Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap May 23

Six More Dow Stocks: 3M (NYSE: MMM - News), General Motors (NYSE: GM - News), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ - News), Home Depot (NYSE: HD - News), Honeywell (NYSE: HON - News), Intel (NasdaqGS: INTC)
Cramer continued his coverage of 30 Dow stocks with MMM, which is up 11%, although Cramer thinks its buyback and dividend increase are already priced in the stock, and he doesn't see sufficient upside to justify buying. Cramer has not been bullish on GM since the resignation of Jerry York from the board, but recommends GM's bond which has a nice percentage return. HPQ is "about to take off" and although it reported a "really great" quarter, it hasn't gone up yet. Cramer says HPQ is the only tech stock worth owning for the duration of the summer. Admitting he was wrong in his prediction of an interest rate cut from the Fed, Cramer says there is not a strong incentive to own HD, and would buy Sears instead. Honeywell is four points ahead of target, and while Cramer thinks it could go to $63, the stock would be too pricey. Intel's preformance has been disappointing, its price war with Advanced Micro Devices has been "bitter," and it shouldn't rise much higher than $24, Cramer said.
In the Beginning: Genesis Lease (NYSE: GLS - News)
After listening to AIG's earnings call, Cramer became aware of the "hot" business of leasing airplanes. The demand for aircraft currently outstrips supply, and Boeing can't produce planes quickly enough. GLS is a pure play on aircraft finance and is a way to benefit from the health of the industry "while keeping airlines at arm's length." The company is strong internationally, has a great cash flow and a solid dividend.
CEO Interview: Dan Batrack, Tetra Tech (NasdaqGS: TTEK)
Dan Batrack says the water resource management and infrastructure company has a strong pipeline and is at an all-time high. Backlog has surpassed revenue for five straight quarters, and the company is also involved in wind and nuclear energy, areas where demand exceeds supply. Cramer says he likes TTEK and notes its government contracts.
