theflyonthewall.com: Jim Cramer's "Mad Money"
According to Jim Cramer, markets appear rigged, and the only losers appear to be the shareholders. Cramer questions....Was the Facebook (FB) IPO fair? With news that Morgan Stanley (MS) may have alerted some of its biggest customers about slowing growth at the company, it appears not. Were investors at J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM) misled by CEO Jamie Dimon, who repeatedly said things were going great even though the company was in the process of losing $5B? It appears so, Cramer says. Cramer said it gets even worse: Both Morgan Stanley and J.P. Morgan will use shareholder money to investigate and defend themselves against any wrongdoing -- and to pay the fines, too. Cramer said companies get away with stunts like this because the system is broken and Washington isn't doing anything to fix it. Cramer said the bad apples on Wall Street must pay for their actions, and that will only happen if the government starts targeting them directly. Next, Cramer wasn't done with suggestions for J.C. Penney (JCP) CEO Ron Johnson on how to revive the ailing retailer. After comparing J.C. Penney's turnaround attempt to that of Pier 1 Imports (PIR) on Monday, Cramer then compared Penney to the turnaround in Chico's FAS (CHS). Chico's reshuffled its merchandise and took the rare step of raising prices in order to attract its core, older customers while shunning a younger demographic. This strategy worked. Chico's reported a 21% pop in yoy revenue with a 9.6% increase in same store sales. Cramer concluded. J.C. Penney needs to stop pandering to Wall Street and get to work on the almost impossible task of a retail turnaround. Investors need to play defense with their portfolios, Cramer told viewers. That means high-quality domestic companies with no exposure to the trials and tribulations of Europe and a juicy dividend yield. B&G Foods (BGS) is one such company. It has the unique talent of being able to reinvigorate brands. In an environment where commodity costs are falling, Cramer said that B&G, with its excellent balance sheet and great gross margins, is in a terrific position to surprise Wall Street. Shares trade at just 15x earnings and the company has a 12% long-term growth rate. SELL BLOCK: Cramer highlighted several stocks that investors need to avoid at all costs. Best Buy (BBY) has a broken business model. First Solar (FSLR) government subsidies are drying up quick. Cramer also put three stocks in the penalty box, saying investors need to wait at least one quarter before pulling the trigger. He said Mako Surgical (MAKO) stumbled in its last quarter, so he needs to see whether bigger problems exist. The same applies to Deckers Outdoor (DECK) where the company's Ugg boots may or may not be making a comeback. Finally, Cramer thinks Fossil (FOSL), which is levered to Europe, is another wait-and-see situation. In a special interview, Cramer sat down with CNBC colleague David Faber to discuss Faber's latest documentary on J. Crew (JCG) CEO Millard Drexler, which debuts Thursday evening. Faber said Drexler, while unknown to many, is one of the greatest retailers of our generation. He said Drexler's work turning around Gap (GPS) would have been noteworthy enough, but Drexler has continued to innovate and succeed in the cut-throat retail world.
