Jim Cramer’s Stop Trading!: POT, BHP, HD, LOW, SWK, TJX, CREE
“The bidding war for Potash Corp./Saskatchewan (USA)(NYSE:POT) may have begun,” Jim Cramer said on Tuesday’s “Stop Trading!” segment. He thinks a number of companies could come in and make offers to take out POT beside BHP Billiton Limited (ADR)(NYSE:BHP). “I don’t think this is over by a long shot,” Cramer said.
Potash made the decision to turn down the BHP’s $38.6 billion offer, saying that it didn’t represent a true valuation of the company. Cramer agreed, saying BHP is using the weak stock market to take advantage of POT’s distressed stock price.
Cramer mentioned that he thinks BHP won’t be able to take out Potash for anything less than $160 a share, or $30 a share higher from its current price.
Moving on to the housing sector, Cramer said he liked the quarter reported by Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD). He mentioned that Home Depot’s sales still deliver higher profits compared to its competitor Lowe’s Companies, Inc. (NYSE:LOW).
He told viewers to play Home Depot’s strength by going long Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (NYSE:SWK). He said he expects SWK to trade back towards its 52-week high.
Another stock he thinks will trade back towards its 52-week high is TJX Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TJX). “TJX is a very well-run company that should be bought by investors expecting only a slowdown, rather than a double dip,” Cramer said.
Finally, Cramer said he disagreed with UBS’s downgrade of Cree, Inc. (NASDAQ:CREE). He likes the stock as a play on the transition to energy-efficient lightning. “You have to buy Cree hand over fist here,” Cramer said. Get the scoop on tomorrow’s hottest trade ideas – TODAY!

Jim Cramer’s Mad Mail: NANO, NM, DRYS, DSX, DIS, AAPL, GERN
Cramer followed up on a stock that had previously stumped him during past Lightning Round, Nanometrics Incorporated (NASDAQ:NANO). Cramer said this semiconductor company is legit and is taking market share, but he can’t recommended it because its too small with a $270 million market cap. He told viewers to take advantage of the recent earnings pop and sell the stock.
Cramer told another viewer that he’d rather see investors in DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) or Diana Shipping Inc. (NYSE:DSX) over Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (NYSE:NM) if they want to play the shipping sector. “They are better run,” he said.
Cramer told a third viewer that that back-to-school season could be the catalyst that takes Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) to his $300 price target. He also said that everything is A-OK at Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS). Cramer holds both of these stocks in his charitable trust.
Finally, Cramer told another viewer to sell stem-cell firm Geron Corporation (NASDAQ:GERN). “They have been trying to make money and trying to get some revenues for years and years and years,” he said. “It doesn’t have any.” Get the scoop on tomorrow’s hottest trade ideas – TODAY!
