Lightning Round: AIG, Fannie Mae, Home Depot and More


Jones Soda [JSDA  Loading...      ()   ]: Sell Jones and sell Jamba Juice [JMBA  Loading...      ()   ] and Hansen [HANS  Loading...      ()   ] while you're at it, Cramer said.

Radian Group [RDN  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer believes the stock should be sold because the company can’t seem to raise the capital it needs.

Fannie Mae [FNM  Loading...      ()   ]: It’s too hard to know Fannie’s real exposure to subprime. Plus, it’s not allowed to get the bad loans off its balance sheet. “I can’t buy it here,” Cramer said.

Global Industries [GLBL  Loading...      ()   ]: The best of breed in this sector is Transocean [RIG  Loading...      ()   ], according to Cramer.

Trico Marine [TRMA  Loading...      ()   ]: It’s better than Oceanerring [OII  Loading...      ()   ], but Core Labs [CLB  Loading...      ()   ] is “who you need,” Cramer said.

Compellent Technologies [CML  Loading...      ()   ]: Crammer called this new IPO a “mini VMware [VMW  Loading...      ()   ].”

Oilsands Quest [BQI  Loading...      ()   ]: If the Canadian provinces lowered taxes on oil exploration, Cramer thinks BQI would be set up for some good pin action.

Rediff.com India [REDF  Loading...      ()   ]: People have been calling this the next Baidu.com [BIDU  Loading...      ()   ]but Cramer remains bearish.

Countrywide Financial [CFC  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer still won’t recommend CFC. For investors who really want to play the group, Wells Fargo [WFC  Loading...      ()   ] is best, he said.

AIG [AIG  Loading...      ()   ]: Sell it, Cramer said. AIG has “way too much subprime,” making it difficult to value its portfolio. “We don’t know what the stuff is worth,” he said.

Home Depot [HD  Loading...      ()   ]: It’s exposed to a bad market and it’s just not as good as other retailers, even Lowe’s [LOW  Loading...      ()   ], according to Cramer.

Novagold Resources [NG  Loading...      ()   ]: If it wins a contract dispute it’s involved in, Cramer thinks NG could be a repository of an incredible amount of cheap gold.

Level 3 Communications [LVLT  Loading...      ()   ]: CEO Jim Crowe has “let us down,” Cramer said. Until Crowe agrees to come on Mad Money, LVLT will remain in the sell column.

Old National Bancorp [ONB  Loading...      ()   ]: Until the Fed cuts another 100 basis points, Cramer doesn’t want to touch ONB. “That is one nasty looking situation,” he said.

Superior Offshore [DEEP  Loading...      ()   ]: This is a low-quality oil services company, Cramer said, in part because it is too exposed to drilling in the Gulf. Transocean [RIG  Loading...      ()   ] is best of breed.



Jim's charitable trust owns AIG, Fannie Mae and Transocean.
