Jim Cramer's Mad Money In-Depth Stock Picks, 8/23/07

Stocks discussed in the in-depth session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV program, Thursday August 23. Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:

True Value: Aircastle (AYR) Genesis Lease (GLS)

Cramer suggested buying value stocks in the wake of the selloff. He defines a value stock as one which is down 20% from its 52-week high and pays a minimum of 3% in dividends. Such stocks are cheap because hedge fund managers have recently been forced to sell "good companies with broken stocks." A high dividend stock should do well if the Fed continues to cut rates. Cramer's first value pick was AYR, which owns and leases jets and was sold off in June by investors worried about the credit crisis. Cramer notes the COO has bought 2,000 shares and comments insiders "only buy for one reason: They think their company's stock is going up."He also suggested value play GLS, which is down 15% since Cramer recommended it, but has $1.2 billion in capital and a dividend at 8.2%.

EMC (EMC), VMware (VMW)

Cramer also touted momentum stocks as a way of dealing with the current economic climate, and recommended looking at the new high list. He predicted a significant upside for EMC, up just 3% after it spun off VMW, a stock that has risen to $70 from its initial public offering of $19. He added EMC trades at only 11 times next year's earnings, but recommended waiting for a bit before buying.

Sell Block: Boeing (BA), ConocoPhillips (COP), Terex (TEX), Caterpillar (CAT), Air Product & Chemicals (APD), Energizer Holdings (ENR), XTO Energy (XTO)

Cramer revisited his $80 to $120 stocks he covered in July, admitting that he "misjudged the market" now that the S & P is down 4.5%. He still likes BA, down 3.3% since his recommendation, as well as COP, TEX and CAT. Cramer says APD has pricing power, given the paucity of chemical companies, ENR is good but a bit expensive and prefers XTO to other energy companies.

Mad Mail: Omniture (OMTR), Apple (AAPL), Countrywide Financial (CFC), Bank of America (BAC), Crocs (CROX)

Cramer predicts OMTR is going to $30 and says Apple is "going to be terrific." The CFC "play is over" and the curtain is rising for BAC. He feels Crocs is "on a mission" and recommends listening to the conference call.
