"Russia's so hard. I'm just really scared of it," said Jim Cramer on CNBC's "Stop Trading!" segment on Wednesday. "It wavers between autocracy" and an American-style market, he said, though it has potential as a "great contrarian play."
As for China, he said, "If everybody's all in China, you do want to step for a moment and say, 'Wait a minute. I'm no longer contrarian.'" He offered specific plays on Brazil, including Vale(VALE Quote) and Banco Bradesco(BBD Quote), which he said is "well behind the group and should be bought." He also recommended Chilean lithium miner Sociedad Quimica(SQM Quote) as a play on Obama's green agenda, because of the use of lithium in batteries. "I think copper's going to be a play, and lithium's going to be a play," he said. He also targeted natural gas stocks as a green play. "I think that the market is saying that green includes natural gas," he said. "Natural gas hit under $4 today, and look at these stocks. They're screamin'!" Cramer said that "lots of companies," including GE(GE Quote), are "ramping off of the weaker dollar. Today, McDonald's(MCD Quote) and Procter(PG Quote) both rose on upgrades. "I've never seen big-cap stocks operate like this on an upgrade," he said. "What a market. What a smokin' market!"- Loading Comments...
