OIS

Mad Mail

Oil States International Inc. (OIS)

Q:    Hi Cramer, You remind me of my best professors from college, a mix of education with entertainment, to keep us focused. I wish more teachers would take your approach. You encourage viewers to ask about what they feel are 'new tech" stocks. Well, here are two companies that I really like, Oil States International Inc. (OIS) and Gulf Island Fabrication Inc. (GIFI). I think they will only grow as the global demand for "new tech" drilling increases.

JJC:
    You're right... Remember my words of caution last Wednesday... Oil and gas got too overheated, it's in retreat... When I say the all-clear, and oil and gas is done going down... Then I will give you the signal, and then you can start thinking about buying these... Not until then, keep doing the homework until then.

F5 Networks Inc. (FFIV)

Q:    Jim, Booyah from West Point, New York. What's the deal with data networking plays? I really like F5 Networks (FFIV). It's financial health is outstanding and it seems to have the best-of-breed products. But how do you think they stack up against emerging rivals, like Blue Coat Systems Inc. (BCSI)?

JJC:
    Alright, here's the problem... Cisco (
CSCO) is telling people that maybe things are tougher... Now, you could say they only told UBS, but that whole group is dependent on Cisco, the biggest networker doing well... If Cisco is not doing well, and the stock is at a 52-week low, you can not buy F5.

General Comments

Q:    Jim, I was at the taping, and I just wanted to say that you did a great on the American Dream show. Most of the people I know don't have any confidence in or knowledge in the market. I'm hoping as many viewers as possible have a change of perception and develop hope as I did. Thanks to all of your efforts.

JJC:
    Thank you very much. It's Sunday on NBC at 7 pm... It's not about individual stocks... It's about how to get started... It's about not getting poor... It's about how to be able to start saving for retirement... And I want to emphasize, it certainly is not about how horrible the market is... It's about taking advantage of the negativity and still believing in the American Dream, which I do, even after days like today.


TTM

Mad Mail

Tata Motors Ltd. (TTM)

Q:    Dr. Cramer, About TTM... I appreciate your advice on staying away from the auto industry, but TTM's new auto technology that runs on compressed air (now that's a renewable resource) is pretty intriguing. The car is so ugly, it's cute, the same comment I received when I purchased my first VW Bug back in the early 60's.

JJC:
    Think about it... VW didn't make you any money, it just happened to be a good car... TTM may have a great car, no matter how hideous it is... But I have stayed away from the Indian market now all year, as I have had the Chinese... Those markets are in rapid retreat... I don't want you to buy TTM.
