Cramer's Lightning Round - Don 't Fall into the Gap (2/10/09)

Stocks discussed on the lightning round session of Jim Cramer's Mad Money TV Program, Tuesday February 10.

Bullish Calls:

Duke Energy (DUK)
BHP Billiton (BHP), Freeport McMoRan (FCX): “I like the minerals, but I prefer to play minerals with FCX…with BHP down today, I’ll own it just for the China play.”
Conco-Phillips (COP): “If I want yield, I want COP.”

Bearish Calls:

Microsoft (MSFT): “I’m still not gonna bless it, but I think it is like a utility and if I want utilities, I want Duke Energy.”
Procter & Gamble (PG): "Even after this tremendous decline, this one is still not a cheap stock, and I'm not going to recommend it.”
First Niagra Financial (FNFG): “It is below book value, it does have a 4% yield. I am unrepentant on my theory of financials…I am not going to buy.”
Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR): “If I want oil, I want yield. If I want yield, I want COP.
Gap (GPS): “Keep looking. I don’t want you to touch it…I think Gap is not good…”
Oshkosh (OSK): “I think it goes right back to five. I didn't think the quarter was very good and I don't like the business model."

I personally believe that CNBC should take Jim off the air until we are in a bull market. Jim is a perma bull and is not suited to give advice in a bear market. It borders on criminal to allow him to keep influencing hard working people and costing them money during these economically tough times especially.

I am one of Mr. Cramer's loyal supporter. I don't think he is 100% right all the time, but he is honest and sincere in trying to help people. Mostly, I think he has very thorough understanding on a wide spectrum of business with sound judgement. His recommandation on individual stock is just for reference, we must do our own study and make our own decision. And even then, there is no garrantee to win on every buy and sell.

If you think you can buy and sell just by listen to his stock recommandation, you will end up losing money. It's like play golf, you can't blame the instructor for bad play without practice.
