What is your take on Corning (GLW) - Get Report?-- Stephen from Queens
James J. Cramer:
I believe Corning is a great buy ahead of the holiday season, when LCD television sales are likely to be very strong. Trading at 24 times earnings, Corning is a bit pricey, but the company fits right in with my product cycle tech thesis. I believe it probably doesn't have much downside from here.
Jim, do you like Gap (GPS) - Get Report?-- Peter from Arkansas
James J. Cramer:
With 3,000 stores, I believe Gap is a mature company with limited opportunity for growth. The hip young adults who drive trends don't shop there anymore. Over the long-term, I believe shares of younger, hipper retailers with room to grow like
Urban Outfitters
(URBN) - Get Report
will outperform Gap.
