Bullish calls:
Walt Disney (DIS): 'Again, I don't play for DIS, but I'm certainly not going to blast it. I think it's a good company.' Brookfield Asset Management (BAM): 'They've got terrific, terrific management … BAM will come back!' Hewlett-Packard (HPQ): 'HPQ has the business model and the leverage!'

Bearish calls:
Wolseley (WOS): 'I can't endorse that company. Those companies are all doing badly.' Lowe's (LOW): 'I don't even recommend Lowe's anymore on this show.' Fannie Mae (FNM): 'It's just too hard to value right now...They just cut the dividend. Guys are going to sell it. I'm not there...' Automatic Data Processing (ADP): 'No. It's just a flatlined name.

General Dynamics (GD), Alliant Techsystems (ATK), L-3 communications (LLL), Raytheon (RTN), Lockheed Martin (LMT) Northrop Grumman (NOC)
Faced with the prospect of an economic slowdown, investors should look to defense stocks which "are the darlings of Wall Street…regardless of how the economy is doing." Political considerations won't affect the stocks, since Republicans like to spend on defense and Democrats want to look strong. Cramer concentrated on RTN since his prior recommendations, GD, ATK, LLL, LMT and NOC have all gone up. Cramer thinks RTN can easily beat its lukewarm guidance and notes the company's "fabulous" buyback and international growth.
ConcoPhillips (COP)
The oils have crept down on news of new taxes for oil companies and are low at least compared to rising crude costs. Cramer would use any dip as a buying opportunity for a long-term investment because "there's a simple case for oil … We're running out of it." He prefers COP because it is inexpensive, sells natural gas (which Cramer believes is consistently undervalued) and is not exposed to corrupt Third World regimes.
Related: Kurt Wulff comments on COP's low price and strong cash flow.
CEO Interview: T.J. Rodgers Cypress Semiconductor (CY), Sunpower (SPWR)
Cramer said Cypress is a good stock for those nervous about semiconductors, and Rodgers discussed the company's "extraordinarily flexible" chip that can be used in an e-bike, a Nordic track and an iPod. CY recently reported a "blockbuster" quarter and is seeing an upswing in demand for its products. In addition, CY owns half of Sunpower and plans to find a way to allow shareholders to benefit from this holding after tax restrictions are removed. Cramer said CY is the "cheap way" to own Sunpower.
Related: Eric Savitz asks if Cypress'core value worth is less than nothing.
MBIA (MBI), MGIC Investment (MTG)
Cramer would be wary of making too much money at once, an indication that an investor is not diversified enough. He suggests anyone who profited from the rise in MTG and MBI last week should sell the stocks, since they are not going higher.

Melissa Francis hosted. First topic was Citi Group selling nearly 5% of itself to Abu Dhabi for $7.5 B. The search for a new CEO has proceeded, and sights some impressive candidates to manage a decision for the new leader of the company. Dylan Ratigan of CNBC says that the $7.5 B that has come into the banking system will typically manifest itself and produce positive results for the company, as well as the financial sector markets. Next, the real estate market was discussed. Home prices fall almost 5% in the 3Qm, says David Blitzer of Standard and Poors. He adds that if you are looking to invest in an expensive family home, a smart decision would be to wait until next quarter or even longer, to give the market time to adjust. Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform says that talks of tax cuts have hit the presidential trail to stimulate the economy. Robert Mcintyre of Citizens for Tax Justice says that the U.S should not cut taxes because the country is broke. The Bush tax cuts are expected to expire at the end of 2010. Dawn Bennet of Bennet Group says that tax cuts are a great way to produce liquidity. $745 B is the increase over the past 4 years in tax receipts thanks to the Bush's tax cuts. Next Oil prices have fallen sharply. Down almost 3% since yesterday, it is sighted that there has been a major increase in sweet crude oil production. Next was the food fight. Michael Jacobson of NYC Board of Health says that calorie count at all restaurants is the aim for New York. To protect the health of consumers or at least have the information present for them to see is the step that they are trying to take to affect the obesity problem in our country. Matt Patsky of Winslow Management says that United Natural (UNFI) is his pick of the day. Organic and natural foods will grow faster than other food products. Sunpower (SPWR) a solar power provider is also a pick. Next, Facebook is opening doors for small businesses. Used as a marketing tool, Facebook has added one page devoted to small business as a result.

On Tuesday’s show, Cramer focused on green stocks that are good investments. Cramer reviewed his green picks from back in April to see how they had done since then.
Shaw Group (SGR): It is up 143% from about $30 to $74 since April.
Foster-Wheeler (FWLT): It is up 99% since April and had great earnings last quarter.
BorgWarner (BWA): It is up 38% since April, and Cramer thinks it will go higher because it has an increasing backlog.
OM Group (OMG): This is the only stock that is down since April, falling 5%. Cramer thinks the stock has started to bounce back from its lows already.
First Solar (FSLR): The stock has climbed 171% and Cramer is still bullish, but wants you to wait until after it reports earnings on Wednesday before buying more.
Fuel Tech (FTEK): This stock is up 35%, but guided down after reporting earnings Tuesday morning.
MEMC (WFR): This stock is up 20% since April and Cramer thinks the company will grow 52% over the next two years.
Tatra Tech (TTI): It is up 14% since April, and Cramer thinks it will keep going up slowly but steadily.
Cramer thinks every one of these stocks will go higher, and thinks that going green is good for business.
Cramer then went to the phone lines. The first caller asked about Zoltek (ZOLT), and Cramer said that although he recommended this stock a while ago he pulled out because he thought he was getting greedy. He now thinks this stock will keep going up. The second caller asked about BP (BP), and Cramer doesn’t think you can own this company because of its green initiatives. The next caller asked about SunPower (SPWR) and Cypress (CY), and Cramer said that Cypress is safer, but he likes both stocks.
The CEO of Wells Fargo (WFC) was on the show to talk about their alternative energy investments and positions, as well as the prospects. Cramer said this is the only banking stock he wants you to buy.
“Am I Diversified?”
The first email asked about UBS (UBS), and Cramer said that he has messed up with every financial pick he had made recently, and thinks you should wait until the stock hits $45 before you buy. The next email asked about Oceaneering International (OII), and Cramer said he didn't like the most recent earnings call. The next email asked if the recent investment in Tesoro (TSO) by Kirk Keorkian's was a bet that oil will drop, and Cramer said that could be right, but that TSO could drop if oil prices decline. The final email asked about lululemon (LULU), and Cramer said he wants nothing to do with the stock since it has gone up so much.

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.
