Mad Money Recap
Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Easy Street
Revving Up Capstone Turbine
Cramer, who has been bullish on Capstone Turbine (CPST), has found a new reason to like the stock. Cramer said Wal-Mart (WMT) is using distributed power systems containing Capstone's microturbines in an experimental store in Colorado. He believes that Wal-Mart will roll out the initiative on a wider scale as it looks for ways to save on energy costs. Even though Capstone's stock is up more than 25% since Friday, when word of the project started to trickle out, Cramer believes that Capstone is headed still higher. He said earlier this year when a company called Host America (CAFE) began installing its products in Wal-Mart on a small scale, Host's stock shot up to over $14 from about $3. Host eventually had other problems that resulted in its stock being delisted from the Nasdaq. However, Cramer said, Capstone is a legitimate company and its dealings with Wal-Mart appear to be on the up and up. No matter if the Wal-Mart deal pans out, Capstone should be fine, said Cramer. Capstone had 45% year-over-year sales growth last quarter and a 120% year-over-year increase in order backlog, he said, adding that Capstone's gross margin went from negative 75% to negative 19%, a big jump toward profitability. Be careful buying Capstone, though, as it is a small and volatile stock, said Cramer. Don't buy all at once. Buy small and if it goes down, keep buying, he said. Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) Vice President Aleks Cukic joined Cramer by telephone. Cramer asked Cukic if Intuitive Surgical's stock had moved too much vs. how the business is doing. Cukic said the company's business remains strong. Cramer asked Cukic about market saturation. Cukic said that Intuitive Surgical is targeting about 1,000 hospitals out of a potential 5,000 and that it still has a lot of untapped growth opportunities. Cramer summed up the interview by saying, "You don't get in the way of these monsters when they're rolling. This stock goes higher because they're nowhere near saturation. I think it's still two thumbs up for ISRG." (To watch the full interview with Cukic, please click here.)Lightning Round
