Jim Cramer’s Mad Money Lightning Round July 10th

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Bullish calls:
Monsanto (NYSE: MON - News): ‘I would rather see you buy a little MON at $65 bucks.’Volvo (NasdaqGS: VOLV - News): ‘I think VOLV is pretty good. At $20 bucks, I like it. It’s also got Europe going for it. They have a great engine.’Axis Capital Holdings (NYSE: AXS - News): ‘Cheap life insurance … I kind of like it. It’s a specialty play … the only financial part of the economy that doesn’t have housing risk. I’m going to bless that stock.’Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE: BAM - News): ‘ … you can buy right now - right now, even in this decline. A Canadian stock with a great management that has real estate interests and power interests… Yes! Nice call.’EMC (NYSE: EMC - News): ‘EMC probably has the most momentum of any tech name, other than my Four Horsemen (Intel, Dell, Microsoft and Cisco) … I want you buying EMC, and I like it so much, that I have to press ‘buy, buy, buy!’ Frontline (NYSE: FRO - News): ‘The 11% yield is safe. I’ve been too negative. I want to pull the trigger now … FRO, I stand corrected.’
Neutral calls:
B & G Foods (NYSE: BGF - News): ‘ … why isn’t it higher, frankly?… It’s got good solid growth … Memo to my fabulous staff… Let’s call BGF and get the Chief Executive. I want to ask him why, why it’s not up more, because I cannot opine on it, until I’ve spoken to him. Don’t buy, don’t buy.’
Bearish calls:
Texas Industries (NYSE: TXI - News): ‘ … it’s going to take it on the chin every single time you hear negative things about housing… Now, if you can’t handle that … I recommend that you swap out of it.’Potash (NYSE: POT - News): ‘ I don’t regard this stock being down $1 from its 52-week high as being the kind of weakness that wants to get me in there.’MasterCard (NYSE: MA - News): ‘Let’s wait for that little pullback, and then pull the trigger.’Emergency Medical Services (NYSE: EMS - News): ‘It sells at twice its growth rate … sell, sell, sell’Terra Nitrogen (NYSE: TNH - News): ‘ … the stock is up over 500%. Again, on a pullback, I am going to re-recommend the ag group, but this group has not corrected at all.’Published By SeekingAlpha

New Zealand may be first to open up access to Tamiflu

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

New Zealanders may be the first people in the world to buy antiviral drug, Tamiflu, without a doctor’s prescription. Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is being stockpiled by governments worldwide for use in a global influenza pandemic, with New Zealand storing more than 1.5 million doses. To date, Japan has been the only nation to use it extensively to treat annual winter flu, prescribing about 10 million courses a year. However, from this month New Zealanders will be able to buy the medicine over-the-counter from pharmacists to treat winter flu. Drug company Roche believes this to be a world first. Medicine safety authority, Medsafe, has approved the sale of Tamiflu without a GP’s prescription between May and September to make it easier for flu sufferers to take it within the required 48 hours of symptoms developing.

How about a little sharing?

Friday, March 28th, 2008

I thought today I’d share some of my favorite tips or tricks and you can leave some of your own. I thought it would be cool to see what sorta tips and hints other people use in their daily life.

Cinnamon candy like Brachs cinnamon disks work fantastic on a sore throat and don’t leave you with medicine breath. (My mom taught me that one.)

I like to buy big packs of steaks etc. and package them in meal size portions for the freezer. I pour in marinade before I put them in the freezer so that when I thaw them they are marinating at the same time.

I recently found out that a clogged gas cap on your lawn mower can make it stop running. We replaced the spark plug cleaned the air filter and nothing. We washed the gas cap and it purrs like a kitten. Who knew? Thank you internet DIY sites!

Raid ant killer spray works great for removing scuff marks from kitchen floors.

What tips do you have?
