Mad Money Recap

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Cheniere's Dear Friend

 

After-Bell Reverberations

Commenting on news after the close, Cramer said that even though Texas Instruments' (TXN) earnings were better than expected, the guidance was not what he was looking for. "Stay tuned." It's a work in progress, he said, but "under $29, you gotta buy that thing. That's ridiculous."

And Nabors Industries' (NBR) earnings "looked terrific. Refco (RFXCQ) finished selling last week. So, all the oils are now going to work, and we've got some great quarters coming."

PortalPlayer (PLAY) reported a "great quarter," but "really hurt investors" by filing to do a secondary offering. "I don't respect that at all," said Cramer. Cramer said he understands the selling in the stock, and although he is upset with management, he wouldn't want to sell because the shares are too low.

Lightning Round

Bullish

Cramer was bullish on International Business Machines (IBM), St. Joe (JOE), Nabors Industries (NBR), Headwaters (HW), Georgia Gulf (GGC), Micron Technology (MU), PetSmart (PETM), GameStop (GME), ValueClick (VCLK), Harley-Davidson (HDI), Prudential Financial (PRU), MetLife (MET), Cerner (CERN), Bank of America (BAC), IntraLase (ILSE), Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), CBOT Holdings (BOT), Sonic (SONC) and Google (GOOG).
