The lead segment for today's show
was "Cramer's Big 10: U.S. Manufacturers".
Google and Microsoft are good
companies, but manufacturers are the real money makers. Why?
BRIC (Brazil, Russian, India and China) countries need the
products America's top manufacturers make.
American manufacturing is on the
rebound. The U.S. has some of the best manufacturing companies
in the world, according to Jim. So, Jim is going to give you a
shopping list. When these companies take a dip, use it as an
opportunity to buy, Jim advises.
Don't just run out and buy all
these stocks. At no time should you own all 10. During a slow
down, you cannot own these companies.
Still, you will have to do
homework. These stocks aren't always a buy, but they will always
have their moments if you are paying attention. Always buy in
different increments on the way down.
