Cramer's 'Stop Trading!': The Nat Gas Boom

Stock quotes in this article: APC , APA , XOM , ECA , TOL  

"This is the year of natural gas," Jim Cramer said on CNBC's "Stop Trading!" segment Tuesday.

On news that EnCana (ECA Quote) would be splitting into a natural gas firm and an integrated oil company, Cramer said several other companies might make a similar move. He pointed to Anadarko (APC Quote) and ExxonMobil (XOM Quote).

"My urging is you go over these companies," Cramer said. "They all have oil, and they've all got gas businesses." He advised against chasing the stocks higher, but said that inventory numbers could send these stocks down, creating a buying opportunity.

Cramer also discussed Toll Brothers (TOL Quote) CEO Bob Toll, who will be appearing on "Mad Money" tonight. Cramer praised Toll for always being "straight with me." He said the homebuilding CEO is "not bullish at all." Cramer said he would ask Toll why he is talking about buying more land, a move of which Cramer is skeptical.
