Jim Cramer's Stop Trading! Buy ADM

Stock quotes in this article: MON , ADM , FRE , FNM , DCX , GS , CIT , MBI  

Buy Archer Daniels Midland (ADM Quote), Jim Cramer said Tuesday on CNBC's "Stop Trading!" segment.

Cramer said a Citi upgrade of Monsanto (MON Quote) was a good call, as "the ag business is huge." But Cramer said Archer Daniels is an even better play, given its clout in Congress.

Cramer said Fannie (FNM Quote) and Freddie (FRE Quote) also look like good bets right now, particularly if you expect Democrats to "storm the winter palace," or take the White House, in 2008. Cramer said Democratic control of Washington makes these government-sponsored lenders "pantheons of payoffs," which leads to "fat and happy" stock prices.

Cramer expects there to be lots of bids for DaimlerChrysler's (DCX Quote) Chrysler unit, including perhaps one from "lone wolf" Goldman (GS Quote).

Cramer also likes recent upgrades of financial sector players CIT (CIT Quote) and MBIA (MBI Quote), both of which were up 3% Tuesday. But Cramer reserved his strongest praise for Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, whom he called "the one guy with credibility in this whole world."
