Cramer says CSX is the best railroad company in the country.

CSX

is the best railroad company in the country, Cramer told a caller on his

"RealMoney" radio show Friday.

The company ships a lot of ethanol and coal, and Cramer said he wouldn't just hold onto it, he'd be a buyer of this "high-quality" transportation company.

Cramer said he could not advocate owning

Anadarko Petroleum

(APC) - Get Report

because although the company did the right thing by acquiring

Kerr-McGee

(KMG)

and

Western Gas

, it will take many months for the deal to close, he said.

GlaxoSmithKline

(GSK) - Get Report

is the best drug company out there, other than

Schering-Plough

( SGP), which he owns for his charitable trust,

Action Alerts PLUS, Cramer told another.

He advised sticking with Glaxo and said it is the one drug company that he believes can have an unbelievable second half without a takeover.

When a caller asked about

Cisco

(CSCO) - Get Report

Cramer said he is not a fan of this company, because it is "stalled."

He suggested swapping out of it and going into

Ciena

(CIEN) - Get Report

Tellabs

( TLAB) instead.

"You have to get out of stocks that are stuck in the mud and get into stocks that are moving," he said

UnitedHealth Group

(UNH) - Get Report

, which Cramer owns for his charitable trust,

Action Alerts PLUS, is finished going down, he said.

The company just won a big lawsuit, and in addition, Cramer believes the investigation of the company's CEO, Bill McGuire, involving options backdating will lead to nothing. Goldman Sachs, usually a big bear on health organizations, also came out this morning and said maybe they've been too negative on the sector, Cramer said. Cramer believes UnitedHealth is a buy, he said.

He advised a caller to buy

Walgreen

(WAG)

, which he called best-of-breed.

Crystallex International

( KRY) owns the largest gold mine company, but unfortunately it is located in Venezuela, where the government has held the mine up, Cramer said.

He believes the stock is speculative and recommended getting out of it when it starts moving again and hits $4 or $5 (the stock was recently at $3.11).

Cramer told a caller to swap out of

Aflac

(AFL) - Get Report

and get into

Allstate

(ALL) - Get Report

Allstate currently has the greatest plan out there and it has stopped offering insurance to coastal cities that are potential hurricane victims, he said.

Cramer's second-best insurance play is

Prudential

(PRU) - Get Report

, he said.

Although Cramer believes

Titanium Metals

is a decent company, he said

Allegheny Technologies

(ATI) - Get Report

is a better-run company and he told a caller to get into that instead.

He also told a caller to skip

Sapient

(SAPE)

and get into

Accenture

(ACN) - Get Report

When a caller inquired about

Intel

(INTC) - Get Report

, Cramer called the company "dead money", saying that whereas before engineers used to run the company, now it is run by sales people.

Advanced Micro Devices

(AMD) - Get Report

is the better company in this sector, he said. It produces faster, better and cheaper products.

Cramer said

NRG Energy

(NRG) - Get Report

is a buy. Not only is it dirt cheap, but the company just announced a multi-million dollar project, he said.

He told a caller he likes the aircraft company

AAR

(AIR) - Get Report

and wouldn't be surprised if

Boeing

(BA) - Get Report

acquired it.

And he recommended buying

Citrix

(CTXS) - Get Report

, which he owns for his charitable trust,

Action Alerts PLUS.
