Great American Companies – Cramer’s Lightning Round (7/21/08)

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV program, Monday, July 21.

Bullish Calls: 

 Windstream (WIN) -- “I love a good dividend.”

AT&T (T) -- “I like it between $30 and $32.”

Verizon (VZ) -- “I like Verizon too.”

3M (MMM) -- “Pull the trigger. Put in 25 here and another 25 at $65. I am astonished the stock is down $30.”

Honeywell (HON) -- “This is a great American Company like United Technologies (UTX), Parker Hannifin (PH), and Eaton (ETN). They will be back. They are well run, have great balance sheets and have great dividends.”

Otter Tail (OTTR) -- “An amazing stock. Why? Wind is rolling out.”

Timken (TKR) -- “This company had a better than expected quarter because of wind.

Nexen (NXY) -- “There has been a major overreaction in natural gas. The stock is too cheap here not to buy but as they go up take profits.

Bearish Calls:

Oshkosh (OSK) -- “This company had such a bad quarter. I have to believe we can pull the trigger but not until the end of this year.”

Apple (AAPL) -- “Sell, even though they had a decent quarter. I am not buying tech. Not Texas Instruments (TXN) or Sandisk (SNDK).”

Otter Tail (OTTR) -- “An amazing stock. Why? Wind is rolling out. It is not time to buy though. Don’t be a money hog. Take profits now.”
