stock is safe from all the problems in the market, and that it has a solid base and potential for growth. He is bullish on the stock and thinks that it could be worth up to $60.Cramer then took some phone calls. The first caller asked for some good diabetes plays, and Cramer gave her Nastech Pharmaceutical (NSTK) and Novo Nordisk (NVO). The next caller asked about Synta Pharmaceuticals (SNTA), and Cramer said he needs to do his homework on it.Cramer's most recent pick from "Microtrends" was Gamestop (GME) because the book says that the average video game player is now 33 years old, meaning that gamers have more money to spend on games and consoles since they are adults. Cramer al
Stay away from financial stocks like mortgage insurer MGIC (MTG), Jim Cramer said Thursday on CNBC's Stop Trading! segment.Cramer said the sector is "dreadful" and that investors must resist the temptation to assume the worst is past in the housing sector. Cramer said that until we've seen $500 billion in mortgage defaults, it is simply too dangerous to try buying any of the financial names -- let alone an outfit like MGIC that just cut its dividend by 90%.Cramer also said investors should avoid oil service company Nabors (NBR), which he likened to Baltic Ave. on the Monopoly board. Cramer said even Schlumberger (SLB), which was "Park Place" before last Friday's earnings miss, is a dubious investment right now.Published By TheStreet.com

Sell Coach (COH), Jim Cramer said Tuesday on CNBC's Stop Trading! segment.Cramer said he was wrong with a call last quarter to buy the accessories retailer in the low $40s. That fact came to light Tuesday morning, when Coach issued cautious year-end guidance, sending its shares plunging 13% in furious trading, to $36 and change.Cramer doesn't like the mortgage insurers either. He'd be selling PMI (PMI) and MGIC (MTG) off yesterday's Lehman Bros. downgrade of the sector."They sliced through book value," Cramer said of the mortgage insurance stocks, which were each off 11% in heavy trading Tuesday after similar declines Friday.

On Friday Cramer returned from his trip to Georgia Tech to teach his viewers how to invest like the pros. He discussed five different mistakes that amateur investors make that professional investors don't. The first thing Cramer recommend amateur investors to do is have cash on hand to buy stocks when the market goes down and good stocks go on sale. Cramer recommended having 10% in cash in your portfolio. The second thing he said to do was to consider the downside of risk and not only the potential rewards. Thirdly, Cramer said that pros try not to invest in things that they don't know or understand. Fourth, Cramer said you can make too much money, because it probably means you overexposed to one sector or stock. The example Cramer gave on the show was the dot-com era where everyone was investing in tech stocks. Finally, Cramer said that amateurs try to game quarterly earnings reports to catch a quick gain, whereas professionals learn to start living and stop worrying about the quart
Cramer continued his Back to School Tour today at Georgia Tech. He began by talking about InterContinental Exchange (ICE), which is up 131% since Cramer recommended it last March, and he thinks it still has room to go up since it profits off the volatility in the commodity markets. Cramer also thinks that this exchange might be bought out by NYSE EuroNext (NYX) which will bail him out of his NYX recommendation, which has been killing him all year. He believes NYX could pay up to $200 per share for the company. Cramer then took some questions from the audience. The first question was about exchanges investing in China, and Cramer said that he thinks Coca-Cola (KO) and Yum! Brands (YUM) are the best ways to play China.Cramer then interviewed the CEO of Coca-Cola (KO), and they talked about the earning prospects for the stock and its international growth plans. Cramer is bullish on the stock, and is a fan of the CEO.After the lightning round Cramer went over some stock picks with the Geor

Pepsi (PEP): stock went down almost 2 points. The quarterly report showed that the raw costs hurt the numbers in many of their domestic products, and thinks that many people are concerned that price increases will hurt sales. Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi was on the show to discuss the numbers, which she was very happy with. Nooyi thinks they can handle increased commodity costs and that earning will continue to increase.Next, Cramer dressed up like a matador and talked about a Spanish stock. Cramer thinks that Spain has a good bull market, and that Banco Santander (STD) will prosper from its home market and the strength of the Euro compared to the US. Cramer said STD will make some acquisitions in the US and Latin America, growing and diversifying the bank's asset base. Cramer could see the stock making a 20% increase in the stock and a dividend increase as well.Cramer took a couple of phone calls. First caller asked about Wells Fargo (WFC), and Cramer said that he likes the stock, but not a

