Jim Cramer Blog

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.

Energy Stocks:
Transcanada (TRP): Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) is better.
Valero (VLO): Refining margins are killing the stock.
Transocean (RIG): He thinks the stock will go up when the GlobalSantaFe (GSF) merger is complete. Cramer also mentioned some Canadian Energy Trusts that he likes. The stocks are Canetic Resources (CNE), Pengrowth (PGH), Baytex (BTE), International PBX Ventures (PBX), Penn West Energy (PWE), and Advantage Energy (AAV).

Are You Diversified?:
Cramer recommended Caterpillar (CAT) to his first callers portfolio. He told his second caller to get rid of NYSE Euronext (NYX). Cramer told his third caller to hget rid of Pfizer (PFE).

Cramer spoke to the CEO of Genesis Lease (GLS) which Cramer recommended at $26. He said he was wrong to call the stock a buy then, but you should "back up the truck" now that it's at $22.

Finally, Cramer took three call in Sudden Death. He is unsure about Layne Christensen (LAYN), he likes Life Partners Holdings (LPHI) but is concerned about the large short interest, and thinks Danaher (DHR) is one of the best performing stocks in the S&P.
