JJC:
What happened today... the
257-point decline... It's
exactly why I made this
"Warsaw Pact Week"...
It's a day when some of
you might feel like giving
up... just quitting,
because it's so hard...
I've given you four stocks
so far, that are plays on
the five-year-plan style
of growth...
See Monday's pick
here...
See Tuesday's pick
here...
See Wednesday's pick
here...
See Thursday's pick
here...
Coming out of the
countries coming out of
the former Eastern Bloc...
Russia is not America...
Our woes really have very
little, if anything, to do
with them at all. They
have not bought our
mortgages...
It's all part of a broader
trend on this show to talk
about international
stocks, so that you have
less exposure to the U.S.,
avoiding the pain caused
by our recessionary
economy, and our Federal
Reserve whom we said last
year maybe should be a
little more worried.
This has been, and will
continue to be, a constant
theme on this show,
because I believe you need
as much as 20% of your
portfolio... to be in
overseas stocks... because
our country, at times, has
become the pitiful,
helpless giant that
Cramer's fave cold
warrior, (former
President) Dick Nixon,
hinted at some 35 years
ago...
Today, I've got a company
that blankets Eastern
Europe... at least as well
as the Red Army in 1945...
CETV, a TV network in the
Czech Republic, where it
has 43% market share...
Slovakia, it has 40%
share... Romania... with
25% share... Ukraine, with
18% share... and then two
countries that used to be
communist... but owe no
allegiance to Joe
Stalin... Slovenia, where
CETV has a 42% audience
share, and Croatia, where
it has 20%.
It really dominates in a
lot of these countries...
We've actually recommended
this stock way before
now... November 29th of
2005... See complete
comments
here >>...
It's up 61%... That gives
us Russian Boulevard
cred...
The countries where CETV
operates are all growing
well right now, which
means that advertisers are
thrilled to buy ad
space... The Czech
Republic growing at
4.6%... The Ukraine at
5.4%... Slovenia, a little
lagging, at 3.4%...
Romania, 6%... Slovakia
going crazy at 7.3%....
Croatia at GDP, 4.7%...
What are we growing? Zero,
right!...
These are economies,
unlike this one, are where
you want to be running a
television company, plus,
these markets are very
under-penetrated, leaving
CETV with what looks like,
to me, a lot of room to
run. You have to
understand that these are
countries chock full of
ideal consumers... people
that are getting richer...
and are just beginning to
buy Jimmy Chou shoes...
They're not hiding under
their beds, eating
saltines to save Rubles,
like we are in the U.S....
This company is also
buying out their minority
investors in the Ukraine,
where it owns 60% of its
networks. The CEO has said
that
EBITDA... from Ukraine
would almost double, if
the network were wholly
owned... Wow!... I mean,
that's the potential
breadbasket of profits...
This is the exact same
thing they did in
Slovakia, where revenue
grew 48% last quarter...
This is the antidote to
all the TV and radio and
media companies that go
down everyday... This is
where you've got to own
media...
Plus, there's CETV's
internet division. It
isn't making money yet,
but it's got websites in
Croatia and Romania, and
they're leaders in those
countries... Paid users
for the whole division are
200% year over year...
This could be very big if
CETV gets better at
monetizing it.
Hey, opportunity... The
stock's off (i.e., down in
price) big... They did a
convertible bond deal. I
wouldn't worry about it
one bit, because it
converts well above where
the stock is now.
Valuation... way too low.
16.8x expected earnings...
31% growth rate!... I call
a cheap when it has good
fundamentals and the
multiple is below the
growth rate. I mean, this
is so far below the growth
rate, I can't really
believe it...
31% growth is just
outstanding in a
low-growth world. I'm
jumping up and down on
this one... like a
newly-released prisoner
from the Gulag... where
reception is just awful...
. . . .
.
The Bottom Line!:
Get into Central
European Media Enterprises
(CETV)
while it's cheap, because
I believe this is one of
the best ways to play the
embrace of capitalism in
the former Eastern Bloc,
as well as parts of the
former Yugoslavia...

JJC:
We've been playing
catch-up all week, as in
stocks that need to catch
up to the rest of their
sector... This week, for
the same reason I've been
doing all these Soviet
stocks, they protect you
from down-257-point
days...
We had one (today)... I'm
trying to give you
protection and give you
offense...
Ketchup stocks, which have
gone up a lot less than
their peers, and seem to
be a lot less
over-extended, shouldn't
get hit as hard, or stay
down as long, during a big
decline like today's...
That's why I gave you...
See Monday's Ketchup Stock
here...
See Tuesday's Ketchup
Stock
here...
See Wednesday's Ketchup
Stock
here...
See Thursday's Ketchup
Stock
here...
Today, my Ketchup Stock is
Canadian Natural Resources
Ltd. (CNQ)...
That's the second-largest
oil and gas producer in
Canada, with a lot oil
sands exposure... CNQ is
cheaper than the rest of
its cohort, because of a
new project that's gone
bad... the Horizon
Project... It's been hit
with delays and cost
overruns... It's a real
bummer... But it's a huge
project that could produce
as many as 110,000 of
barrels per day - that's a
lot - when it comes online
in the third quarter...
In 2007, CNQ's total
production was 609,000
barrels per day... The
project's going to be huge
for them. The folks at
Lehman Brothers values it
as much as $29.00 to
$36.00 per share... I
mean, that's huge,
right?...
This project coming online
should be reason enough
for CNQ to play catch up,
but it's got other things
going for it too. CNQ has
the second-largest land
position in Western
Canada, and especially
large positions in
Montenay (?) and Musqua
(?) shales... which they
haven't even started
developing yet... These
are gigantic pieces of
land.
But high natural gas
prices might change that,
as EOG Resources, Inc.
(EOG)
recently indicated that
these regions contain...
are you ready?... 6
trillion cubic feet of
recoverable gas
reserves... And TriStone
Capital has estimated that
CNQ's position in shale
has around 3.6 trillion
cubic feet of unrisked
reserve potential...
Now, remember, this is the
year of Cramer's year of
natural gas... and, with
so many American natural
gas companies now
drilling, it's possible
CNQ won't be far behind...
I think that CNQ, if it
gets it right - and it
very well could get it
right - could be the next
Anadarko Petroleum
(APC)
or
Apache Corp. (APA),
although that's a tall
order, as APA is drilling
like mad in Canada, and
looks like it could make
tons of Loonies while,
right now, CNQ is simply
driving investors
loonie...
I think CNQ is about to
get out of the Loony Bin,
and into the Loonie
bank...
Also, because CNQ has a
lot of heavy oil
production, it's
benefiting from the
narrowing price between
heavy and light oil;
there's a differential
always... As oil goes
higher, it takes those
with marginal holdings -
like CNQ - and takes them
up more than the ones that
have a lot of what I
consider to be my favorite
drink... Light Sweet
Crude...
CNQ is trading at 13.1x
earnings. The average
multiple for the group is
13.9x... so it's obviously
trading at a big discount
to its peers...
I think CNQ deserves a
premium, especially once
that Horizon Project
starts producing in that
3rd quarter... That's why
the stock will play catch
up...
. . . .
.
The Bottom Line!:
Canadian Natural Resources
Ltd. (CNQ)
has been a laggard,
because it's big Horizon
Project has held it back.
Now that the company says
it's on schedule to come
online in the 3rd quarter,
I think CNQ deserves catch
up, and deserves to become
a leader...
