Jim Cramer looked into why the horrible quarter projected by FedEx (FDX) did not send the markets lower, as he expected. He identified four things he missed. First, investors were clearly thinking that if the European Central Bank has positive things to say about the debacle in Europe later this week, FedEx will be the first company to benefit from a pickup in economic activity. Second, the FedEx news really wasn't that much of a shocker, especially since rival UPS (UPS) had pretty much the same sentiment when it last reported. Third, the iPath Dow Jones Copper ETF (JJC), a barometer for economic activity, and the Currency Shares Euro Trust (FXE), a gauge of Europe, were both in the green all day. Finally, Cramer said there are simply enough positive things happening in the U.S., such as strong housing and auto sales, that perhaps the bad news out of FedEx just didn't matter as much as expected. "Speculation is not a sin, if it's done right," Cramer reminded viewers, highlighting three such names that have proven him right. While Sprint Nextel (S) languished at first, CEO Dan Hesse delivered on his promises, giving shareholders a tremendous return. Sunrise SEnior Living (SRZ) also has a bankable CEO and a solid business as its core. The turnaround took four years, but shareholders who believed were handsomely rewarded. Finally, Heckmann (HEK), another company that has a bankable CEO with a proven track record. Cramer said all three of these companies show what speculation is really all about. Nokia is the opposite of smart speculation. The company has neither a proven CEO at the helm, nor a core business that investors can rally around. He said at $2 a share it might now be too late to sell Nokia, but it hasn't yet proven itself worthy of buying. Cramer also sat down with Michael Jennings, president and CEO of HollyFrontier (HFC), an oil refiner whose shares are up 70% so far this year. Cramer said he's been remiss in not recommending HollyFrontier sooner. HollyFrontier's dividend yield is 6.5%, far higher than the 2.5% industry average. LIGHTNING ROUND: (Bullish) MCD; SBAC; AMT.

Crest Financial Limited, the largest of the independent minority stockholders of Clearwire Corporation (CLWR), protested the decision of the Clearwire Board of Directors to adjourn the Clearwire special meeting to consider Sprint's (S) increased offer price of $3.40 per share. Crest said that it has sent a letter to the Clearwire Board of Directors urging them to resist Sprint's new offer so that Clearwire can pursue direct offers through a competitive process once the bidding war over Sprint is concluded. Crest's letter to the Clearwire Board said, "Sprint's new offer for Clearwire still significantly undervalues Clearwire and its assets and provides no protections to minority stockholders." |
