Cramer's Lightning Round - Starbucks Messes Up Cramer's Order (2/4/09)

Stocks discussed on the lightning round session of Jim Cramer's Mad Money TV Program, Wednesday February 4.

Bullish Calls:

Wal-Mart (WMT): “I think you are buying it right down 16 straight points…I think this is a great level…pull the trigger. I like Wal-Mart very much.”
Visa (V): “Looks like a good number …it looks like a good idea to buy Visa…let’s wait…let’s not be aggressive.”
Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM)
Athenahealth (ATHN), Allscripts (MDRX): “We like it because it is medical billing…like Allscripts…these are companies that will save the government money.”

Bearish Calls:

Starbucks (SBUX): “I had a bad Starbuck’s experience…the guy gave me the wrong coffee …the line was long, it was really disorganized … plus I felt very gauche…when I was walking around with the Starbucks cup, I felt like I was John Thain… they ain’t coming back any time soon.”
Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR): “I think you are being greedy…that’s a nice run a big run…it’s just coffee, for crying out loud.”
Kinross Gold (KGC): “Just a good gold play, but we want the lowest call gold play…I’d rather see you in AEM.. I’m not predicting any takeovers in this sector.”
Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBV): “I don’t need to go over to Europe to lose money when I could lose money right here…if you want to buy a bank at least buy Goldman Sachs, at least it has a business model.”

This is his research on SBUX? Maybe they just didnt want to serve this obnoxious loudmouth. I ve tried McDonalds lattes - had to wash my mouth out and head straight to a Starbucks.

I agree that the Mcdonalds coffee thing is overhyped. Mcdonalds does fine with reliable fast food. I don't go there to drink their coffee and try to read a journal with kids screaming from the "Playplace".

Actually their coffee is very comparable in price to Starbucks for basic coffee. Their iced coffee is mediocre. I just think Starbucks needs to lose some of its uppity "save the world" causes and realize that at best it just needs to be a clean,pleasant coffee house.

SO HE MESSED UP ON STARBUCKS.
SO THE GOLD STOCKS HE MENTIONED ARE GOING DOWN.
CRAMER IS ONLY HUMAN YOU KNOW.
SOONER THAN LATER HE'LL BE RIGHT AGAIN!
I think he is becoming funnier than David Lettermen these past two years. And even though many are unemployed he is not!
