Cramer's 'Stop Trading': Halliburton
Stock quotes in this article:HAL
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Everyone is talking about the insider trading scandal today, including Jim Cramer during CNBC's "Stop Trading" segment.
Raj Rajaratnam, partner in Galleon Management and a portfolio manager for Galleon Group, is being accused of raking in $20 million in hedge fund insider trading. But Cramer says everyone is innocent until proven guilty. "We never thought the government would care this much about insider trading," he said. If it is true, however, Cramer says Rajaratnam's career is over. When it comes to the days trade picks, Cramer called on oilfield service company Halliburton(HAL). On Friday the company posted better-than-expected third-quarter earnings and said its outlook has improved for international pricing over the next year. Cramer says based on Chesapeake Energy's(CHK) presentation earlier this week, if you are in the oil-drilling business you will have multiple years of growth. The next indicator in this sector will be Schlumberger(SLB), which reports quarterly results next Friday. Cramer says Google(GOOG) is replacing everything other then Apple(AAPL), when it comes to stocks mutual funds must own. -- Reported by Jeanine Poggi in New York Follow TheStreet.com on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook.>To order reprints of this article, click here: ReprintsTheStreet Premium Services For Personal Service: 877-471-2967
