That said, here's how some of the stocks that Cramer talked about on
Thursday's "Mad Money" show
fared today.
McDonald's
(MCD) - Get Report
: Cramer praised McDonald's CEO Jim Skinner for the company's upside surprise on the top and bottom lines. He said companies with great CEOs, such as
Apple's
(AAPL) - Get Report
Steve Jobs and
Ford's
(F) - Get Report
Alan Mulally, should command higher multiples.
On Friday, McDonald's slid 7 cents to close at $59.43; Apple lost $1.26, or 0.6%, to close at $203.94; and Ford gave up 13 cents, or 1.7%, to $7.63.
Equinix
(EQIX) - Get Report
: Cramer put Equinix in his Sell Block on Thursday, saying it's time to exit the data center business while it's still good. He said that while the stock is near its 52-week high, things could turn for the worse soon. He said
Intel's
(INTC) - Get Report
announcement of its Nehalem processors could mean losses for companies such as Equinix.
Equinix closed down $1.86, or 2%, at $92.29 on Friday. Intel gave up 34 cents, or 1.7%, to $19.78.
TriQuint
(TQNT)
: Cramer issued a mea culpa for recommending TriQuint at $7.39 a share. After the company's earnings miss, it's plummeted, and Cramer regretted not having told viewers to take some profits before. However, he said TriQuint's still a buy. He'd also buy
Skyworks Solutions
(SWKS) - Get Report
and
RF Micro Devices
(RFMD)
on weakness, since TriQuint brought these stocks down as well.
On Friday, TriQuint closed up 23 cents, or 3.9%, at $6.07; Skyworks lost 15 cents, or 1.4%, to $10.99; and RF Micro gave up a penny to close at $4.07.
