Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Four Spec Names to Play

Stock quotes in this article: LNDC , OPTM , FNSR , CSCO , MET  

Denny's (DENN Quote) has a high debt situation, which Cramer said he likes because this enables it to refinance at better rates. However, he advised people to wait on buying this stock, even though he likes it.

Wait on Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG Quote) to report as well and then buy it after next week, Cramer continued.

He said his long-term view on Life Time Fitness (LTM Quote) is still the same, and he believes people should buy it.

Buy Baidu (BIDU Quote) lower after it reports Wednesday, Cramer said. And buy a little Psychiatric Solutions (PSYS Quote) ahead of when it reports Thursday as it should have a nice jump, he said.

Ring the register before Masco (MAS Quote) reports, because its quarter will not be good enough, Cramer said. In addition, take a little KB Home (KBH Quote) off the table before it reports and then go back into it after it reports, Cramer said.

Get in Daktronics (DAKT Quote) ahead of and after it reports.

Lastly, keep an eye on Reliance Steel (RS Quote), Cramer said, adding that he expects some profit-taking in the stock. If people own it, they should consider ringing the register.

Mad Mail

In the "Mad Mail" segment, Cramer told a viewer that MasterCard (MA Quote), under $100, is a gift. The stock closed at $103.60 on Friday.

However, because MasterCard was up 129% last year, he feels people shouldn't be too greedy with it.

When a mailer asked why Cramer likes Procter & Gamble's (PG Quote) CEO A.G. Lafley so much, Cramer said Lafley is a man that "has taken a good company and made it great."

Cramer said Lafley is delivering, and he believes that Procter & Gamble is a nice stock to buy and put away.

Lightning Round

Cramer was bullish on Disney (DIS Quote), Nike (NKE Quote), Under Armour (UA Quote), Safeway (SWY Quote), Caremark (CMX Quote), Express Scripts (ESRX Quote), RBC Bearings (ROLL Quote), Amerisafe (AMSF Quote), Avis Budget (CAR Quote), AutoNation (AN Quote), IAC Interactive (IACI Quote), Harley-Davidson (HOG Quote), Home Inns & Hotels (HMIN Quote) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE Quote).

Cramer was bearish on Finish Line (FINL Quote) and Whole Foods (WFMI Quote).
