Jim Cramer Favors Eli Lilly, Calls P&G a Catch-Up Trade
TheStreet's Jim Cramer, Action Alerts PLUS portfolio manager and host of CNBC's "Mad Money," talked about Procter & Gamble's (PG) - Get Report earnings report when answering viewers questions from social media on Friday.
Cramer said P&G's CEO is leaving and the organic growth there is nil, but P&G has a good divided and the company has cut out a lot of fat. Cramer said he likes Procter only as a catch-up trade, and added that Unilever is doing much better.
A viewer wanted to know if Apple (AAPL) - Get Report can do the same as Amazon and Google when it reports earnings next week. Cramer said the bar is high, but investors should own Apple and not trade it.
One viewer asked if the decline in Skechers was an overreaction and Cramer responded he had no idea, but he will be speaking to the company tonight.
Another viewer asked which stock is best positioned for growth, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) - Get Report , Eli Lilly (LLY) - Get Report or Gilead (GILD) - Get Report . Cramer said Lilly is his favorite right now because it has both an Alzheimer's and diabetes drug. He said JNJ has risen very nicely since its last quarter and it's become a "darling" at $100. Cramer said Gilead will go higher.
One viewer said he was watching Visa and MasterCard for long-term entry and asked whether the stocks have run away from him. Cramer said they have not at these levels.
Cramer was asked his thoughts on Twitter's (TWTR) - Get Report Jack Dorsey giving away some of his shares to a fund for his employees. Cramer said, "He crushed it with this; it's going to turn around the morale." But Cramer added, "if they don't get the stock up, someone else will."
Another viewer asked about what to do with FireEye (FEYE) - Get Report , a stock he bought at $41 a share. FireEye stock has fallen in reaction to Fortinet not doing so well, according to Cramer, who still believes in the cybersecurity sector. He said let the sellers clear out in FireEye, and he'd rather buy it $32 going higher, than $29 going lower.
