Jim Cramer's Mad Money
Episode Recaps
04/26/06
Corn Fed: Making Money off of Ethanol
The lead segment for today's show
was "Corn Fed: Making Money off of Ethanol". The
President has been on the ethanol bandwagon now for some time.
Currently, more ethanol means more corn. In order to grow more
corn, more agricultural equipment is needed. The big players
have already been played, that's why Jim is suggesting AGCO
Corp. (AG)
and Gehl Co
(GEHL).
Right now, this is the way to make money off of ethanol.

Class in Session: Michigan
The lead segment for today's show
was "Class In Session: Michigan". The
shoe bull market is still going. That's why Jim thinks you
should buy Wolverine
World Wide Inc. (WWW).
They have some good products and they just had a great quarter.
Thus, there will probably be a pullback and this will be your
opportunity to buy. (More)

Cramer's Big 10 U.S. Manufacturers (Replay)
The lead segment for today's show was "Cramer's Big
10: U.S. Manufacturers". Google

04/21/06
Sub Stance
The lead segment for today's show
was "Sub Stance: How to Profit from the Chinese Defense
Build Up". The Chinese
are building up their submarine program and soon their sub
numbers could outnumber the U.S.. That's why Jim is suggesting General
Dynamics Corp. (GD)
because they make submarine killers. This is the way to make
money off of the Chinese defense buildup. (More)
04/20/06
Getting Lucky
The lead segment for today's show
was "Getting Lucky: Making Money off of the Lottery".
Several European local
governments have hired Scientific
Games (SGMS)

was just added to the S & P Mid Cap 400, which is always
extremely good according to Jim's analytics. (More)
04/19/06
Playing Favorites
The lead segment for today's show
was "Playing Favorites: Making Money off of the Halliburton
Split". Jim has always liked King Hal and
he even mentioned it when he was on the Jay Leno Show. Now that
Halliburton is going to split into two companies, Jim thinks Halliburton
Co. (HAL)
is a huge buy. Jim says he's done the homework and you can just
buy on his word. (More)
04/18/06
Jet Set
The lead segment for today's show
was "Jet Set: Making Money off of the Airlines".
Cramer hates the airline industry,
especially with oil prices above $70.00. Still,
Jim thinks there is a play in airlines, but it is not in the
U.S.. Thus, Jim suggests GOL
LINHAS AEREAS INTELIGENTES (GOL)
because the competition against this company is being wiped out,
and they will be the only airline left standing in South
America. (More)
04/17/06
Maximum Minerals (Replay)
The lead segment for today's show
was "Maximum Minerals: Making Money of the Bull Market of
Mineral Extraction".Today, Jim wants to take a broad
look at the market by looking at a trend, the bull market in
mineral extraction. Much of the interest in this bull market
comes from America, but the real boom is in BRIC (Brazil, Russian,
India, and China) companies. This bull market is really being
driven by BRIC. (More)
04/10/06
Rigging the Odds
The lead segment for today's show
was "Rigging the Odds: Making money off of the shortage in
oil rigs." High oil
prices have renewed interest in Indonesian oil field
exploration. The problem; however, is a lack of oil rigs. That's
why Jim loves National
Oilwell Varco Inc. (NOV).
This is the best way to invest in high oil prices. This stock,
Jim believes is worth at least $77 and at $66, then back up the
truck. (More)
04/07/06
Flower Power
The lead segment for today's show
was "Flower Power: 1-800-Flowers.com Inc." 1-800-Flowers.com Inc.

Brush Hour
The lead segment for today's show
was "Brush Hour: Making Money off of Beryllium".
Jim says the next titanium is
beryllium and that is why you should buy Brush
Engineered Materials, Inc. (BW)
because they have the only major mine for Beryllium. This is a
good telco and computer parts company, but it's the aerospace
and defense play that makes Brush hot. (More)
04/04/06
Smart Drink
The lead segment for today's show
was "Smart Drink: Making Money off of Energy Drinks".
National Beverage Crop (FIZ)
is the next Hansen's according to Jim. Cramer thinks this is a
huge growth story because of the energy drink "Rip
It". This is an energy drink investment because energy
drinks are hot right now. Why "Rip It"? Because it has
immense growth potential. Use limit orders and do not pay more
than $12.00. (More)
04/03/06
Topps of the Heap
The lead segment for today's show
was "Topps of the Heap: Making money off of baseball".
Topps
Co Inc. (TOPP)
is a nice buy to start off the baseball season. This stock is
very cheap right now and any catalyst could lead to Mad Money.
With an excellent balance sheet, the downside is very limited,
but the upside holds great potential states Jim. (More)
03/31/06
Drill Instructor
The lead segment for today's show
was "Drill Instructor: Making Money off of Oil Drillers".
Seitel
Inc. (SELA.OB) is a bulletin board stock, which

huge in China. (More)

sustained, gradual growth for companies added the S&P Mid
Cap, plus this is a solid company. (More)
03/28/06
Bringing Home the Bacon
The lead segment for today's show
was "Bringing Home the Bacon: Making Money off of Bird Flu".
There should be some good pin action
off of bird flu once it hits American poultry, which is why Jim
thinks you should buy SmithField
Foods Inc. (SFD),
a great pork company. (More)
03/27/06
Cream of the Crop
The lead segment for today's show
was "Cream of the Crop: Making Money off of Ethanol".
Right now ethanol is getting lots of
hype and some big money is getting poured into the bull market
in ethanol. That's why Jim likes Andersons
Inc (ANDE).
This stock is risky due to low volume, so USE LIMIT ORDERS.
Anderson operates grain elevators, which will be in high demand
as ethanol gets bigger. Additionally, ANDE is building a a huge
ethanol plant, and they have a great rail business. (More)
03/24/06

