Cramer Sees 25% Upside For Nordic American Tanker

8 May, 2008 Economy | Comments (0) @ 19:35

“There is a stock out there that can give you both a morbidly obese, double-digit dividend yield and up to 25% upside potential,” Jim Cramer told fans of his “Mad Money” TV show Thursday. That stock is Nordic American Tanker (NAT), Cramer’s new favorite oil tanking company. Cramer explained that the overall amount of tankers on the high seas is barely staying flat, despite high demand from OPEC, and NAT is benefiting. The company said its day rates rose to $46,600 a day from $27,000 in the last quarter, and Cramer said it will go up even more. Cramer said investors shouldn’t worry that the company reported weaker-than-expected earnings, because Nordic raised its dividend to $1.18 share, a yield of 11%, which is double what it paid in the third and fourth quarters during the previous year. Bear Stearns thinks NAT’s day rates could rise to $70,000, which would give it a yield of 22%, or a $2.00 dividend. Lastly, he mentioned that only three of the 10 analysts that follow the stock have a buy rating. With such high demand and not enough tankers on the seas, Cramer loves this story.

Mea Culpa Coach

8 May, 2008 Economy | Comments (0) @ 18:45

Cramer admitted he has been wrong with his negativity on Coach (COH) and now investors are free to buy the stock. Cramer said he listened to the media and didn’t do his homework on the high-end consumer products maker. Cramer bought into the media hype that Coach was having inventory problems. He said he should have trusted CEO Lew Frankfort when he came on Mad Money and said a that a bad quarter was a one time thing. Had investors listened to Frankfort they would have caught a double in the stock. Cramer explained that Coach is growing sales and earnings at 19% and the shares trade at 15 times next year’s earnings. Cramer called COH cheap and said the company is buying back stock aggressively and expanding into China. Cramer advised investors to start buying Coach again.

8 May, 2008 Economy | Comments (0) @ 17:20

Gold is back, Jim Cramer said on CNBC’s “Stop Trading!” segment Thursday. Cramer explained that rising 0il prices are due to supply and demand issues and not from the action in the dollar. He thinks gold stocks are buys and he recommended Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM) and Yamana Gold (AUY ). Cramer told investors he wants to sell the retail sector after its recent run. He advised investors to get out of Nordstrom (JWN), Urban Outfitters (URBN), Phillips-Van Heusen (PVH), Target (TGT) and VF Corp. (VFC). Cramer said the only keeper in the sector is Wal-Mart (WMT) with Coscto (COST) at a close second. Cramer said investors should pay attention to oil drilling in India, which is taking off and companies like Transocean (RIG) will benefit. The biggest refinery in the world, which is near completion, is in India, and it plans to service Middle East oil before it comes to the U.S. Lastly Cramer recommended Discovery Holding (DISCA). “This is a masterfully run company with big, big ad gains,” he said.
