Lightning Round: Xerox, Cummins, Dominion and More

Posted By:Carlo Dellaverson

Topics:Stock Picks | Stock Market

Greif [GEF Loading... () ]: Cramer called this an “unbelievably good company.” He also recommended Sonaco [SON Loading... () ], another packaging outfit, but warned that both could get hammered in the short term because of their cyclical nature.

VisionChina Media [VISN Loading... () ]: Chinese media stocks are good, Cramer said, but he’s sticking with Focus Media [FMCN Loading... () ], which has better fundamentals.

Countrywide Financial [CFC Loading... () ]: Buy the preferred, not the common, Cramer advised. But CFC isn’t quite a buy just yet. He thinks the Fed decision could set the company back "a couple of quarters."

Allos Therapeutics [ALTH Loading... () ]: An “interesting” speculative cancer play that Cramer said could go to either zero or $12. Better do your homework before investing in Allos.

Xerox [XRX Loading... () ]: The market is too crowded and too competitive for Cramer to recommend Xerox. He prefers Hewlett-Packard [HPQ Loading... () ], or even Eastman Kodak [EK Loading... () ] as a speculative play on the same business.

Cummins [CMI Loading... () ]: Cramer would let it come in four points and then buy it for its international exposure.

American Movil [AMX Loading... () ]: “Exactly where you have to be,” Cramer said. AMX has good growth and isn’t levered to the Fed.

First Marblehead [FMD Loading... () ]: With its student-loan exposure, Cramer said it’s better to stay away.

Speedway Motorsports [TRK Loading... () ]: Discretionary spending isn’t healthy enough to keep this stock afloat, according to Cramer.

Big Lots [BIG Loading... () ]: There are only about a half dozen retailers Cramer would buy. Big Lots is not one of them.

Dynegy [DYN Loading... () ]: A utility that’s “right to buy” at present levels.

Coeur d’Alene Mines [CDE Loading... () ]: “That stock has never done anything, and it never will.” Cramer would rather investors own either Yamana Gold [AUY Loading... () ] or Barrick Gold [ABX Loading... () ].

XM Satellite Radio [XMSR Loading... () ]: The best way to play the probable merger is Sirius [SIRI Loading... () ], according to Cramer. If the deal doesn’t pass, SIRI investors stand to get their money back, too.

Dominion Power [D Loading... () ]: A “Bernanke-proof” stock that Cramer sees going higher.

Intuit [INTU Loading... () ]: Cramer prefers Bankrate [RATE Loading... () ] for its momentum.

Jim's charitable trust owns Hewlett-Packard.