Buy Costco (COST), Jim Cramer said Wednesday on CNBC's Stop Trading! segment.Cramer said the warehouse retailer is uniquely attractive to shoppers because it's an ever-changing experience. "They have an exciting thing," he said. "They made it so you can't regard it as a Wal-Mart (WMT) or a Target (TGT )."Cramer likes Gap (GPS) because of the incentives set up for new management.Cramer still likes refiners Valero (VLO), Chevron (CVX) and Conoco (COP) despite recent warnings by Valero and Chevron, because he says recent weeks have seen refining margins "explode."
;
Google (GOOG): Today's show started with Cramer talking about Google. He talked about all the Google non-believers, and then talked about the reasons that he thinks the stock will keep going higher. He has set his price target at $750, and believes it's not too late to get into the stock right now. He thinks it is a great company and has been undervalued every day "of it's existence." He told viewers that if they're afraid to buy such an expensive stock, divide it by 10 and think of it in that sense. Buy Buy Buy!Next Cramer listed medical device makers that he likes by building a theoretical bionic woman. The first stock he listed was Alcon (ACL) which makes eye care products. He also recommended Smith and Nephew (SNN) and Stryker (SYK). His favorite one is Stryker, which he thinks could give you a 36% gain. Stryker has some litigation pending, but once that is settled he thinks the stock will take off. He also believes that the stock will do well if the economy slows. A caller ask
Trade like a ProCramer said only pull stocks off the high list if you are sure they will come back. The company must be intact. A caller asked for advice on stocks rebounding from 52 week lows. Cramer said look for insider buying to determine whether it is the market dragging the stock down. Third caller asked what Cramer means by a "walked up" stock. Cramer said it's illegal and enforced by the SEC. Next caller asked what circumstances Cramer would pay two times growth. Master the MarketsBe patient with stocks right off the high list. If stock on the new high list is "infuego," consider buying. Look at what the insiders are doing before you act. Caution though, because insiders could be buying to boost appeal. Buy when a company is buying too. A caller asked about ways to safeguard ourselves from high volumes of insider buying. Cramer said the SEC is responsibility. Another caller asked about stocks that are splitting or paying dividends. Cramer: nothing positive about splits and pul

Jim Cramer has been consistently positive on Allergan (AGN), telling viewers to buy the stock since 6/7/2006 when he featured it on Mad Money a little over a year ago. Since then, the stock has risen nearly 30% on the back of its diverse drug portfolio and its signature Botox treatment. On 9/5/2006, Cramer declared the stock "in perpetual mon' back mode."
Chairman and CEO David Pyott has appeared on the show twice, and Cramer gave the stock strong buy calls after each instance. On 12/11/2006, Jim was quoted as saying, "the other day we saw a downgrade of this stock by Thomas Weisel Partners, downgrading on valuation. He's wrong. David's right." Lately, on 10/5/2007, Jim noted again, "Now, I cannot stress enough how remarkable this company is, it's turned itself into a one stop shop for all the cosmetic procedures!"

He said he wished the report had been written earlier, but it was very well researched.

On today's show, Cramer started off by talking about the good news that General Motors (GM) received with the completion of their labor talks that he thinks will move the stock to $45, and the rumors that Warren Buffet is buying a stake in Bear Stearns (BSC) that will move it higher, along with other financial stocks Citigroup (C), AIG (AIG), J.P. Morgan (JPM), and American Express (AXP). Cramer then started talking about buying inexpensive oil stocks when there is a pullback in oil prices. His stock choice is Gardner Denver (GDI) that will profit from higher oil prices and a weaker dollar. Compared with similar stocks such as Baker Hughes (BHI), National Oilwell Varco (NOV) and Schlumberger (SLB), Gardner Denver's multiple is too low.

