Cramer's Lightning Round - Obama In, Hercules Out (11/11/08)

Stocks discussed in the Lightning Round session of  Jim Cramer's Mad Money TV Program, Tuesday November 11.

Bullish Calls:

United Parcel Service (UPS): "I think you need to buy UPS. With gas prices coming down, that's good news,"

Fedex Corp (FDX): "I'd wait for its dividend to hit 4%, then pull the trigger."

Enterprise Products Partners (EPD): "I want to buy this company. This stock yields 9%. I like Kinder Morgan more, but I like Enterprise too."

Kinder Morgan (KMP)

Verizon (VZ)

Intel (INTC): "Intel's got a better yield; I'd go with that one instead [of Microsoft.]"

Mastercard (MA): "I like MasterCard. They delivered a great quarter. This is a company I think you can buy on the way down. Business is too strong there to ignore."

 

Bearish Calls: 

 Hercules Offshore (HERO): "No, no, no, no, no. Oil's going to $50 and we've got the wrong president coming into office. I need a dividend yield to make that one attractive."

Vodafone Group (VOD): "That yield of 11% is a red flag for me. I'd go with their partner Verizon which pays less of a dividend but is a lot safer."

Microsoft (MSFT)

Ecolab (ECL): "That one does not have a good yield or a good business anymore. That's not what I want right now. "

Anyone who pays any attention to this lunatic deserves to lose money. He should run for Congress and join the rest of the egomanical loud mouths who surprise the world the few times they are correct.

I would be surprised in any of his groupies have any money left to invest.

Actually, I've managed to lose most of my money without Cramer's advice. I guess I'm what you'd call a do-it-yourselfer.

Kudos to taking responsibility for one's own actions. Also hilarious.

Any public plays on 'workout' finance companies?

A way to solve all of our problems: Anyone who supports Cramer should be summarily executed. Reduce population and vastly increase the average IQ at the same time. What's not to like?
