Jim Cramer identified six such battlegrounds in the markets today. 1) Employment: the bears are crying foul over recent upticks in hiring but the bulls seeing some reasons for hope and buying into retail stocks such as Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) and Costco (COST). 2) Looming fiscal cliff. The bears see it as an "insurmountable Everest", but the bulls view it more as a bump in the road. Then there's the battle over where corporate earnings are headed in 2013. The bears cite FedEx (FDX) and its two guide-downs, but the bulls look to FedEx's positive comments for 2013 and beyond. 3) China - Alcoa (AA) continues to disappoint there, but also offered some glimmer of hope that things will improve in late 2013. Mergers and acquisitions and countless IPOs have been closing below their openings and drifting lower thereafter. But the bulls saw this trend end Thursday with a handful of prominent IPOs that all closed higher. 4) Finally, Cramer said there's a battle over Apple (AAPL). The bears have all sorts of reasons to hate the stock, but the bulls clearly have history on their side. Cramer said, all of these battles may make the markets seem very confusing, which is why he continues to advise proceeding with caution. Next, Cramer's always on the hunt for stocks that represent good value, which is why Dean Foods (DF) caught his attention after the stock fell from $17 a share to just $14.65 despite the company's recent announcement that its spinning off its WhiteWave-Alpro organic food division. While some analysts have been bearish on Dean, given the rising price of milk, Cramer said the more important question is how much value this company can unlock by spinning off its highly valuable assets -- which are lost within the larger company. For the next installment of his "anointed stocks," Cramer featured two more names he said will be hot on money managers' minds through the rest of the year: Sherwin-Williams (SHW) and Diageo (DEO). EXECUTIVE DECISION: Cramer spoke with Sam Susser, chairman and CEO of Susser Petroleum (SUSP), a subsidiary of Susser Holdings (SUSS), which owns and operates 550 convenience stores and gas stations in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Louisiana. Susser Petroleum currently sports a 7.2% yield. Cramer said that the little-known Susser is exactly the kind of high-yield opportunity he seeks. NO HUDDLE OFFENSE: Cramer gave his opinion on news that Sprint Nextel (S) may be entering into a deal with Japan's Softbank. Both Sprint and Clearwire (CLWR) both rallied on the news. He said Sprint is a keeper, and CEO Dan Hesse has proven himself a very smart man thus far. Clearwire is burdened with so much debt that Cramer believes Sprint would be foolish to buy the 52% of the company it doesn't already own. Cramer would be a seller of that stock now that it's up 62% on the news. LIGHTNING ROUND: (Bullish) MWE; CRM; NPSP; OPK; DUK; ED; AKAM; VZ is under pressure from Sprint Nextel (S) so Cramer said when it gets to a 5% yield, pull the trigger. They've got competition now. (Bearish) SBUX; PFE - Cramer thinks it can go back to $23 but he doesn't like their growth prospects as much as Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY). Reference Link | |