America and the next great medical device for treating diabetes

system that should make DXCM the next big thing in diabetes
care. (More)
03/23/06
Fishin' For Chips
The lead segment for today's show
was "Fishin' For Chips". Jim says it's hard to make money
off of technology, at least it isn't as easy as it used to be.
Still, there are great opportunities and that is why Jim wants
you to buy Sirf
Technology Holdings (SIRF),
which is a GPS technology leader. The market for GPS technology is
huge and Jim thinks this is a great GPS technology stock.
(More)
03/22/06
A Juicy Store
The lead segment for today's show
was "A Juicy Story". Services
Acquisition Corp. International (SVI)

Know Your IPO
The lead segment for today's show
was "Know Your IPO". Jim thinks the Tim
Hortons (THI) IPO will be hot and Jim thinks you
should buy. Jim says you can always judge an IPO by its road
show. The headcount at the road show for this IPO was huge. (More)

Takeover Talk
The lead segment for today's show
was "Takeover Talk: Making Money off of Acquisitions".
O.K., so you heard L'Oreal bought

other takeovers might follow? (More)

Clearing the Air
The lead segment for today's show
was "Clearing the Air: Understanding the sentiment behind a
tainted stock". Jim says
you have to understand the sentiment behind hated stocks to
truly understand a stock. One
such stock, which Jim thinks you should buy is Brocade
Communications Systems (BRCD).
This company's stock lost over a $100.00 in value per share and
people hate it for this reason. But this company is about to
report good numbers in May, according to Jim. Because of the
bull market in network storage, BRCD is going to do well. They
are strong in network switches and other network storage device
technology, which makes BRCD a great network storage stock play.
(More)
03/15/06
Patriot Profits
The lead segment for today's show
was "Patriot Profits:"So, how can we make money off of
the Patriot Act? Nice
Systems (NICE)

services. (More)
03/14/06
First Anniversary Show
The lead segment for today's show
was "The First Anniversary Show". Today

