Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Finding Sustenance

Cramer and Greenberg also tangled over another stock, Johnson Controls (JCI). "What's the story there? How could you not love that quarter?" asked Cramer.

Greenberg said Johnson Controls is very hard to analyze, and it is still mostly a cyclical, highly-levered auto-parts company. He said even York International (YRK), which is being acquired by Johnson Controls, mentioned recently "how cyclical part of its business is. JCI may rise or fall based on just because it is so hard to get your arms around. That to me is a huge red flag."

Cramer said he believes JCI is better than rivals Delphi (DPHIQ) or Dana (DCN) because "by making it difficult to understand, [it] has lost that Detroit component that's been dragging it down."

Finally, Cramer asked Greenberg about Amylin Pharmaceuticals (AMLN). Greenberg was bullish on Amylin recently when the stock was at $39, said Cramer. Cramer had advised people to "ring the register." The stock closed at $33.52 Friday.

"Jim, you were right on JCI. I will be right on Amylin, and in the end, I will be right on JCI," said Greenberg.

Quelling Qualcomm Fears

Cramer would be buying Qualcomm (QCOM) after the stock dropped 4.6% Friday on news some of its customers and competitors were suing for allegedly charging too much money for licenses to use its technology. Cramer said Qualcomm's stock didn't deserve to be down as much as it was.

Cramer believes investors sold the stock out of fear Qualcomm could wind up like Research In Motion (RIMM), which faces a real risk of losing its patents as a result of lawsuits, said Cramer. But Qualcomm's situation is nothing like Research In Motion's, he said.

Cramer believes the odds are good Qualcomm will prevail. Even if it doesn't, the worst-case scenario for Qualcomm, he said, is that Qualcomm might have to charge less for its technology licenses and pay damages, he said. It is not in danger of losing its patents, he said.
