Recap of Jim Cramer's radio show on Thursday October 19. Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:

Taking a Bite Out of Apple (AAPL) - Cramer thinks that "the most money being made today" is in Apple and he doesn't believe the stock is heading down any time soon. Although Sandisk (SNDK) is coming out with its own "iPod killer," Cramer does not think that anyone can top Apple's product in spite of cynicism in the media. When the company reported that performance was "dramatically better than expected" the stock jumped four points, and Cramer expects another 20 point jump. He compares negativity about Apple to excessive bearishness in housing.

Nobody's Perfect: Ebay (EBAY) - Cramer confesses that he got Ebay wrong because he was focusing on its overpaying for PayPal and Skype and did not have any confidence in CEO Meg Whitman. Looking at Ebay's stronger points, Cramer concludes that the company is "indestructible" and is "free from competition and ... it will go higher." Not even Yahoo! (YHOO), Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG) can imitate eBay, according to Cramer.

McGraw-Hill (MHP) - Although Cramer has been bearish on media "without reservation" MHP is an exception, he says, because of the diversity of its businesses. In spite of the fact that it is at a 52-week high, Cramer would pick it up as a best-of-breed in media and believes it will keep going up.

Cramer on Demand: Genentech (DNA) - The stock listeners most wanted to discuss this week is Genetech which has Avastin, a "wonder saving drug" according to Cramer who sees a risk/reward of 15 up and one down.

Bullish calls:

Harley-Davidson (HOG): Cramer says that HOG is an example of a stock the Street hates because they do not think the consumer will spend a lot of money for motorcycles. However, he points out that since this is a best-of-breed stock, it will do well regardless of the economic climate.
Best Buy's (BBY): Cramer likes BBY's management
McDonald's (MCD) AT&T (T), Continental Airlines (CAL) and JC Penney (JCP): Cramer says that all of these stocks are doing "terrifically."

Neutral/Bearish calls:

Circuit City (CC): Although CC sells the most big-screen TVs, Cramer says that its management is not bankable.
Red Hat (RHAT): Cramer says that this company has no credibility, difficulties with management and a slow rate of growth. He would switch to Apple.
