“Investors looking to cash in from a great stock with an accidentally high dividend yield need look no further than Waste Management (WMI), Cramer said on Monday’s “Mad Money” TV Show. Waste Management is up over 10% since Cramer’s March 18 call, and he said there is still plenty of upside left. The company is one of the few companies with double-digit earnings growth. Surprisingly, volumes have been low due to the economic slowdown, but collections are actually up by 8%. The company is also managing costs by renegotiating its land fill rates and its raising prices. Cramer told viewers that when housing comes back, Waste Management will be in a great position to prosper. He also mentioned that WMI is hunting for acquisitions to add to its bottom line. “Waste Management pays its next dividend on June 19, and investors need to own the stock by May 27 in order to collect that payment,” he said.

Jim Cramer’s Stop Trading!
Jim Cramer started Monday’s CNBC “Stop Trading!” segment by offering up some plays off of the strong quarter from Lowe’s (LOW). He explained that not all of the sections at Lowe’s were good, but he did see strength in gardening and painting. Cramer recommended Sherwin-Williams (SHW) and Scotts Miracle-Gro (SMG) for investors looking to play the strength.

Cramer’s Outrage of the Day – Nordic American Tanker
For the “Outrage of the Day” segment, Cramer put one of his viewers in the spotlight, who on last night’s show, questioned if Nordic American Tanker (NAT) was simply using its secondary offerings to meet the company’s dividend payout instead of buying new ships, which is what the company’s CEO said he’s raising the money for. Cramer said he wasn’t thrilled about the latest equity offering form NAT, but he also felt the accusation is unfair. He pointed out that since inception, NAT has issued $1.06 billion in stock to buy 16 tankers. The company has paid out $716 million in dividends and has $180 million in cash on its books. Cramer said unless an investors thinks that Nordic’s fleet is now worth less than $100 million. Join the fastest growing community of small cap investors at Stockhideout.com