first two segments were mostly highlights from past
shows, etc, plus a few call-ins before the Lighting Round.
(More)
03/13/06
High in Fiber
The lead segment for today's show
was "High in Fiber". Jim
thinks there is a bull market in optical communications and
wants you to buy Avanex
Corp. (AVNX).
AVNX is another two dollar, cheap fiber optic network stock.
So why is AVNX a winner? Because
carriers are spending lots of money on new optical networks to
compete with cable companies, the companies that make components
for fiber optic networks will make a lot of money. That's where
AVNX comes in. This fiber
optic bull market should follow an 18 month cycle. When this
cycle is over, the Avanex trade is over. (More)
03/10/06
Stocks on Sale
The lead segment for today's show
was "Stocks on Sale". Jim
is going to be thematic, focusing on when a stock pulls back and
becomes an opportunity to back the truck up. Jim wants to teach
us how to trade these kinds of stocks. Other
than today, the market took a hit this week. Now is the time to
separate winners from losers. Jim says the way tell the
difference is by finding companies that reported great numbers
their last quarter, shot up, but dropped because the whole
market was down. Jim has 3 such stocks. (More)
03/09/06
Getting Defensive
The lead segment for today's show
was "Getting Defensive: Making money off of port and
homeland security". If
you want a good port security stock, OSI
Systems Inc. (OSIS)
is it. This is a small company with great technology to help
make our ports safe, in addition they have a nice health care
business they acquired from antitrust litigation. OSIS's
Rapiscan products are used to scan cargo, people, baggage, etc.
and OSIS has some new security scanning products in the works.
(More)
03/08/06
It's a Steal
The lead segment for today's show
was "It's a steal: Making money off of identity theft".
Identity theft is a growing problem
and a great way to make money off of this problem is Intersections
Inc. (INTX).
INTX creates software for protecting and monitoring ID theft.
Intersection can help those who have suffered ID theft resolve
this issue much faster. While this company did screw up a few
months ago, according to Cramer, by totally missing their
numbers; however, the last quarter was a great quarter for INTX.
Plus, there are no analysts following this stock, which has left
this company completely off of the radar. Don't buy after this
identity theft stock after hours Jim warns, you WILL GET RIPPED
OFF. So, use limit orders. (More)
03/07/06
Infrared Cameras
The lead segment for today's show
was "Seeing Red: Infrared Cameras and Security Devices".
We live in the era of Security and
Surveillance and FLIR
Systems (FLIR)
is going to win a lot of the money from the government's
security and surveillance programs. They make some great
infrared and thermal imaging devices, such as cameras and
scanners, in addition to night vision and infrared signature
detection equipment. Additionally, Jim thinks FLIR could also
benefit greatly from the Dubai Ports deal, which Jim believes
will ultimately occur. (More)
03/06/06
Under the Radar
The lead segment for today's show
was "Under the Radar: Making money off of the shortage of
radiologists in America". Jim
likes orphaned stocks, stocks which analysts stop following,
because they can make you a lot of money. One such stock is Nighthawk
Radiology, (NWHK).
There are simply no analysts covering this stock. Nighthawk
services nighttime radiology services for about 13% of American
hospitals. This service is much cheaper than keeping a
radiologist around during off-peak hours. Since there is a
shortage of radiologists in America, 13% is nowhere near
saturation - Jim believes - there could be a lot of accelerated
revenue growth for this company. (More)
03/03/06
Go With the I-Flow
The lead segment for today's show
was "Go With the I-Flow". I-Flow
Group (IFLO)
is a company that has a great concept. Two weeks ago Jim thought
this was a great medical device company with great products, but
the stock was too high. Well, the company missed their quarter
and the stock price has dropped. This panic selling is your
opportunity to buy (More)
03/02/06
Number One With a Ballot
The lead segment for today's show
was "Number One With a Ballot". Cramer
suggests reading the front page of the New York Times, not just
the business section. The front page of the Times ran a story
about how the Feds are suing New York for not upgrading their
voting machines. Cramer thinks that only Diebold,
Inc. (DBD)
can solve this problem and this problem isn't only a problem for
New York, but many other states. This is long term
investment story. (More)
03/01/06
The Rite Stuff
The lead segment for today's show
was "The Rite Stuff". Rite
Aid Corp. (RAD)
is not Best of Breed, not even close. So, Jim is breaking his
rules by suggesting this company. Nonetheless, because of the
bull market in pharmacies, Jim is suggesting Rite Aid, because
it can make you money. Goldman Sachs gave RAD an outperform.
Additionally, Medicare Part D, generic drugs, etc. pharmacies
are going to win big. Rite Aid is cheap and finally has positive
same store sales growth and this could spur growth. (More)
02/28/06
Buzz Worthy
The lead segment for today's show was "Buzz Worthy: Using
Trade Magazines such as PR Week to Make Money". Jim
is suggesting PR Week, and trade magazines in general, as ways
to gain intel for investment opportunities. In PR Week Jim found
an interesting article on how small biotechs should use
strategic partnerships to gain exposure. (More)

Get the Lead Out
The lead segment for today's show
was "Get the Lead Out: Sherwin Williams Co - Making Money
off of Bogus lawsuits".Bogus lawsuits can put terrific
companies on sale. This is what happened to Sherwin-Williams
Co. (SHW).
This is a best of breed company. Jim says this lead paint
lawsuit probably won't stand up, and if it does it won't cost as
much as some think. Panic selling is driving this sell-off and
that's why Jim thinks you should buy this company tomorrow
morning. (More)
02/24/06

and financials, plus this company offers a 4 1/2% dividend.

02/15/06
If the shoe fits
The lead segment for today's show
was "If the shoe fits: Crocs, Inc.". Jim
says buy Crocs,
Inc. (CROX),
which just went public last week. This is a hot company right
now, but the stock isn't living up to the hype. Jim thinks this
stock is simply suffering from the horrible week the market
suffered last week. Eventually, Jim believes, this stock will
trade at $35.00. (MORE)
02/14/06
Tools of the Trade
The lead segment for today's show
was "Tools of the Trade: Making Money off of Drug
Development". Caliper
Life Sciences, Inc. (CALP)

stock to buy in small increments over the next few months. (MORE)

Fat of the Land
The lead segment for today's show
was "Fat of the Land: Cashing in on obesity".The best

02/10/06
Dialysis Dollars
The lead segment for today's show
was "Dialysis Dollars". The new Medicare plan is big for
dialysis players. That's why Jim is picking Fresenius
Medical (FME.GR). Again buy this directly off of the
German exchange. Because the government is paying more for
dialysis, this company could win big. (MORE)

since 1999. Axsys makes thermal imaging devices. (MORE)

Up and Atom: Making Money off of Nuclear Power
The lead segment for today's show
was "Up and Atom: Making Money off of Nuclear Power".
Because there is a global
resurgence in nuclear power, Jim thinks you should buy Areva (CEI.FP).
Once again, skip the pink sheets and buy off of the Paris
exchange. Earnings are expected to rise 20% this year for Areva,
a leader in MOX, the feed for most nuclear reactors. MOX
production should up significantly for Areva this year to meet
growing French demand and world demand. (MORE)

Corp (LIFC)

skin for replacing damaged skin, which should have a huge effect
on earnings. Life cell expects about 33% sales growth per year,
which Jim thinks is incredible, but might even be conservative.