Buy Monsanto (MON), Jim Cramer said Wednesday on CNBC's "Stop Trading!" segment.Cramer said he'd wait till Friday to buy the stock because it's being marked up as quarter-end approaches by huge institutional money managers. But even at a recent $83, it remains a good long-term play, Cramer said, because of its exposure to the fast-growing energy and agriculture markets.Cramer also likes Nvidia (NVDA) and SanDisk (SNDK), and he applauded the big labor settlement that will cut health-care costs at GM (GM). But Cramer said he wouldn't buy GM till it came down to $29 from a recent $37, given the company's hefty financing costs and other issues.

One 9/20/2007, Jim Cramer claimed that he had been behind Goldman Sachs (GS) all the way since the show started. With the stockTagger database in hand, I attempted to figure out if this has been true, and for the most part it has as Cramer rode the stock from 120 to 215 where it currently sits. Cramer has alerted viewers to short term price fluctuations in the past, being correct in almost every short-term instance.
On 5/16/06, in response to a caller's question about CME Group (CME) (Chicago Mercantile Exchange), Cramer said of financial stocks, "I happen to think that this stock is part of a complex of names including BOT, International Securities Exchange Holdings (ISE) and, let's go further, Goldman Sachs (GS), Lehman Brothers (LEH), and Bear Sterns (BSC) that is not done coming down. I see a shift in the market toward the companies that do better when the short rates are done going up, thank you Federal Reserve. And you're stock, and that whole other complex, is going to ta
Buy Magna (MGA), Jim Cramer said Tuesday on CNBC's Stop Trading! segment.Cramer said investors in the auto supplier sector should be considering how exposed the various players are to Russia, which he said is a wealthy nation whose growth will be a driver of fortunes in this group.Cramer also likes BorgWarner (BWA) and Tenneco (TEN), though he cautioned Tenneco is the most expensive in the group and has the worst balance sheet. Magna, by contrast, is the "best run" company and has been "a monstrous good stock."

Cramer started off by saying that it's important to buy stocks that will bounce back the hardest.CBRL Group (CBRL): operator of the iconic Cracker Barrel restaurant chain. Cramer believes that the company is in a good position after revamping their menus and buying back a ton of stock. They had the biggest buyback in percentage of shares outstanding of any company at 54% over the past year. Cramer is crazy about the buyback.He then took a couple of calls: One caller asked about Brinker International (EAT), which Cramer doesn't like at all. Another caller asked about Wendy's (WEN) and Cramer said don't even look at Wendy's. He suggested that he get in McDonald's (MCD) instead because it is best of breed.Yesterday, Cramer discussed how Best Buy is leveraging their growth by expanding international. Tuesday he discussed Textron Inc. (TXT). He feels that its Cessna unit will have large worldwide demand in the upcoming years. Honeywell (HON), a company that has been very successful at
Buy Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) and Research In Motion (RIMM), Jim Cramer said Monday on CNBC's "Stop Trading!" segment.Cramer rejected the notion that the iPhone will flop in Europe, saying Apple understands fashion. He said Google is more a direct mail play than a branding play, which makes the company well positioned to benefit from a slowdown. Cramer said RIM will continue to blow out numbers even if its stock has had a huge run, and Amazon will pick up business as more consumers stay home to avoid paying for gas on their way to the mall.

Jim Cramer has only recently remained bullish on Baidu.com (BIDU) as the price of the stock hit 128 in May 2007. He has commonly rejected owning Chinese stocks, instead recommending high quality American companies that benefit from the growth of the Chinese economy, but Baidu.com (BIDU) has become too hot to ignore. Cramer briefly went positive on Baidu.com in a January 2007 lightning round when he stated, "True confession time. I have been itching to buy this BIDU, to recommend it on the show. I keep waiting for a down day. It is killing me. I am right now sanctioning a small buy in BIDU right here, praying that it will come down so I can say buy, buy, buy on the show. You've got a winner."
Soon after on 2/9/2007, he correctly predicted that the stock would trade dramatically lower after reporting the quarter's earnings. Disappointing Q1 earnings plus a worldwide selloff that originated in China brought the stock as low as 94, giving the confident investor a gift-like entry point
