'Protection Money' - Introduction

 

.  .  .  .  .

No specific stock picks
in this segment.

See next segment for Jim's
five specific protection stocks.

.  .  .  .  .

 


All right, we've had two really crazy days... One just awful... the other, awful, and a little bit of a bounce... but still, at the end of the day, lots of money lost...

Which makes me think you can't be out there unprepared anymore...

So, tonight I'm giving you my primer on how to deal with the potential recession caused by real estate...

The bottom line!:     Before I give you the picks that match the new description of 1990... Before I tell you what you can get behind, and let them shoot at you and it won't mean a thing... I have to tell you I need you to sell the bad... buy the good... and you will be left with your bullet-proof vest, and bullet-proof glass... and, after the break, I'll tell you exactly what stocks I'd put in my machine gun, grenade launcher, mortar and bullet-proof portfolio...

'Protection Money' - Jim's Five Stock Picks

Tonight, we're preparing for the worst... setting up a recession/bullet-proof portfolio that I believe can make you money even in a recession caused by the total collapse in the value of your house... a recession that looks increasingly-likely, whether the Fed keeps cutting - as I think it will - or not.

When the going gets tough - as it surely has, after this selloff - your first priority has to be capital preservation...

We don't talk enough about capital preservation on Cramer's Mad Money... We're trying to make you money... But, when I see the market doing the crazy things that it's been doing, all you want are stocks that are immunized against what's causing these big declines... that's your first priority, especially if you want to stay in the game.

Your second priority is owning stocks that ought to keep going higher... even as we travel... into the heart of darkness that is this potential recession... a repeat of 1990, the last time we had a crisis thanks to the developers of commercial real estate...

 

.  .  .  .  .



You want stocks with high growth... stocks that are indestructible. These are your classic recession stocks... stocks with great balance sheets that don't need to borrow to make money, and stocks with good, safe dividend yields...

We also want to focus on companies that do a lot of business overseas... and companies that belong to the great bull markets that we've identified... these have been running hot all year and should keep making you money, even in a recession...

Given those criteria, what passes muster?... What stocks would I want as my bullet-proof vest?...

I've got five stocks for you... the perfect number in a diversified portfolio for a homegamer, that doesn't have a lot of time to spend on homework, but still wants to pick individual stocks, and wants a diversified portfolio...

You really want to write these down, because this is the first time I've really given you the recession-proof portfolio...

Here are those stocks... 

Altria Group Inc. (MO*)
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX*)
Foster Wheeler, Ltd. (FWLT)
Transocean Inc. (RIG*)
MedcoHealth Solutions Inc. (MHS)

that he mentions frequently, at Amazon.com...

The bottom line!:     These are the stocks you want for the worst-case scenario... They are your bullet-proof vest and bullet-proof glass... and it's no coincidence, by the way that, even when the market was down hideously today - and certainly when it closed - every single one of these stocks was up... Consider Altria Group Inc. (MO*), Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX*), Foster Wheeler, Ltd. (FWLT)
Transocean Inc. (RIG*), and MedcoHealth Solutions Inc. (MHS) in your worst-case scenario portfolio.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money recap summary from the CNBC TV show.

 
  KEY TO SYMBOLS:

| 

 
   

 

 

Definition:  'Pull the trigger' is Jim's phrase for making the decision at that point to 'buy'...
'Let It Come In' indicates how you may wait for it to pull back, or have the stock price come down briefly, as your chance (after letting it come in) to buy the rest of your position (i.e., total number of shares you own in that stock).

Definition:  'backing it up' or 'doing a 'mon-back' is Jim's phrase for the metaphor of backing up a truck to load up on a stock by buying it.  'Mon-back is short for the imaginary worker saying, 'Come on back...' as the truck is backing up to receive its load... Notice that we use the little truck icon to indicate where Jim has mentioned this.
