Mad Money Recap

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Cool Runnings

 

Am I Diversified?

Cramer's Callers

The first caller to ask whether his portfolio was diversified owned UnitedHealth Group(UNH), Caterpillar(CAT), Sears Holdings(SHLD), Altria(MO) and Boeing(BA). Cramer owns Sears, UNH and Altria for his charitable trust Action Alerts PLUS.

Cramer said that the caller's portfolio was indeed diversified and liked the stocks as well.

"I think that Altria will split into three," Cramer said, and would provide a 20% premium from the current price of $79.

The next caller owned Clorox(CLX), Chevron(CVX), Hershey Foods(HSY), Walgreen(WAG), Johnson & Johnson(JJ) and Bank of America(BAC)

Cramer was not impressed. "This is a portfolio too overloaded with staples," he said. "I would sell Clorox."

"I worry too much that when the Fed is done tightening, that this portfolio is going to do nothing," he said.

"When Hershey gets to $60, back out of it," he said. "Add in General Dynamics(GD) or Textron.
