Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round Picks, 6/14/07

Miriam Metzinger submits: Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV program, Thursday June 14. Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:

Bullish calls:

Zimmer (ZMH): 'The stock has 14% growth. It sells for mid-20x's multiple. Do you mind if I say that we wait until it goes under $80, before we absolutely back up the truck? Right now, I'd take a small position - a little schnitzel.'
MasterCard (MA): 'MA goes to $175 before it gets to be too expensive, and stop worrying about the Visa IPO. We will deal with that when it comes time... MA... Way up!'
Yum! Brands (YUM): 'Most of the growth comes from China ... YUM is still, still cheap. $67 goes to $75. At $75, we're going to take a little off the table but, until then, superior growth, superior attitude.'
Reliance Steel (RS): ' ... has a wholesale metal working business that I like.'
Weight Watcher's (WTW): 'I say yes to that. Great secular growth... I'm sticking with it. Under $50, I'm backing up the truck...'
Nastech Pharmaceutical (NSTK)
Time Warner (TWX)
Comcast (CMCSA): ' I think CMCSA is phenomenally undervalued here.'

Bearish calls:

Trump Entertainment Resorts (TRMP): 'I think that this company gets a bid, but I don't think you make any money... So I am going to have to 'sell, sell, sell!'
Mediacom Communications (MCCC): 'MCCC is a little speculative for my taste.'

Miriam Metzinger or Jim Cramer
IS THIS STOCK "NSTK" ALL THE PROMISE OF BEING A TRUE FUTURE SUCCESS STORY REALLY?
I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SINCE THIS PARTICULAR COMPANY HASN'T ACCOMPLISHED MUCH THESE PAST 24 YEARS TO DATE, SPORTING DISMAL
EARNINGS THE PAST 5 YEARS AND THE REST OF THIS YEAR, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST A POOR-46% RETURN ON EQUITY, LOW SALES, POOR EARNINGS, A MINUS IN THEIR BANK ACCOUNT AND BEING OVER FINANCED, A COMPANY
THAT WILL BE A STORY BOOK ENDING.
FOCUSING AND TOUTING THIS COMPANY WITH CONSISTENCY FOR 10 WEEKS
BY CRAMER IS RED FLAG TO ME, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE A HALF DOZEN STOCKS AT ALMOST ONE-THIRD THE PRICE OF NSTK THAT HAVE GREATER POTENTIAL OF APPRECIATION AND BETTER NUMBERS TO MATCH!
CRAMER HAS DONE MORE FOR THIS COMPANY IN 10 WEEKS THAN 'NSTK'S'
PUBLIC RELATIONS DEPARTMENT!
I GUESS ALL THE INVESTMENT PERIODICALS THAT ARE WELL KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY MUST BE ALL 100% WRONG ABOUT 'NSTK' AND JIM'S RIGHT!

Mr.Cramer look at 'nstk' vs 'bmrn' statistics of each company
sales,debt,return on equity,gross margins,money in the bank,QTLY GROWTH
Now look at pipelines bmrn has quite a pipeline
now look at price $11.95nstk vs $13.95bmrn
look at 5 year -10 year chart, bmrn has always done better and is consistent
Now if you touted 'BMRN' AS MUCH AS YOU TOUTED NSTK I COULD UNDERSTAND.
SECONDLY, INVESTORS WOULD HAVE THE ODDS IN THEIR FAVOR AND WITH A PROBABILITY OF BMRN HITTING A TARGET PRICE OF $24 DOLLARS WOULD MAKE YOU A HERO AND PUT YOU BACK ON TRACK OF SELECTING A
WINNING STOCK VS. AN INSANE STOCK LIKE 'NSTK' AND TOUTING IT 15X'S TO DATE!
JIM CRAMER'WAKE UP!

I'm curious if Jim Cramer reads Motely Fool and yesterdays article about NSTK.
Last summer rodman&renshaw and Needham made astounding forecasts for NSTK and 10 months later the stock is down 40%.
Motely points out how inaccurate they are. I guess no one is perfect including Cramer too.
Next quarterly earnings report is a disaster but maybe Jim Cramer can make it look good.
He should have been a Plastic Surgeon, he is quite good at it.
And the rumor of a buyout is the laugh of the year. It's going to more like an auction because no one would want a company with a past performance or current performance like nstk.
SEE WHERE THE PRICE WILL BE AT THE END OF DECEMBER 2007 BECAUSE ALL THE INVESTMENT PERIODICALS CAN'T BE WRONG ABOUT 'NSTK'.

It's going to be a long summer for nstk and in the fall you have more bad earnings reports and a year end disaster earnings report.
Spectacular news would out weigh the Return on equity,
debt,the minus in their bank account and the fact that they are over financed, but you never know. Just like it may snow in the sarah desert, it could happen. If the stock was .96 cents it would be worth a chance but at $11.60 per share with their record no thanks!

JULY 2, 2007
NSTK HEADING TO $10.25 RANGE, NO MATTER HOW MUCH CRAMER PUMPS IT.
SO MANY OTHER BETTER VALUES OUT THERE.
ONE IN PARTICULAR 'ELI' ONLY $2.56
AT LEAST THEY HAVE OVER 300% QUARTERLY GROWTH!
AND YOU' LL HAVE A LARGE PERCENTAGE GAIN ON STOCK PRICE INSTEAD
OF WATCHING NASTECH SLIDE DOWNWARD IN PRICE LITTLE BY LITTLE!
NSTK IS OVER FINANCED AND OVER VALUED IN MY OPINION!

JULY 9TH, 2007
STOCK OPENED OVER 5% TODAY WITH NO NEWS, STRANGE? THAT DOESN'T MEAN TRADERS THINK NEW LOWS WILL BE TESTED SOON, DOES IT? CURRENT GROWTH RATE IS -1300% AND QUART. -23 % AND RETURN ON EQUITY IS -46%. THIS YEAR IS A DISASTER FOR EARNINGS AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS STOCK TO GO UP AND MORE LIKELY TO GO DOWN INSTEAD. THERE IS NO NEWS! SO WHEN IT SETTLES BY END OF JULY IT PROBABLY WILL TEST NEW LOWS! THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INMATES IN PRISON AND SHAREHOLDERS IS THAT AFTER 5 YEARS INMATES GET OUT AND THEY ARE 'FREE'. SHAREHOLDERS ARE WAITING FOR THE GOVERNOR TO PARDON THEM WITH GREAT NEWS! THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST RIDICULOUS STOCK TO OWN OUT OF ALL THAT ARE LISTED ON THE EXCHANGE!
