Lightning Round: GM, Oshkosh and More

Posted By:Carlo Dellaverson

Topics:Stock Picks | Stock Market

Smart Balance [SMBL Loading... () ]: Cramer’s not a fan. Stick with a name like Pepsi [PEP Loading... () ], he said.

Parametric Technology [PMTC Loading... () ]: If you want to be in the software stocks, Cramer recommends BEA Systems [BEAS Loading... () ].

General Motors [GM Loading... () ]: The UAW should have gone after someone else, Cramer said, because GM is “sticking it to them.” The company is a powerhouse, and Cramer recommends keeping an eye on it, then buying aggressively when the stock comes in.

DirecTV [DTV Loading... ()

]: Cramer likes DTV, but his favorite satellite play is RRSat Global Communications [RRST Loading... ()

Zumiez [ZUMZ Loading... () ]: “Have you been to one?” Cramer asked. “The place is rockin’!” ZUMZ has the momentum and it has the merchandise, he said. It’s a “hot play in a hot market,” and he endorses it even at its 52-week high.

Superior Offshore [DEEP Loading... () ]: Along with NYSE Euronext [NYX Loading... () ] and Sears Holdings [SHLD Loading... () ], DEEP is an example of a good company with a terrible stock, Cramer said. That said, he still is holding onto the faith that all three of these companies will come back.

Oshkosh [OSK Loading... () ]: This truck manufacturer has an “ideal combination” of emergency and defense vehicles, but Cramer is sticking with his favorite defense name: Northrop Grumman [NOC Loading... () ], followed by Lockheed Martin [LMT Loading... () ].

Cisco Systems [CSCO Loading... () ]: The stock is going the speed limit, Cramer said, and it’s not going to get a ticket. If CEO John Chambers can come out and say he’s bullish, Cramer is bullish, too.

GMX Resources [GMXR Loading... () ]: Cramer is a believer in natural gas going higher. Stay long nat gas, he said, and GMX is a “fine” way to do that.

Siemens [SI Loading... () ]: Despite recent losses, SI is a high-quality company, Cramer said, and it’s too cheap to be forgotten. Also: “Germany is coming back.”

Parker Drilling [PKD Loading... () ]: “This is the worst driller in the world,” Cramer said. “Step up to the plate and buy some quality!” He recommends Transocean [RIG Loading... () ], Schlumberger [SLB Loading... () ] or Halliburton [HAL Loading... () ].

Assurant [AIZ Loading... () ]: This one is boring, Cramer said. He prefers Prudential [PRU Loading... () ] and Metlife [MET Loading... () ].

Jim's charitable trust owns NYSE Euronext, Sears Holdings and Transocean.
