Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), Bear Stearns (NYSE: BSC), Gilead (NasdaqGS: GILD), Hologics (NasdaqGS: HOLX), Medco Health (NYSE: MHS), Cisco (NasdaqGS: CSCO), Level 3 (NasdaqGS: LVLT), Garmin (NasdaqGS: GRMN), Ciena (NasdaqGS: CIEN), Chicago Bridge and Iron (NYSE: CBI), Allegheny Tech (NYSE: ATI)
Cramer called LEH, GS and BSC "premium franchises" and would "load the boat up." He feels LEH has been given unfair estimate cuts and GS trades at a price-to-earnings multiple not worthy of even a "crummy plastics company." He also likes Gilead, Hologics, which he recently purchased, and Medco Health, which rose $3 on a federal contract and dropped down again. Other picks include Cisco, "the biggest percentage gainer in the S&P," LVLT, a "speculative fave," Ciena and Garmin. Finally, Cramer added CBI and ATI, his 2006 stock of the year, to the list. However, he would buy none of these picks if the four-and-a-halfs of 5/17 or the Bellweather bond continues its descent. It moved down from $100 to $94 on Thursday, and a lower price means a higher yield and a more attractive bond market. However, if it increases to $96-$97, Cramer would still be bullish on the above-mentioned stocks.
The Soda Ash Wars: FMC Corp. (NYSE: FMC)
Rumors the Chinese government is considering an end to tax rebates for their soda ash exporters is good news for FMC, which is the second largest producer of soda ash, a substance used to make such diverse items as glass, cleansers, film and bricks. However, Cramer emphasizes this is just a rumor, and would buy the stock down, since it has dipped since its recent spike. FMC uses a cheaper production process than that of the Chinese, it has pricing power because it is part of a cartel, and its agricultural chemical business is "incredibly strong," says Cramer.
Major Miner: Sterlite Industries
Sterlite, which will trade under the symbol SLT, is India's largest mining company, has "steroidal growth," and has China close by as a huge consumer. Sterlite has a 42% market share in copper, along with some aluminum, and is part of an "unfair" zinc duopoly. Cramer likes privatized companies like Sterlite because the government doesn't want "the deal to blow up in their voters' faces, so they're all priced below what they should be." He suggests buying the stock at a discount, since he expects it to go up, and sets the maximum entry point at $14 with an exit point at $20.
CEO Interview: Gary Butler, Automatic Data Processing (NYSE: ADP)
Gary Butler discussed ADP's the recent $2 billion spinoff of its brokerage business which leaves "a faster growth business, which is very focused and which we think will give us a tremendous return on management." He added; "We operate in a huge market where there is $80 billion of opportunity between the U.S. and globally, so we think the appreciation for our shareholders will be much stronger." With its consistent cash surplus, ADP will continue its buybacks and dividend increases, said Butler and when Cramer asked if ADP would go private, Butler said he would prefer to return value to shareholders rather than to private equity firms; "When you have a company that grew EPS 25% last year and will be over 20% this year ... and you can continue to grow the share price, I think we can deliver more long-term value by staying the course," Butler said.

Jockeying for Position: Dynegy (NYSE: DYN - News), Brocade Communications (NasdaqGS: BRCD), Qwest (NYSE: Q - News)
Cramer suggested three "horse racing stocks" under $10 to keep investors interested. These are just temporary plays and should be sold when they reach $12. He notes DYN was "trashed" because of its former CEO Chuck Watson, but has been rescued by current CEO Bruce Williamson. He notes that DYN could be an attractive takeover target. "Brocade has momentum but is scary -- which is exciting," Cramer said about his second-favorite pick, which recently bought out its competitor and is in a position to raise prices. Cramer's favorite "horse" is Qwest which is around $9, but should be the first to reach the finish line at $12, because of its big federal contract.
Blue Stocking Stocks: Walgreen (NYSE: WAG - News), Grainger (NYSE: GWW - News) and Automatic Data Processing (NYSE: ADP - News)
Cramer discussed his favorite "aristocrat" stocks which pay solid dividends and provide protection when the economy is rough. He considered three "aristocrats," and eliminated WAG because it might have to stop raising its dividend to buy Express Scripts. While he expects GWW to boost its dividend, Cramer thinks the stock is too cyclical. Cramer's favorite artistocrat stock is ADP; "If there is such a thing as a blue chip, ADP is it." First, by spinning off its unprofitable brokerage service business, ADP may see 12-13% revenue growth. Secondly, Cramer likes ADP's "gigunda" $750 million buyback, and comments that ADP doesn't just have the history of raising its dividend, it has the money to continue dividend increases.
Mad Mail: Lundin Mining (AMEX: LMC - News), Dean Foods (NYSE: DF - News), Incyte Corporation (NasdaqGM: INCY)
Cramer told a viewer not to get discouraged with LMC because it is buying up mines. He would pick up more LMC on any pullback. He commented DF is "going back to where it was before it paid the dividend" of $15, and says the company is well-managed and pro-shareholder. When asked to defend his recommendation of INCY, which has no phase III drugs, over a company like Osiris Therapeutics with products in the pipeline, Cramer responded the best strategy for dealing with biotech is to avoid companies in the headlines and to find a biotech like INCY which has " its whole future ahead of it."

