Buy Rent-A-Center -- Cramer's Lightning Round (7/24/08)

Another excellent pick on Rent-a-Center.....From 2005-2007 net income declined by 43.8% while sales, general, and administrative expenses increased by 50.3% (Well run companies in good market segments tend to do the opposite of that Cramer...just a little tip for ya).....It also pays no dividend has 1.25 BILLION in long term debt compared to 947 million in share holders equity....Very cheap at 17times ttm earnings and 1.6 times book don't ya think?.......BTW Cramer folks who can't pay their credit cards can't pay rent-a-center either....Nother tip for ya.

Happy Days for Panera - Cramer's Mad Money (7/23/08)

Who can argue against purchasing stock in a company whose business segment is over saturated, highly competitive, and a product which is one of the top three consumers are eliminating from their budgets. Apparently not Cramer. Net income DECLINED by 2.4% from 2006 to 2007. While sales, general, and administrative expense increased by 16.4% over the same time period. It's cheap at 25 times ttm earnings and over 3 times book. Nice pick CRAMER!
