Jim Cramer's Real Money Radio Recap 7/20

Recap of Jim Cramer's radio show on Thursday July 20 Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:

Technical Difficulties: Qualcomm (QCOM), Intel's (INTC), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Microsoft (MSFT), Cisco (CSCO) and Dell (DELL) - Cramer says that he has never seen tech so low and blames the plunge on the fact that people overloaded their portfolios with tech, and got rid of the stocks all at once. He also notes that INTC is down because of its price war with AMD.

Playing it Safe: Kellogg (K), Boeing (BA), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and PepsiCo (PEP) - Cramer trusts defensive stocks in the current environment, especially Pepsi; "There are very, very few things that I can trust in this market and Pepsi is one of them," he said. He notes that Pepsi's Frito Lay division is doing well, the company has an extensive buyback plan, and that the stock can easily go from $4 to $5.

A Good Match: Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI) and XM Satellite Radio (XMSR) - An analyst downgraded SIRI from $8 to $4.50 because of a supply chain risk. Cramer does not think that SIRI will move unless it merges with XMSR.

The Naturals: Chesapeake (CHK) and Nabors Industries (NBR) - Cramer notes that oil drillers and energy stocks have been down unaccountably, but natural gas has crawled back up to $5 after a long decline. He picks natural gas companies like CHK and NBR.

Bullish calls:

MetLife (MET), Prudential (PRU), Allstate (ALL): Cramer likes all three of these insurance companies, especially MET, which wasn't affected by 9-11.
