Cramer also pointed to eight worst of breed stocks that could work under the right conditions. They are:
Rite Aid
(RAD) - Get Rite Aid Corporation Report
. If we ever catch a flu outbreak -- along the lines of a pandemic -- this stock is for you.
Ditto
Tenet Healthcare
(THC) - Get Tenet Healthcare Corporation Report
. If enough people get sick, even this stock could do well.
Doral Financial
(DRL)
. If the
Federal Reserve
ever stops raising rates, even this lowly Puerto Rican bank could make you some money.
Agco
(AG) - Get First Majestic Silver Corp. Report
. When the cycle is strong, even these guys can't be denied, Cramer said.
AK Steel Holding
(AKS) - Get AK Steel Holding Corporation Report
. The worst of the steel stocks, Cramer said, even move higher when steel spikes up.
Southern Peru Copper
( PCU). Cramer called this stock the worst of breed writ large. But even these guys can make money when copper is at astronomical levels.
Alon USA
(ALJ)
. Totally cheap, Cramer said. And even it works when the refinery cycle is on fire.
Parker Drilling
(PKD) - Get Parker Drilling Company Report
. It must be some environment for rigs, Cramer said. Even this one goes up.
Cramer's point in looking at these worst-of-breed stocks is that some times it makes sense to own certain stocks in certain situations. Even the worst-of-breed stocks have their days. But these are stocks that are only for a trade. When the cycle is hot, even the worst of breeds can catch a bid.
At the time of publication, Cramer was long Intel and Motorola.
