Ultra Petroleum [UPL  Loading...      ()   ]: Natural gas is “hopelessly out of fashion” to everyone but Cramer. He would “buy, buy, buy” UPL.

McGraw Hill [MHP  Loading...      ()   ]: A good company, Cramer said, but one whose business still has further to come back. “I think you’ll get paid to wait” on MHP.

DirecTV [DTV  Loading...      ()   ]: Don’t be aggressive, Cramer warned. DTV is in a hugely competitive market. Discovery Holdings [DISCA  Loading...      ()   ] is the only communications/television play he is recommending.

Broadcom [BRCM  Loading...      ()   ]: There’s no edge in owning Broadcom, Cramer said. The marketplace for cell phone parts is too competitive. However, he does continue to like Nokia [NOK  Loading...      ()   ].

Trimble Navigation [TRMB  Loading...      ()   ]: Again, too much competition. GPS was once a favorite of Cramer’s but he said the space has become too crowded. Sell TRMB and sell Garmin [GRMN  Loading...      ()   ] above $70 too, he said.

Mercado Libre [MELI  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer said he thinks it’s a mistake for this stock to be down so much. He would use it as an opportunity to buy.

Apple [AAPL  Loading...      ()   ]: After its disappointing quarter, Cramer said he would lay off until it drops to $120. That’s when AAPL will look intriguing to him again.

First Solar [FSLR  Loading...      ()   ]: Oil isn’t headed to $50 anytime soon, Cramer said, even though FSLR is trading as though it is. He would buy it.

Southern Copper [PCU  Loading...      ()   ]: Copper is “dead money” right now, Cramer said.

Northrop Grumman [NOC  Loading...      ()   ]: The company has too much cash flow to stay down so low, Cramer said. It’s a buy along with Boeing [BA  Loading...      ()   ], which Cramer likes for its commercial aviation exposure.

Clearwire [CLWR  Loading...      ()   ]: Too hard and too speculative, according to Cramer.

AT&T [T  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer would buy T and Verizon [VZ  Loading...      ()   ] for good measure. One buck lower, at $35, T might actually be the single best buy of the market, Cramer said.

AECOM Technology [ACM  Loading...      ()   ]: There is a perception that municipalities are cutting back on infrastructure spending, which is AECOM’s bread and butter. Cramer would wait to see what the quarter brings before recommending it.

Texas Instruments [TXN  Loading...      ()   ]: At $30, it’s cheap, Cramer said. “I’m standing behind TXN.”