“Hike, Hike?” For investors’, ‘just right’ Goldilocks economic conditions made for some offensive and a January barometer cheering ‘Da Bulls as 2007’s stateside champs. For the five-day period, the NASDAQ Composite ($COMPQ) and S&P500 ($SPX) are higher by 1.66% to 1.83%.“Hike, Hike!” Investors possibly heard those words over the weekend, but apparently not from the guy in charge of driving the markets forward. Early action in the first-half of trade was generally conducive to the bulls taking control of the offense. A flurry of Merger Monday activity (BMY, CFC, MER, SYMC, C and LAUR) and profit-taking in oil that day saw some players come in off the sidelines. In general though, the first-half was a sleeper of second string shuffling with little in the way of decisive movement. In fact, with Tuesday ushering in leadership from the energy complex (XLE, OIH), one might say The Curly Shuffle was seen as growing popular with investors. Black Gold reversed back through $55 to close up by nearly three points at $56.97, but due to the influential weighting of energy stocks, a positive catalyst for the broader indices was offered. With disappointing earnings from the Three Stooges a.k.a. Pharma giant Merck (MRK), 3M (MMM) and United Parcel (UPS) that day, the market certainly has a good sense of humor.Wednesday’s kick-off brought out the first team and a more serious game face to boot. The Q4 Advance GDP rose a stronger-than-anticipated 3.5% versus analysts’ estimates of 3.0%. While investor cheer could be heard on that front, an in-line 1.5% chain deflator, a slightly better-than-expected employment cost index (.8% vs 1.0%) and a drop of -.8% in the PCE price index were mixed enough in their overall readings as to hint that the Fed would maintain a hawkish lean. That being said, the bulls called an intraday timeout as they waited on play confirmation from the market’s quarterback.A quarterback sneak by Bernanke with a call of ‘5.25% and further rate hikes may yet be necessary’ was apparently understood by the offense to signal the charge forward. Despite having already offered out the same play and one that still implies that any change in policy will likely be towards tightening, the market rallied around the statement. Further recognition by the Fed that the economy has turned up, housing stabilized and price pressures still only affording bluffing tactics might be seen as reasons behind the Hail Mary by investors. Thursday did offer bulls’ leaning on policy verbiage of ‘improved and should moderate further’, confirmation of easing price pressures. The Fed’s favored price gauge, the core PCE deflator, rose just .1% in December. The benign reading comes on the heels of a flat result in November and can be seen as a positive trend towards lower inflation. On the other hand, an unexpected slip to contraction levels of 47.5% versus estimates of 51.5% for the ISM Index and a bump of 5.5% to 53% for the prices paid component should serve as reminders that ‘Da Bears could still find their game, despite being underdogs on Wall Street and other playing fields. A ‘just right’ jobs report delivered on Friday didn’t have the bears hearing “Hike, Hike” to begin their own offensive assault. Nonfarm payrolls that were adjusted for ‘now complete’ tax data turned a “miss” of 39,000 into a figure that was perfectly in-line with expectations. Further, a drop of .1% in December hourly earnings and a current .2% reading that was below estimates of .3% helped the bulls with their case. In recent months with wage-based pressures weighing heavily on the Fed, the combined data goes a long way towards easing those concerns.
ON TAP THIS WEEK
Economic watchdogs will be finding a reprieve this week. A much lighter and less significant calendar of catalysts are on tap. Further expectations for “just right” economic conditions will need to find additional momentum from investors without much actual evidence. One report that investors could key off of will be Monday’s ISM Services figure. After a disappointing ISM manufacturing figure, a stronger result might result in a sigh of relief and a rallying point. A worse-then-expected result, using that logic, would likely find investors focused on profit-taking.An additional factor jockeying for investors’ attention will be the price of oil. Since contract lows were set nearly three weeks ago, higher prices in Black Gold have yet to impact the market in a negative capacity, despite price gains of nearly 8 points or 15% to $59-a-barrel. Of course much of the broader market’s resilience is due to the energy complex (XLE, OIH) having enjoyed a tremendous rally simultaneously. As one of the market’s most heavily-weighted sectors, the potential negative impact of higher prices has thus been negligible. That being said, it will be interesting to see if the spin machine focusing on consumer spending and corporate profits goes back to work this week. It will be another week of heavy corporate reporting for earnings hounds. With close to two-thirds of S&P500 companies having delivered their Q4 results, aggregate earnings are shaping up slightly stronger at roughly 11%. However, while some relief might be felt over the possibility for a fourteenth quarter of double digit growth, all other benchmarks are off fairly hard and do point at much slower profit growth heading into the first-quarter. Eyeballing guidance figures and its readily apparent that revisions lower, rather than stronger outlooks are more the standard operating procedure and reaffirmations the most popular avenue taken. In spite of the current BTE parade, maybe that’s one reason that forecasts for Q1 have been lowered to 5% during the same period.
