Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Next Week's Game Plan (Final)

Mad Mail

Cramer followed up on some stocks that stumped him recently. He was bullish on Optimer Pharmaceuticals (OPTR) as a speculative play but was bearish on KIT Digital (KITD) and Guidewire (GWRE), advising investors to sell now.

Cramer said that he's not a buyer of C&J Services (CJES), and prefers Core Labs (CLB) and Schlumberger (SLB), both of which have less natural gas exposure.

Cramer said there's no rush to Massimo (MASI) and would wait for a pullback. He also noted that Ziopharm Oncology (ZIOP) is like playing FDA roulette and is not for the faint of heart.

When asked about Nvidia (NVDA), Cramer said he would hold onto it, while admitting the stock is a "wide ride." Cramer said he's not a buyer of Nuance Communications (NUAN).

Lightning Round

Cramer was bullish on Danaher (DHR), DSW (DSW), Ross Stores (ROST), TJX Companies (TJX), Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) and Timken (TKR).

Cramer was bearish on Trina Solar (TSL), Zoltek (ZOLT) and Affymax (AFFY).

Closing Comments

In his "No Huddle Offense" segment, Cramer sounded off against his critics that charge he's been too bullish on the markets.

Cramer reminded his critics that you need to be in stocks in order to make money from them and sometimes that means being invested when the market has off days. To be sure, investors lose a little money today in JC Penney (JCP) and Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG), but what's a few dollars after a huge run? Cramer said that no one is good enough to buy stocks on every up day and sell them on every down one.

Cramer also clarified his position on Apple (APPL), an Action Alerts PLUS holding. He said that yes, Apple is less of a company without founder and visionary Steve Jobs, but that doesn't mean its not still a great company and great stock to own. He said the company's chart says it all.

"You can sell stocks ay any time," Cramer reminded viewers, "even the ones I recommend."
