This past week, Jim Cramer was focused on the market's strength and what it meant to longs and to those who unfortunately have been short.
Despite this big move up, Jim still sees certain areas of the market where there are very good, cheap stocks. He talked about fear and tight supply being reasons behind the market's direction, but said that any way you see it, now is time to "bow to the breakout." He also discussed private-equity targets, the strength in grocery chains, and steel plays. With the markets at all-time highs, Cramer again offered us his take on how to properly navigate them. Here are some the highlights from Jim over the last week (aggregated from "Mad Money," "Stop Trading!" and his articles). Cramer's Private-Equity Plays: On the April 23 "Mad Money" show, Cramer pointed out that private-equity firms are making "crateloads of money." So Cramer figured it was time other people got in on the action. He said the challenge is for investors to figure out what the private-equity folks are going to buy tomorrow. With that in mind, along with some help from a Goldman Sachs report on private-equity targets, he gave us his Private-Equity Plays. His picks include AmeriGas Partners (APU Quote) and Darden Restaurants (DRI Quote). Cramer's Bullish Plays: On the April 24 "Mad Money" show, Cramer came out swinging with the DJIA over 13,000 calling for a "1,000-point rally" by summer's end. He believes this is a conservative forecast and that retail has not even been in the market yet. He went back to one of his favorite themes, pointing out that buybacks are eating up supply and killing shorts in the process. Making that kind of call certainly meant that Cramer was going to give us some names so we could ride with the bulls, and he didn't disappoint as he mentioned his Top Bullish Plays for us to follow, including Caterpillar (CAT Quote), Transocean (RIG Quote) and Honeywell (HON Quote). Jim also went back to two recent investment themes in recommending how to join this market move by saying we could jump on his Green Day Plays or his Benefit of the Doubt Plays. Some of these picks include Sears (SHLD Quote), Federated (FD Quote), Fuel Tech (FTEK Quote) and MEMC (WFR Quote).- Loading Comments...
