Cramer started off Monday's show by recommending a stock that he thinks is inexpensive relative to its earnings and growth. The stock is Google (GOOG), which reported huge earnings on Thursday, and Cramer thinks it is cheap because the drop in the market on Friday kept investors from pricing the growth into the stock.
Cramer then went to the phonelines. The first caller asked about Celgene (CELG), and Cramer said to back up the truck since it's down 6 points. The next caller asked about SINA (SINA), and Cramer said that Baidu.com (BIDU) and Focus Media (FMCN) were better China plays.
Apple (AAPL): Next Cramer said Apple is cheap after the earnings they reported today, but the cheap stock that he really likes is Intuitive Surgical (ISRG). Cramer thinks that this stock is even cheaper than Google, and it also did well on Friday due to strong earnings. He thinks they will continue to grow, and that earnings will stay strong as they sell replacement parts for their surgical instruments.
After the lightning round, Cramer went over another stock that he thinks will benefit from another trend he found in the book "Microtrends." Also skin cancer has been increasing rapidly, and Schering-Plough (SGP) owns Coppertone, making it the best play on this trend. SGP's CEO was on the show to talk about the most recent earnings report and the future prospects of the company.
Cramer then did a segment on Seaspan (SSW), a container shipper. He discussed the company with the CEO, and then said that he thinks the dry bulk shipping stocks are best, but this is a good container shipper.
Sudden Death. The first caller asked about Unit (UNT), which Cramer doesn't like because it's a domestic oil driller. The next caller asked about Cypress Semiconductor (CY), which Cramer likes because it has SunPower (SPWR) as a subsidiary. The last caller asked about MedcoHealth (MHS), which Cramer gives two thumbs up.
