Cramer's Buyout Candidates: Cramer continued to talk about buyout candidates this week. On his Tuesday show, Cramer talked about potential takeover candidate Monster Worldwide(MNST Quote).
In recent weeks, Cramer has mentioned other cheap, cash-rich companies that are buyout candidates. These Buyout Candidates include several different stocks in different sectors
, such as Denny's(DENN Quote) and Sysco(SYY Quote).
Cramer's Aristocratic Plays: On the April 11 episode of "Mad Money," Cramer mentioned that he liked another portfolio on Stockpickr called Dividend Aristocrats. Reworking singer Shakira's theory, Cramer said, "Like hips, dividends don't lie."
"Owning stocks that consistently improve their dividend allow you to earn more and more money for no reason," said Cramer, who pointed out that in terms of speculation, these weren't high fliers but that owning them will definitely help an investor in a tough economy. Cramer gave us his own Aristocratic Plays, which include Automatic Data Processing(ADP Quote) and W.W. Grainger(GWW Quote).
Cramer's Paper Tigers: Cramer came out this week praising the financial stocks. As he pointed out in a Wednesday blog post, "the re-evaluation of the financials continues. What's behind it this time? Sometimes what you have to do is look at the clients of these firms, the real clients. That's the giant funds that are on the buy side."
Cramer pointed out that these funds have a voracious appetite for product or paper. Thus, he concluded, "These Paper Tigers are all going much, much higher. They can generate the paper with private equity
or with the collapse of the established players in mortgage broking. They can mark it all up big. And they are selling at 10 times earnings." They include Goldman Sachs (GS Quote), JPMorgan(JPM Quote) and Merrill Lynch(MER Quote).
