Street - Cramer, Joy Global (JOYG), I think the stock is so dirt cheap I'm going to continue to pound the table and tell people to buy it. Freeport-McMoRan (FCX). What's not to like? I still like FCX. It's almost doubled since they cut their dividend. Accenture (ACN). At $30 I think it's a terrific company. Sealed Air (SEE). I'm seeing a lot of pressure for the packaging companies. This is a well-run company, so I'll go with it. I think it's probably oversold. Waste Management (WMI). Let's buy some WMI. Their CEO has been on our show many times and he delivers value to his shareholders. Buy Wal-Mart(WMT).
Week Summary - I like Cerner(CERN) they seem to be a leader in the medical information technology, consider buying at 40. Google(GOOG) look for pullback to 320, has been bouncing off below 300. (BP) and (COP) I'd consider at 35 and 38-39. Nustar(NS) looks good, now at 46, see if it dips back near 42. Pepsi(PEP) try to get on a pullback to 51. Wal-Mart(WMT) try to get on a dip to 25. Windstream(WIN) has a great yeild at 12%, look for a dip back to 7 or 8. Consider (ED) or (D) at 36 and 30. Oil service sector such as Transocean(RIG) which has the best analyst rating with 18 strong buys, and (FMC) with 4 strong buys and a good rating. Watch Gold prices, for (AEM) and (GLD).

Street - Upgrades, Devon Energy(DVN)$72, Foster Wheeler(FWLT)$23, King Pharmaceuticals(KG)$10, Palm(PALM)$12, Nike(NKE), Oracle(ORCL)$20, Staples(SPLS)$21, Skyworks(SWKS)$10, United Technologies(UTX)$47, China Fire & Security Group(CFSG), RehabCare(RHB). Fast Money - Financial stocks such as Morgan Stanley (MS), Goldman Sachs (GS) and Northern Trust (NTRS). Designated biotech hedge funds will be taking their money out of Genentech and setting their sights on other companies like Celgene(CELG), Amgen (AMGN)and Gilead(GILD). Like the refiners and drillers like Fluor(FLR) and McDermott International(MDR). Final trades Millicom International Cellular(MICC) and Transocean(RIG). Top 5 small-caps - NCI(NCIT), American Physicians Capital(ACAP), NVE(NVEC), Applied Signal Technology(APSG), Emergency Medical Services(EMS). Mad Money - Terra Nitrogen, Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM) or Eldorado Gold (EGO), Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ).
TheStockAdvisors - Isis Pharmaceuticals(ISIS), a biotech stock involved in developing drugs for cancer, multiple sclerosis and diabetes. Isis is loaded with cash and the company expects to end 2009 with more than $550 million in cash, equal to 50% of its current market cap. Additionally, the company will aggressively grow its pipeline by adding three to five new drugs per year, and advancing the drugs currently in its pipeline. ISIS is a buy under $15. ArcelorMittal(MT) the world's largest steel maker, is one of the best-positioned to benefit from rising demand from emerging markets. The stock trades at less than five times analysts' lowered estimates for 2009 per-share earnings, management has also said its 2009 dividend would be $0.64, for an expected yield of 3.6%. Gold - Will show strength if it stays above its 65-week moving average now at $875 from 2003 to 2007. Of course, if gold reaches a record high, it would be super strong. Jumping ahead, in a bull market gold always stays higher than its prior low. This means that during weakness gold should stay above $705, last November’s low, in order to stay bullish. In a worst case, the previous low in June 2007 would be the absolute low point for a bull market to stay active, at $645. Silver - It’s now overbought for the time being. Silver had an impressive rise, but it remains below its 65-week moving average and, therefore, it’s vulnerable below $14.60. It could decline to $11.70 but it would still be firm. Once weakness is over, it will be time to buy silver again because the long-term leading indicator shows that a major low is forming. It’s now important to see if gold will form an eight year cyclical low by the summer time. But one thing is certain, be prepared to buy more gold, silver and their shares when upcoming weakness is about over. Otherwise, keep the positions you have, such as our recommended holdings in SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), iShares Comex Gold (IAU) and iShares Silver Trust (SLV).
