"Be careful," Jim Cramer warned viewers on Wednesday's "Stop Trading!" on CNBC. "You need a direct hit in order to take out the Gulf."
Cramer said he's wary about making a trade in the natural gas and oil company group on the belief that Tropical Storm Gustav will hit the Gulf Coast, because if it doesn't hit, oil could be down by $8 to $9 by Tuesday. "I like the group," he said, but it's getting overheated on weather reports. Addressing a recent story in The Wall Street Journal declaring that the infrastructure trade is done, Cramer said: "If the party's really over, then why is Fluor (FLR Quote)up so big?" He said Shaw Group (SGR Quote) and Foster Wheeler(FWLT Quote), which he owns for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust, are also up. Next, Cramer said that he wants to know the Treasury source that Barron's used in the article that contributed to the 50% fall in share prices for Freddie Mac (FRE Quote) and Fannie Mae (FNM Quote), which have been climbing ever since. "All that's happened is that it's gotten worse for Fannie and Freddie," Cramer said, "but the stocks go up every day. Where is that Barron's source?" Finally, Cramer turned to Quanta Services (PWR Quote), which he's been buying for his charitable trust. Quanta has figured out how to address the problem of connecting wind turbines to the grid, Cramer said.- Loading Comments...
