eBay is a Not Com - Cramer's Lightning Round (7/23/08)

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV program, Wednesday, July 23.

Bullish Calls 

• Cigna (CI) – “ Best of the health care group. They buy back a lot.” 
• Sims Group (SMS) -- “Scrap steel is still going down with the rest. There aren’t enough scrap operators out there. Buy, Buy, Buy.” 
• Google (GOOG) -- “Google is a buy off Yahoo’s good news.”
• Research in Motion (RIMM) - “This stock is also good.”
• EnerSys (ENS) -- “I like it as a spec. I think battery technology is the wave of the future. I am sticking with it.”
• SBA Communications (SBAC) -- “I’ve been behind this group all the way. I like the business.”
• Amazon.com (AMZN) -- “I like Amazon more than Microsoft.” 

Bearish Calls

• TiVo (TIVO) -- “The company is run by an excellent manager. Their situation is just OK not great. I would not be a buyer now. I would buy at the $5 level.”
• eBay (EBAY) -- “People just don’t like the stock. This is the one dot com I can’t get behind. Someone should buy them and put them out of their misery. Sell, Sell.”
• Cardiome Pharma (CRME) -- “This one is too small for me to give a view on them. They have had a good run though.”
• Fuelcell Energy (FCEL) -- “This one is too speculative. Stay away.”
• Microsoft (MSFT) -- “I have a hard time getting behind it. I didn’t see much in the quarter. 
• Apple (AAPL) -- "I like Apple more than Microsoft but would not recommend it.”
• Nighthawk Radiology (NHWK) -- “I am bearish on the stock. No – don’t buy it.”
• United Health (UNH) -- “Sell and buy Cigna.”
• Ford Motor (F) and General Motors (GM) -- “Too speculative, although I am warning up on the preferred stock.”

As a healthcare provider, I can tell you that United Health Care is a joke. They are continuously rated as the worst healthcare plan in the country. May they go bankrupt and soon.
