Cramer's Mad Money - Gilead: No Pain, No Gain (5/22/09)

Stocks discussed on the lightning round session of Jim Cramer's Mad Money TV Program, Friday May 22.

Bullish Calls:

Emerson Electric (EMR): "I bought EMR hand over fist this week..I don't care the chart is bad…4%, accidentally high yielder..I'm not scared..this is a great company."

Gilead Sciences (GILD): "It is the best house in a tough neighborhood. There was good news, and no one cared…best AIDS franchise in the world…it is going to come out of it terrifically…but Obama doesn't like this sector and you are going to have to take the pain."

Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF): "I was scalded by that equity offering..the damage is done, I think it is okay to buy. It represents value, but it was a bad call."

Diana Shipping (DSX), Frontline (FRO), Nordic American (NAT): "(Rather than Star Bulk Carriers) I'd rather see you in Diana, better balance sheet at $15, or Frontline, better balance sheet at $21…I feel better and better about Nordic American at an 11% yield."

Neutral:

CardioNet (BEAT): "I'm not familiar with the work of CardioNet we're going to have to get back on that one."

Bearish Calls:

Starbucks (SBUX): "I think SBUX could be in the midst of the turn, but don't buy right now."

WESCO International (WCC)

Commercial Metals (CMC): "I'm not down on scrap metal. I'm going to say don't sell, but don't buy."

Star Bulk Carriers (SBLK)
