Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Yogurt for Portfolio Health

Greenberg's Red Lights

Senior MarketWatch columnist Herb Greenberg joined Cramer to take the wind out of the sails of some hot-looking stocks.

Cramer wanted to know why Greenberg wasn't excited about Netflix(NFLX), which he said reported positive earnings numbers, lowered its costs and made money selling used DVDs.

Greenberg said that even though people are excited by the company's guidance, it didn't raise its pretax guidance. Moreover, he said that the company gave long-term guidance that he called irresponsible because it is too far out in the future.

And even though Energy Conversion Devices(ENER) seems to be doing well on solar power, Greenberg called it a "retread stock" that has nothing new to offer.

And as for Rambus(RMBS), Greenberg said analysts believe the company itself is worth $10 a share. The stock currently trades just below $35 a share.

He said that investors are speculating that Rambus will come to a settlement with Hynix Semiconductor, a Korean chipmaker against which Rambus filed a patent infringement suit. This sort of speculation, Greenberg said, is not enough to make him want the stock.

Beer's New King

Is beer really dead? Not if you're InBev, a brewing stock that has to be bought in Belgium, Cramer said.

InBev is the new king of beers, Cramer said, posting good growth in a world that isn't supposed to like beer anymore.

The company's brands include Stella Artois, Beck's and Bass, and the company has made a killing by not being the king of beers in the U.S., he said.

Instead, Cramer said that InBev is taking market share in the Ukraine, Russia, Korea and South America. The company sees that there's not much growth left for beer in the West, so it's expanding its horizons even into the Chinese market, he added.

Cramer was bullish on American Express(AXP), Genesis Microchip(GNSS), Diamond Offshore(DO), BHP Billiton(BHP), Rio Tinto(RTP), TrustCo Bank(TRST), Accredited Home Lenders(LEND), NeoPharm(NEOL), Amgen(AMGN), EOG Resources(EOG), Mine Safety Appliances(MSA) and Palm(PALM).
