theflyonthewall.com: Jim Cramer's "Mad Money"
Jim Cramer laid out his game plan for the week of May 14, ahead of Facebook's (FB) IPO on Friday. (Monday) Groupon (GRPN) reports, Cramer said this stock shows us just what can go wrong with a red hot technology-related IPO. He said to stay away. (Tuesday) A slew of retail earnings, including JC Penney (JCP), Dick'' Sporting Goods (DKS), Saks (SKS), TJX Stores (TJX) and Home Depot (HD). Cramer was bullish on TJX and Home Depot, but told investors to steer clear of the others for now. (Wednesday) earnings include John Deere (DE) a perpetually downbeat conference call, Target (TGT) a retailer whose prospects are looking up, along with two restaurants Jack in the Box (JACK) and Red Robin (RRBG). Cramer said he's intrigued by Target, but would only listen to the two burger chains'' results. (Thursday) Reporting: Ross Stores (ROST), Gap Stores (GPS) and Dollar Tree (DLTR), along with cloud computing giant Salesforce.com (CRM). Cramer said to buy any of the retailers on weakness, but only pickup Salesforce if the weakness is severe. (Friday) the expected IPO of Facebook (FB) and Cramer once again told investors to get in on the IPO, if they can, but absolutely do not buy any shares in the aftermarket. Next, Cramer said he's always a fan of companies unlocking value by splitting themselves up. In a case like Marathon Oil (MRO), shares rose 30% from the time the deal was announced until the split actually occurred earlier this year. But once the split happens, cautioned Cramer, the opportunity comes to an end. Now ConocoPhillips (COP) has spun off its Phillips 66 (PSX) refining and pipeline assets, the company is only growing at 3% to 5% a year, hardly enough to get excited about., Cramer says. He prefers Chevron (CVX), which offers a smaller dividend but also more growth. Investors looking for even more upside should consider EOG Resources (EOG) or an oil pipeline like Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP). Bottom-line: Cramer said that he's not a buyer of either half of the old Conoco and told investors that this opportunity, like most other break up stories, has come to an end. Then, Cramer put the energy drink maker Monster Beverage (MNST) through his 10-step prism to find out if its a turbo-charged company or just an over-caffeinated stock. Weighing all the pros and cons, Cramer said that he would invest in Monster only as a speculative stock. He also recommended using deep-in-the-money call options as a stock replacement strategy to limit the downside risk. MAD MAIL: Medtronic (MDT) is dead money and there are better places to invest. Cramer prefers Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) instead of Inergy (NRGY). Conns (CONN) too risky. Cramer is only recommending a few oil stocks and not Carrizo (CRZO). Bearish on Windstream Communications (WIN). Abbott Labs (ABT) is his favorite drug stock. NO HUDDLE OFFENSE: Cramer sounded off on the JPMorgan Chase (JPM)) bad-trade debacle. Cramer suggested JPM CEO Jamie Dimon give up his bonus as a gesture of good will toward shareholders. LIGHTNING ROUND: (Bullish) DOW; CCE; HBAN, buy under $6. (Bearish) UPL; BGCP; BRCD; ERF.Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com

Under the terms of the agreement, after the equity joint venture is established, the facility would be set up in the Shanghai Lingang Industrial Zone south of the Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Honeywell was selected to provide fly-by-wire controls, the wheel and brake system, the APU, and the avionics navigation and air data system for the new platform, a contract valued at more than $11.3B over the program life. :theflyonthewall.com

theflyonthewall.com: Jim Cramer's "Mad Money"
Jim Cramer noted that housing is coming back "and it's going to take a lot of sectors with it." Cramer said the housing market may have bottomed out in 2007, but things are finally beginning to change as homebuilders like Toll Brothers (TOL) and Lennar (LEN) are up 31% and 40% for the year, respectively. Home builders need materials, said Cramer, so why not look into a Masco (MAS) or Sherwin-Williams (SHW) or Owens Corning (OC)? All of these stocks are cheap, Cramer says. Home buyers will need loans, so that's good news for Wells Fargo (WFC) and US Bancorp (USB), said Cramer. They will also need insurance, think Travelers (TRV). While those may be the obvious plays, Cramer said there are plenty of other companies that benefit as well. Time Warner (TWX) will provide cable service to many new homes while Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) will provide phone service. Cramer also touted retail, which does well when homes are increasing in value. He likes Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY), along with Home Depot (HD) and Costco (COST). EXECUTIVE DECISION: Cramer once again sat down with Richard Pops, chairman and CEO of drug maker Alkermes (ALKS), a company that expects to see double-digit revenue growth next year. Pops said that Alkermes is now in the sweet spot; it's large enough that it has all of the resources it needs to make medicines, get them approved and manufacture them, but it's also not too big that bureaucracy slows its pace of innovation. One of Alkermes' most promising treatments is for alcoholism. And, it also has a promising drug in phase III testing for schizophrenia. Cramer said he continues to like the innovation and growth at Alkermes, even if the company remains a speculative play, as it still has no earnings. OFF THE CHARTS:The technicals are warning investors to be more cautious going forward, as another 5% drop to the downside could be looming. "Keep your eye on the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX)", Cramer concluded. NO HUDDLE OFFENSE: While everything is going right inside Cisco (CSCO), outside factors, including decreasing government spending, are an issue that every technology company will need to address in the near future, Cramer says. Next, Cramer revisited the Hospitality Index, a group of stocks created by restauranteur Danny Meyer in 2009. The Hospitality Index consisted of 17 stocks including Whole Foods (WFM), Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG), Apple (AAPL), Costco (COST) and Amazon.com (AMZN). Since its introduction in 2009, the S&P 500 has delivered a 65% return while the Hospitality Index returned a stellar 257% return with only one stock, DreamWorks Animation (DWA), posting a loss. Cramer said the same things that have made these companies a success over the past three years still hold true today. LIGHTNING ROUND: Hewlett-Packard (HPQ): Cramer doesn't like the stock at all and says "it can go lower, much lower." Pan American Silver (PAAS) is the best house in a shaky neighborhood. Cramer doesn't want to own any miners, they're too dangerous. Hercules Offshore (HERO) If you consider it a speculative stock, Cramer blesses it as a long-term bet on oil. Prudential (PRU) Cramer likes it, but is cautious as the stock doesn't have yield protection. Zipcar (ZIP) Cramer said he would look again when the stock is between $6 and $9 a share. Chesapeake Granite Wash Trust (CHKR) Cramer thinks you can buy it lower. Deere & Co.(DE): "It's a good company but the commodities are weak". Cramer wants to be 'careful'.
