Cramer's Stop Trading! What Does Mark Hurd Have to Do? (2/18/10)

Stocks discussed on Jim Cramer's Stop Trading! TV segment, Thursday February 18.

Procter & Gamble (PG), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Chesapeake (CHK)

Cramer despaired of the market's "ennui" evidenced by the tepid reaction to Procter & Gamble's (PG) 4 to 6% growth over the last year; the stock price is only up 1%. By the same token, Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) success has been neglected; cost cuts and increases in sales brought the company's earnings up 25%, and yet no one is buying HPQ.

"What does (HPQ CEO) Mark Hurd have to do?"

Chesapeake Energy (CHK) "hit it out of the park" when it reported a narrower fourth quarter loss. But Chesapeake was up only 49 cents. "No one cares about these great earnings," Cramer said.
