Going Down? Cramer's Lightning Round (9/15/08)

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV program, Monday, September 15.

Bullish Calls:

Unilever (UN) -- “The company is a huge user of natural gas and great play on a strong dollar. It’s success isn’t dependent on a strong economy. Buy, buy, buy."

Bearish Calls:

Visa (V) -- “The credit card company should do well when housing bottoms in 2009 and gas prices dip to $3 a gallon. Until then, don’t buy.”
Cavium Networks (CAVM) -- “When it comes to semiconductors, it doesn’t matter which one you own, they’re all going down. I do like the sector long term.”
Google (GOOG) -- “Any big-dollar stock is being sold in lumps by hedge funds to raise capital. Don’t buy until Google drops to $400.”
General Dynamics (GD) -- “If you think Barack Obama is going to win the presidency, then you don’t want to own a defense contractor.”
LB Foster (FSTR) -- “Trinity (TRN) is a better pick because it offers the chance to invest in a company that features both rail equipment products and wind turbines.”

I like Cramer, I've liked him for the past 10 years. He and Scott Bleier were the only ones who looked out for the individual investor during the internet bubble. He has a hard job, he has to sit on a fence between the individual investor and the powers that be in this business. He says he dont care about making enemies in this business but he dont mean it. I believe his heart is in the right place he doesn't want to hurt people, people just need to learn Cramer lingo and learn to read between his lines and if people did their homework people would understand him better. For example, when he did catch up the week in april he was trying to tell people that goog which was behind the market since the year started and was going to soar after earnings. He does things like that alot and if you did your homework and know the stock market people would get it. As for him being a clown, yeah he gets clownish at times but thats just for entertainment purposes.
