Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Red Zone Defensive Plays

Invest in Comcast's Spending

Cramer welcomed Comcast (CMCSA Quote) CEO Brian Roberts to the show and asked if people are right to think that Comcast upped its capital expenditure in response to increased competition from Verizon (VZ Quote).

"We upped our spending because people are buying our new products in record numbers," Roberts said. "We're selling 50,000 phone subscriptions a week."

"Because we're going to sell 30% more new products than we did last year, it costs some money," the CEO continued.

Cramer asked if Comcast's big capital expenditure spree will keep the company from buying back stock. Roberts said he does not expect any change in the company's plan to continue to repurchase shares.

"We have bought back almost 10% of stock in the last two-and-a-half years, and we're going to continue buying back stock," Roberts said.

Cramer advised viewers to pull the trigger on Comcast and called Roberts "money in the bank."
