Positive on Pop - Cramer's Lightning Round (7/31/08)

 

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV program,Thursday, July 31.

 

Bullish Calls:

Petrohawk Energy (HK) -- “This is a wildcat play. Everyone has given up on these. I say to sell natural gas at $8 is a mistake. I would buy and not sell.”

Allergan (AGN) -- “I liked the quarter but the Street thought it was not strong enough. I reiterate the stock is good. Imclone (IMCL), Genetech (DNA) and Celgene (CELG) are good.”

Coca-cola Company (KO) -- “I went over the conference call and there was nothing not to like. I like Pepsico (PEP) and Coke both.”

Bearish Calls:

Mastercard (MA) -- “I did not like the quarter. It was not what I expected. Things did not compute - like domestic costs. Sell soon.”

Alon USA Energy (ALJ) -- “I say no. It’s a refiner and I do not like refiners. Valero (VLO) is doing badly and even Exxon (XOM) was hurt by refining.”

Star Bulk Carriers (SBLK) -- “I am still only recommending two, Frontline (FRO) and Nordic American (NAT). Don’t buy this stock now.”

Embraer Empresa BR (ERJ) -- “The stock should be on fire but when Boeing (BA) is going down you can’t buy the stock.”

CBS Corp (CBS) -- “CBS is problematic. It needs more growth but it has a nice yield.  It's a tough one.”

Ace Insurance (ACE) -- “This is the best house in a bad neighborhood. I say no. I would rather buy a bank.”

Embraer IS on fire as all of the world's airlines will be looking for short route planes highly efficient is fuel costs from 35-110 passengers and ERJ is the leader of the pacl in S AMerica. BUY the stock, ignore Cramer's tie-in w/Boeing-they don't rely on each other for movement up/down at all...ERJ will ascend greatly over the next 2 years and started to ascend over the past few months already-check the chart you'll see-LOX
