Buy Weyerhauser - Cramer's Lightning Round (8/18/08)

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV program, Monday, August 18.

Bullish Calls:

Weyerhauser (WY) -- “Housing should bottom nine months from now and Weyerhauser is bottoming, too. I like the dividend yield. Weyerhauser is a buy.”

Visa (V) -- “I am bullish on Visa.”

Bearish Calls:

Weatherford International (WFT) -- “Sell, sell, sell. If the price per barrel drops to $90 as some analysts are predicting, the Weatherford will go down, too. Besides, oil refiners aren’t working right now.”

Jet Blue Airways (JBLU) -- “I won’t recommend an airlines stock. Rarely do they make money for investors.

Yahoo! (YHOO) -- “Google (GOOG) is a better stock to own.”

Boeing (BA) -- “Boeing is too low to sell, but there isn’t a catalyst making it worth buying.”

PPL (PPL) -- “Exelon (EXC) is a better pick.”

I don't understand why Cramer is around any more. When BA was 100 it was a "buy, buy, buy." Anyone remember? I am sure Cramer doesn't.

Cramer,the talking 6-week chart, simply tells people to do was right over the last couple of few weeks.

If the trend continues,he is right,else he is wrong.

Right now the market is flip-floping a lot,so he is more wrong than right.
