Cramer’s Game Plan: Buy Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

“Your game plan next week is to buy Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) on weakness on Tuesday morning,” Jim Cramer said on Friday’s “Mad Money” TV show. He told viewers that Apple analysts will likely be disappointed with the company’s earnings when they report on Monday, due to a little known problem with iPhone production that might keep numbers lower-than-expected. He said the glitch was taken care of at the end of the third-quarter, which will set up Apple for a solid fourth-quarter. Cramer advised viewers to act quickly and buy Apple on Tuesday before AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) reports on Thursday because they could follow Apple’s quarter with positive comments about the iPhone that will send Apple shares right back up. “All other data points in next week’s game plan, frankly, dwarfed by this Apple trade,” Cramer said, “and it is a trade I want you in.” For the aerospace sector, Cramer told viewers that any further Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) Dreamliner delays will knock the stock down and create a buying opportunity when they report on Wednesday. He mentioned that United Technologies Corporation (NYSE:UTX) will also report next week, and investors should use the stock as a guide for the health of the aerospace sector. For commercial real estate, Cramer said Comerica Inc. (CMA), M&T Bank (MTB) and Huntington Bancshares Inc. (HBAN) are due to report. “These companies will tell us the health of that group,” Cramer said. He also pointed out that Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), a stock he holds in his trust, is another name to keep an eye on. Cramer said buy the stock on any weakness created by the companies lack of a Q&A period on its conference call. Two more stocks that Cramer said will provide a clue to the economic recover are Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) and Nucor (NYSE:NUE). “Watch these names and learn from what’s said and the reaction of the stocks,” Cramer said. Join the fastest growing community of small cap investors at Stockhideout.com
