Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: A Playbook for Market Insanity (Final)

Dividend Friendly

In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with David Demshur, chairman, president and CEO of Core Labs (CLB), a stock that's up 21% since Cramer last recommended it on Feb. 9.

Demshur said shareholders are important to Core Labs, which is why the company has been returning excess capital in the form of dividends, special dividends and stock buyback programs. He said while the company's dividend yield may seem small, Core Labs has been augmenting that yield with special dividends up to $1 per share over the last two years.

Turning to current event, Demshur said he sees no long-term impact on Core Labs from the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, but he does see strong growth in Iraq, as that country's new government gets back on its feet. He said his company is working on six projects in Northern Iraq currently, but will be expanding into five large projects in southern Iraq soon.

Demshur explained that using Core Labs proprietary technology, the company helps maximize the output and life span of both oil and gas fields. He said the company continues to focus on international crude development, but also assists in domestic oil and gas shale field development as well.

Cramer said that Demshur was a winner, and he continues to recommend the stock.

Undervalued Bank Stocks

"Despite the headlines, stocks still trade on future earnings," Cramer told viewers, as he continued his series of sectors delivering outstanding upside surprises. Tonight's focus, the national banks, a sector Cramer called the most undervalued out there.

Cramer said despite worries of financial reforms, and the government's attack on Goldman Sachs (GS), Cramer said the national banks are still attractive.

"Financial reforms won't kill these companies," he said as he reiterated buys on JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC) and Goldman, all three of which Cramer owns for Action Alerts Plus. He also gave a tip of the hat to Citigroup (C), a stock he believes will see $12 a share by 2012.

Of the group, Cramer said JPMorgan is perhaps his favorite. The company delivered 74 cents a share in earnings, 10 cents more than analysts were expecting. With bad loan losses down for the quarter, and the stock trading at just seven times earnings, Cramer said JPMorgan is a steal.

Cramer said Citigroup also hit the ball out of the park when it earned 12 cents a share on massive revenue growth. Cramer said Citi also saw lower credit losses. He said this quarter was proof that this international powerhouse is returning to its former glory while trading at a 19% discount to its book value.
