Cramer's 80 to 120 Rule: Boeing (BA), Caterpillar (CAT) and Cummins (CMI)

Back in the eighties, Cramer formed a theory that leading stocks attract money and just keep leading, and more specifically, stocks which reach $80 usually climb $100 and then to $120. He applied this rule to Boeing and Caterpillar. While some suspect BA, which closed at $99.90 on Monday, is played out, Cramer thinks the good news is not priced into the stock, which he predicts will reach $120. He says the same is true of CAT, which closed at $79.83 on Monday, and thinks the UBS analyst who downgraded CAT made a big mistake. The stock is cheaper than it looks, and has great international exposure to compensate for its lackluster U.S. business. Cramer adds CAT reminds him of CMI, which was at $72, and turned out to be a winner.

Ultra Petroleum (UPL) and Questar (STR)

True to his suggestion to search the newspapers for great stock ideas, Cramer discussed a New York Times article which indicated the Bush Administration told the Bureau of Land Management to make oil and gas drilling a top priority. He suggets making a profit from this news with UPL and STR, which had been prevented from dilling year-round, and now are going to be released from seasonal restrictions. Of the two, Cramer says UPL is more speculative, because it is only leveraged to China on the international scene. The increase on drilling will be good for both companies.

CEO Interview: John Dionisio, Aecom Technology (ACM)

John Dionisio told Cramer 40% of the technical services company's revenue is created overseas, and since there is a lot of consolidation in the industry, ACM should easily find an acquisition. Cramer commented a stock like ACM is what investors need.
