Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Dec. 10th

Triple-S Management (GTS)
True success stories on The Street may be harder to find these days, but Cramer has observed the progress of non-profit Blue Cross Blue Shield companies that turn into public for-profit companies and found in their first four years the stocks had increased an average of 28%. He would consider Triple-S Management (GTS) which went public last week and has yet to set the sector on fire, since it opened only 16 cents above its $14.50 and undershot its projected range of $16-$18. Cramer said the companies contracts will become profitable and warned investors to do homework before buying and to use limit orders.
CEO Interview: Jack Cumming Hologic (HOLX)
Cramer likes HOLX for its visibility, growth and clean balance sheet and asked Jack Cumming about the merger with Cytic which was closed on Oct 22 and is running ahead of schedule. Cumming discussed the company's $1.3 billion convertible bond offering as a strategy to eliminate debt. Concerning competitors, He noted HOLX entered the scene two years behind its main rivals and is nine months ahead on the race for digital mammography. "We believe that when you have nine No 1. products, you're expected to grow at a fantastic rate," Cumming said.
Live with Regis' Portfolio: JDS Uniphase (JDSU), Time Warner (TWX), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), LSI Logic (LSI), Unisys (UIS), Freeport-McMoRan (FCX), McDonald's (MCD), CVS Caremark (CVS), Oceaneering (OII), Transocean (RIG), Chevron (CVX)
Regis told viewers not to worry about holiday retail sales, since people are lining up outside stores, and Cramer reviewed Regis' portfolio. First, he told Regis he missed the ideal opportunity to sell Time Warner, which rose recently, and would sell it now. He also told Regis to sell AMD, since the company is having trouble with its next chip and has Hector Ruiz at the helm. The ticker JDSU stands for "just don't sue us," said Cramer and he told Regis to sell. He gave LSI a "tepid buy" and added "it has a shot at coming back," but Cramer told Regis Unisys was one big "house of pain." Cramer suggested Regis replace these names with FCS, MCD, CVS, OII, RIG and CVX.
Teledyne Technologies (TDY), Ansys (ANSS)
Cramer says TDY and ANSS are two "Upod artists" that overpromise and underdeliver; "Upod works because the bedrock predictor is the trumping of earnings estimates," he said. TDY is tapped into aerospace and oil, has exceeded estimates an average of 15% per quarter, has made smart acquisitions and is cheap, but Cramer would wait for it to dip before buying. Ansys is the "market leader" in simulation and software, has strong overseas exposure, 68% return business and has exceeded estimates 40 consecutive times. The stock may seem expensive, but it is growing at an impressive 19% and should be trading at a higher multiple.

7 Hot Stocks To Watch Today

Here are 7 stocks to watch for today. This list comes directly from the TradingMarkets Stocks Indicators page.
Stocks Ready to Surge: These are the stocks that today made new 10-day lows that are still in an uptrend as they are trading above their 200-day moving average. They are sorted in rank according to how over-extended they are vs. their 10-day moving average. For example, the top ranked stock is trading the furthest distance from its 10-day moving average on a percentage basis. Historically, these stocks on average have had larger than normal short-term upside reversals.
Kinder Morgan Inc (NYSE:KMI - News). KMI's PowerRating is 6.
Pullbacks from Highs: Most successful momentum-based traders and money managers like to buy strong stocks after they pull back. TradingMarkets.com uses a proprietary mathematical model to identify up to 30 (in weak or choppy markets there will be fewer) of the strongest stocks that have pulled back from recent highs. These stocks should be considered potential candidates to resume their longer-term uptrends.
Cross Country Healthcare (NASDAQ:CCRN - News). CCRN's PowerRating is 8.
Long Windows Candidates: These are stocks which are in a strong uptrend, as determined by a proprietary trend filter and whose current bar has its high below the 4-day moving average. Historically, these stock on average have had a larger than normal short-term upside reversals. In order for us to be a buyer of a "Trading Window," we must have a 10-period ADX reading of 30 or higher and a +DI reading above the -DI reading. Or we must have a 14-period +DI of 30 or higher (with no ADX reading required). "Single Windows" are the most common type of Windows. They are simply a single bar which has its high of the day below the 4-period moving average. You will enter if the stock trades above yesterday's high.
FPL Group (NYSE:FPL - News). FPL's PowerRating is 6.
Trading Where the Action Is: This list contains the most volatile stocks over the past 50 trading days. These stocks are only for the most aggressive traders who are willing to assume a high degree of risk in order to capture larger gains.
New River Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:NRPH - News). NRPH's PowerRating is 7.
Explosion List: An inherent feature of all markets is that periods of lower-than-normal volatility are usually followed by periods of higher volatility. These stocks are trading at one-third or less of their normal volatility and therefore have a high likelihood of exploding within the next few trading days.
Ansys (NASDAQ:ANSS - News). ANSS's PowerRating is 3.
Stocks Ready to Drop: These are the stocks that today made new 10-day highs that are still in an downtrend as they are trading below their 200-day moving average. They are sorted in rank according to how over-extended they are vs. their 10-day moving average.

Historically, these stocks on average have had larger than normal short-term downside reversals.
Express Scripts (NASDAQ:ESRX - News). ESRX's PowerRating is 2.
