Cramer's Stop Trading! 6 Quick Earnings Picks (1/27/09)

Stocks discussed on Jim Cramer's Stop Trading! TV Program Tuesday January 26.

Verizon (VZ): Cramer thinks people are being too negative on Verizon, which reported a strong quarter. He thinks it is a buy because of FiOs, a strong cash flow and the AllTel acquisition.

Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY): Cramer thinks this drug company is finally performing well.

Quanta Services (PWR): This stock is a play on the electric grid buildout.

U.S. Steel (X): This company beat estimates, and Cramer thinks it is a buy for its strong management and as an Obama play.

Peabody Energy (BTU): This anti-Obama play reported a solid quarter and proved that coal is still going to be an energy force to be reckoned with as new plants are built.

Caterpillar (CAT): In spite of a gloomy forecast, Cramer still likes Caterpillar for its 5% dividend. From a technical standpoint, the stock is putting in a base.

"Maisano said that in some rapidly growing regions, such as Texas, only coal power can meet growing demand."

"The business environment for the coal industry has changed tremendously from two years ago, when these plants were first planned. Additionally, several environmental organizations were very effective at pointing this out and making a compelling business case against continuing with construction of these plants. What originally looked like a huge year for Dynegy for expansion has proven otherwise."

X as an Obama play??? Obama can't make us go out and buy cars...and less than 20% of the "stimulus" bill actually focuses on infrastructure. Much more of it is pork, and expanded sugar-daddy. I'm afraid there's not much there that's good for X.
