Lightning Round: Disney, Home Depot, Cabela's and More

Wolseley [WOS  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer won’t endorse this supply company because the industry is doing so badly.

Disney [DIS  Loading...      ()   ]: A believer in CEO Bob Iger, Cramer thinks Disney is a buy. People don’t realize that DIS is not as supported by advertising as other media companies.

Brookfield Asset Management [BAM  Loading...      ()   ]: Its management is “terrific” and reason enough to own the stock, Cramer said.

Fannie Mae [FNM  Loading...      ()   ]: Don’t buy. “It’s too hard to value.”

Automatic Data [ADP  Loading...      ()   ]: This is a “flat-line name” that needs a strong economy for it to work, according to Cramer.

Dell [DELL  Loading...      ()   ]: The PC maker to buy is Hewlett-Packard [HPQ  Loading...      ()   ], which has the business model Cramer prefers.

LDK Solar [LDK  Loading...      ()   ]: “What do we need that one for?” Cramer’s solar favorites are First Solar [FSLR  Loading...      ()   ] and SunPower [SPWR  Loading...      ()   ].

Cabela’s [CAB  Loading...      ()   ]: “That company is simply one of the worst publicly traded companies I have ever seen.”

South Financial [TSFG  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer called TSFG a good stock in a bad neighborhood. Unfortunately, he can’t recommend it.

Johnson Controls [JCI  Loading...      ()   ]: With an “unbelievably good business” in climate control, JCI is a buy on a long-term perspective.

Home Depot [HD  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer would own J. Crew [JCG  Loading...      ()   ] and Costco [COST  Loading...      ()   ] in retail, and not much else. And certainly not Home Depot.

Solarfun [SOLF  Loading...      ()   ]: Both First Solar and SunPower are better, according to Cramer, but he would think about taking profits in FSLR, which has quadrupled since he first recommended it.

Jim’s charitable trust owns Hewlett-Packard.
