jimcramerpicks — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 17:29:00 +0000

The Obamacare debate is fabulous. But once this plan is put in place, it will be impossible for employers to create new jobs.

Chipolte is one of the pre-eminent job creators in this country. When they are asked about ObamaCare, they just say that they hope the Supreme Court doesn’t allow it.

What Jim Cramer wants doesn’t matter. The bottom line is that business leaders do not want this. an underground economy will develop because of ObamaCare, This is a front and center issue with every CEO.

The businesses will now move more jobs overseas because of this.

Jim Cramer – How to Interpret News Events

jimcramerpicks — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 17:12:44 +0000

Just because a story is big news, it doesn’t mean that it is a big deal to the stock market. Trying to co-mingle the market with the news can leave your head spinning.

The new tax on dividend should send stocks lower. And what happens if the deficit level goes from out of control to completely apocalyptic?

If we allow the Bush tax cuts to expire, we could experience a whole other recession.

The economy cannot handle the blow that ObamaCare is going to deal it. It is going to make hiring much more expensive for employers.

Individual stocks may or may not be affected by these exogenous events. What does the deficit have to do with the P/E ratio of Bristol Meyers?

These stories don’t affect the price of Apple, Microsoft, Verizon, or AT&T.

However, a disorderly breakdown in Greece would be negative for stocks. And what happens if China cuts interest rates?

Right now, interest rates are so low that Treasuries can’t compete with stocks.

Even if Obama raises taxes on dividends, stocks will still be far more attractive than Treasuries.

Stocks are historically cheap right now. We aren’t at the juncture where we have seen the bad news on the tape. It is our job to predict what events will do to the stock market, but it is impossible to predict the future.

We can’t predict the future, but we can’t be held captive buy it either. The solution is to invest in individual stocks.

Jim Cramer – Gas is Going to $5 per Gallon

jimcramerpicks — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:05:05 +0000

Gas will go up to $5 a gallon this summer. At the same time, the demand for oil will go down.

Israel will strike in the next 6 months. However, it isn’t clear whether they will be able to shut down the nuclear reactor.

Iran may be able to cut off the oil. This is a major calamity that will send oil skyrocketing.

Gasoline is going higher and there is a lot of risk. Iran is setting up another holocaust, and Israel was put there to prevent that.

Diesel fuel users and natural gas engines are going to take the world by storm. So far, natural gas has been a one way ticket down, but that is now coming to an end.

Jim Cramer – When to Sell Apple

Options are expiring soon, but should you sell your stocks now?

The next pull back will be buyable, but it is possible that we are in a 12-year plan. When you are looking to put money to work, the market just can’t go down fast enough.

The latest government program has been a tremendous success. The United States is far stronger than people realize. So you definitely shouldn’t take profits yet.

There are a lot of individual stocks that are doing very well. Cramer isn’t negative at all right now. If the market went down 3-5%, that would be quite surprising.

JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley are great banks to own right now.

Apple should go up to $550.

Jim Cramer Says We Are in the 1980′s and 1990′s Again

jimcramerpicks — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:14:19 +0000

This market is allowing you in to make money on a daily basis. It’s time to discuss what is really going on. We have an honest bonafide bull market going on.

Cramer has seen all kinds of markets. The 80s and 90s were true bull markets, and that is the environment we are in again.

This is the anatomy of a bull: First, there is always a healthy dose of skepticism. Too many people are hiding in other asset classes, such as Treasuries.

Last year, stocks didn’t do what they were supposed to do. Even when earnings were good, the stocks wouldn’t go up. Now, investors are taking earnings at face value.

Bull markets let you in. Bear markets suck you in. 2012 is a great buying opportunity, unlike last year. Even Microsoft has busted through the $30 ceiling. The good stocks don’t seem to quit.

Every day Apple goes up. This market is not zero-sum. Tech stocks keep rallying nicely. This is amazing. We haven’t been able to sustain a rally like this since the 90s. There is money going around to buy every single type of stock. The last decade was an unsustainable run, but this next rally is going to convince people again that stocks are a great investment.

Jim Cramer – A True Bull Market?

Union Pacific is the best railroad right now. CSX is probably the worst right now, because they have a lot of coal. Buffett bought Burlington Northern, but that could be doing better.

Any railroad person will say that coal is the primary good that they transport. You are going to see utility companies switching from coal to natural gas, especially at these prices. The railroad stocks will probably go lower.

You want stocks that you are ready to buy on dips, and Union Pacific is one of them.

Fed Ex is another stock you want to buy. But it is a tough stock to get back into because it keeps going up. You need an exogenous event to get in. Earnings are going up, and we have P/E multiple expansion. That’s why this is a true bull market.

Jim Cramer February 2012

Greece will be a good reason to sell off. There are a lot of surprises in this market. Everything is counterintuitive in 2012. One thing to keep in mind is that when you have a growing economy, you can trade on your own momentum. Growth allows you to analyze individual companies that are doing well, irrespective of Europe.

This market is like the 80s and 90s. Coke could be at 30, then 60, then 90, then 120. There was a radical revaluation of stocks. Because interest rates are so low, people are going to start to realize that Coke is a better bet than the United States.

What will happen is that people will begin to realize that dividends are important.

Why Jim Cramer Flip-Flops

Disney reported a quarter that was light on revenue. But that’s what they wanted. There was too much money being lost making revenue. They decided to stick with their main brands rather than trying to make a lot of money. They are sticking with their tried and true, the way that Time Warner has been doing.

Disney is going for profitability rather than revenue. This market has the characteristics of a true bull market, as opposed to the last 12 years. The theme park growth for Disney was also very strong. The consumers have more money than people realize. Everyone is hitting a 52 week high.

Cramer may flip flop from time to time, but he isn’t running for president. Sometimes the facts flip flop. This isn’t politics, it is money.

Other companies like Cisco may have a good quarter, but there is no way to predict what Groupon will do.
