Jim Cramer's Mad Money - October 18, 2005
Cramer started off the show talking about drug stocks. He noted that he likes Genentech and Amgen (DNA, AMGN) but that the biotech play he really likes is Genzyme (GENZ). Cramer doesnt want monomaniacal biotech stocks. He doesnt think that Genentech is diversified as for the most part they are only focused on cancer. He believes that Genzymes strategy of dominating many niche markets makes the stock right.
Jim believes that Accenture (ACN) has been trying to get everyones attention for a while and is a great outsourcing play. He has switched is outsourcing trade from Infosys (INFY) to Accenture (ACN). He also noted that he wishes he owned it for his charitable trust.
Herb Greenberg joined Jim in studio today for the Beating the Racket segment. Greenberg believes that Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) is in a world of hurt and it doesnt make sense to buy it here at 18. Greenberg thinks that Amlyn (AMLN) could go to 100 or 200 over the next two, three or four years. Both Greenberg and Cramer like their drug Byetta. Greenberg has a source that believes that AMLN is getting traction for their prescriptions. Cramer believes it is better to ring the register here on the stock.
