Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Lose the Gloom and Doom
Am I Diversified?
In the "Am I Diversified?" segment, Cramer spoke with callers and responded to tweets sent via Twitter to @JimCramer to see if investors' portfolios have what it takes for today's markets.
The first portfolio included: Apple (AAPL), Caterpillar (CAT), Celgene (CELG), Gilead Sciences (GILD) and Yum Brands (YUM).
Cramer said this portfolio can't include both Celgene and Gilead. He recommended selling Celgene and adding in Ross Stores (ROST) to gain some retail exposure.
The second portfolio's top holdings included: Apple, Annaly Capital (NLY), Southern Copper (SCCO), Eli Lilly (LLY) and iShare Gold Trust (IAU). Cramer blessed this portfolio as properly diversified. The third portfolio had: Qualcomm (QCOM), Verizon (VZ), iShares Silver Trust (SLV), Whole Foods (WFM) and Hain Celestial (HAIN) as its top five stocks. Cramer recommended selling Hain in favor of a drug stock like Pfizer (PFE).No Huddle Offense
In his "No Huddle Offense" segment, Cramer said it's time to start making money in the bank stocks again. He said the revaluation of the financial sector has begun, as evidenced by the strong earnings from both Goldman Sachs (GS), a stock he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, and JPMorgan Chase (JPM). Cramer said with much of the government meddling behind them, these banks are returning most of their incremental gains directly to shareholders, which is why these stocks are buy, buy, buys right here.
