Jim Cramer’s Off The Charts: JDS Uniphase Corporation (NASDAQ:JDSU)
For his “Off The Charts” segment, Cramer went up against his colleague at TheStreet.com Dank Fitzpatrick over the chart of JDS Uniphase Corporation (NASDAQ:JDSU), which has soared 387% off its 2008 lows and is up 54% since Cramer last recommended the stock on Nov. 11, 2009. JDS Uniphase, which makes test and measurement gear as well as optical components for telco, cable, and networking companies, has benefited tremendously from Cramer’s newest favorite growth trend, the Mobile Internet Tsunami. Looking at the chart for JDSU, Fitzpatrick said the demand for shares are strong, with the stock up-trending and hitting higher news on big volume. He thinks the support level for JDSU is around $9 a share, and he would wait for the stock to trade to that level before buying . Turning to the fundamentals, Cramer said JDSU looks to be in a great position, now that the company has transformed itself into a networking giant. The firm’s test and measurement products saw sales soar 23% from the previous quarter, as telcos and cable companies poured billions into beefing up their networks. There are other division on fire as well. JDS’ communication products division saw its sales rise 11% from the previous quarter. JDSU also makes 3-D glasses, which Cramer thinks is a growing entertainment trend worth watching. Plus, the company makes lasers, medical and aerospace gear and even helps fight currency counterfeiters. Cramer told viewers to buy a quarter of a position in JDSU now at $11 and then wait for it to trade lower towards $9 to buy the rest. “When a stock has a strong story like JDSU,” Cramer said, “we cannot be deterred from buying this one.” Get the scoop on tomorrow’s hottest trade ideas – TODAY!

Jim Cramer’s ‘Stop Trading’: GS, KMB, PZZA, EQT
“Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) made a terrible call by downgrading Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:KMB) Monday,” Jim Cramer said on Tuesday’s “Stop Trading!” TV show. Goldman went negative on KMB due to rising pulp costs and advised investors to sell the stock along with other personal-care products firms. Cramer thinks Goldman’s call was dumb since Kimberly just raised its dividend and management just reaffirmed the numbers. Cramer had positive comments for Domino’s Pizza Inc. (NYSE:DPZ), after the company reported a strong fourth-quarter earnings that beat consensus expectations. He explained that the company has benefited large from a recent controversial ad campaign that first started on YouTube.com. “It’s the greatest PR coup I’ve seen in years,” Cramer said. “You’re seeing a monster quarter and I think it’s the first of many.” Finally, Cramer mentioned that EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT) recent land purchase of a gigantic chunk of the Marcellus Shale is a steal. “Anyone who bought a part of Marcellus and drilled there has seen their stock jump,” Cramer said. “EQT goes higher.” Get the scoop on tomorrow’s hottest trade ideas – TODAY!

Jim Cramer’s Mad Mail: NBR, HTS, PCL, WY
Cramer told a viewer that Nabors Industries Ltd. (NYSE:NBR) has been one of the worst performing stocks he has ever seen, and he wouldn’t want to own it right here. He told another viewer he’s not a fan of Hatteras Financial Corp. (NYSE:HTS), because the company’s dividend yield of 18% should raise red flags. Cramer said he doesn’t think HTS can possibly maintain that yield. He told a third viewer that Plum Creek Timber Co. Inc. (NYSE:PCL) and Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE:WY) should both benefit as the demand for lumber moves higher. Get the scoop on tomorrow’s hottest trade ideas – TODAY!

Jim Cramer’s Outrage of the Day: Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C)
Cramer had harsh words for the banking giant Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) and three of the company’s departing board members. Cramer said he agreed with Warren Buffett, who noted that directors of companies have gone largely unpunished in our current financial crisis and should be penalized for taking unnecessary risks during their tenure. “These announcements merely acknowledge a shuffling along, moving on with no real accountability. There is no stigma attached to what I see as their behavior of falling asleep at the wheel,” Cramer said. Get the scoop on tomorrow’s hottest trade ideas – TODAY!
