MCD* |
54.25 |
McDonald's
(MCD*)
Jim: Alright,
McDonald’s reports the quarter and
everybody goes blah… I say what do you
mean blah, Jim Skinner delivers once
again… people are worried about a strong
dollar… that is nonsense… this company
has delivered consistently… and boosts
its dividend consistently… there are no
buy and holds on Cramer’s Mad Money… but
you do buy and homework, you come up
with a winner with MCD.

Hershey Co. (HSY)
Jim: I think that the
quarter is going to be dynamite, I do
not think that people realize how much
this is levered to convenience store
purchases… when gasoline went under $2,
convenience store purchases soared…
Hershey’s raw costs are down, cocoa
costs under control… new management… I
think Hershey’s is the only food stock
that has 15% to 20% upside when it
reports.

ACN |
26.79 |
Accenture Ltd. (ACN)
Jim: You know what I
am surprised that Accenture had that
quarter… I believe that it is a better
company… I did not think, I thought that
it should have delivered more…
especially with the blow up at
Satyam…
I am convinced that
IBM (IBM),
as much as I hate to say this because
the stock is already up from $80... is a
much better play on consoling… and I am
glad that they did not get
Sun Microsystems Inc. (JAVA),
even though I am never going to diss
Larry Ellison at
Oracle Corp. (ORCL)…
I think that IBM is the way to play.

Las Vegas Sands (LVS)
Jim: I keep seeing
Las Vegas Sands trying to make a bottom…
and then I look at that balance sheet
and I get horrified… I look at McCairan
Airport loading numbers, literally…
every month we get numbers from the
airport in Las Vegas, they were down
another 11%… I think that is really bad
for Las Vegas Sands… I will not
recommend that, as a matter of fact, I
prefer
Wynn Resorts (WYNN)
to Las Vegas Sands… and what I really
prefer is the
Wynn bonds, but I usually
do no talk about bonds on this show… too
speculative for me.

McDermott International Inc.
(MDR)
Jim: You know when
McDermott came… when they reconstituted
McDermott, and I recommended the stock…
and I know the company, a very proud
company, it is a great company… but in
the end we have a President who is very
anti-carbon… he also seems to be
anti-nuclear which surprises me… because
that generates no carbon… and because of
how carbon based McDermott’s product
line up is, I just can’t get behind it…
it is the same reason that I cannot get
behind Peabody Coal, or Arch Coal… the
President is just too negative on it…
and McDermott, as great a company as it
is… will not have any momentum given the
fact that the President of the United
States seems totally against their core
business.
