Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

KSP

18.62

K-SEA Transportation Partners LP (KSP)

Jim:   You know this reminds me of Linn Energy, LLC (LINE), where people said Jim you did not like it because you did not trust the dividend… I have to get K-Sea Transport guy on air before I can make a judgment… because that yield is so, so outsized at 16%… I refuse to make a judgment until he comes on the show… and I will not be hostile, I will be forgiving.

CPB

28.24

Campbell Soup Co. (CPB)

Jim:   Campbell’s Pork n Beans, I got to tell you that that was a beautiful quarter… it reminds me of Hershey Co. (HSY)… Campbell’s quarter was just a dynamite quarter… nobody seemed to care… I think that the company has gotten it together… I say pull the trigger… I think that you will do just fine… CPB!

IBM

105.02

IBM (IBM)

Jim:   I have got to tell you that I am not banking against IBM… they have delivered too many good quarters… they have too much cash flow… they have become a great software company at $105, you know that stock was down a $100 because of options expiration… I would buy it right here… I have to reiterate that that the stock is just darn cheap… I think that people are avoiding that stock, they continue to wait until it gets down below $100... they are going to wait, and wait, and they are going to miss their opportunity… I say pull the trigger now.

Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

EW

64.00

Edwards Lifesciences Corp. (EW)

Jim:   You know I am kind of amazed at the fact that we are at a moment where people do not like these medical device companies, and the companies that are healthcare… this thing has been on a tear… do you know what I am going to have to do… I am going to have to reserve judgment, because one other time I recommended this stock and I think that it cut me off at the knees… I must do more work before I opine on it.  Hey, better not to punt... Better to just say I don't have it...


 

MCD*

58.84

McDonald's (MCD*)

Jim:   Do you know what… I have liked McDonald’s from the time, and no one remembers that Jim Skinner was on the show on our truncated Olympics show, I have liked McDonald’s… I recommended McDonald’s as one of the stocks to buy on Jim Cramer’s
Stay Mad For Life…. and I think that the deal here is very clear… McDonald’s a weak dollar play, commodities coming down… I think you buy, buy, buy… and do not be dissuaded that the stock has moved up big… and by the way, Carls Jr. (i.e., CKE Restaurants Inc. (CKR), what did we say… we said that it was going to be ignited and it ignited.

*Note:  McDonald's is included as a key holding in Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust Portfolio, which you can see here>



THC

3.15

Tenet Healthcare (THC)

Jim:   Earlier I said that it was too speculative, my friend, buddy, pal Cheryl Scolnick at CRT Capital, corrected me and said listen Jim this is the right time for Tenet… who am I to go against Cheryl… yes, I got you in at $3, got you out at $5, got you out at $2 again, getting you in at $3 again.. I am human… nobody is perfect.
