Jim Cramer's Mad Money - October 24, 2005
Cramer likes LNG (Cheniere Energy) as more than anything else in the world Cheniere needs the blessing of the Fed regulators. Cramer believes that the regulatory commission is going to rule in their favor because they just hired the consulting firm owned by former Secretary of Energy, Spencer Abraham. He blessed Cheniere with a “BUY BUY BUY!” He did place a caveat on the pick by saying to “give this stock 18 months to work the Spencer magic,” and “I think that this is going to be a multi-year positive regulatory story and you’re getting in very, very cheap.”
Henry Silverman, CEO of Cendant (CD) joined Cramer in studio today. Cramer came away from the conversation saying that “I was disappointed where the stock went. I’m not going to sell a share, I think there is real value but I am going to have Henry back six months from now and we’ll see how you did.”
GOOGLE 500 PRICE TARGET??
In the Lightning Round Cramer offered a glimpse into his newest price target on Google (GOOG) saying in reply to a caller asking about GOOG, “Hey I was about to reveal my price target but you never bury your lead at this point in the show. But remember this, $10 in earnings power, 50 multiple. You take the multiple and multiply it by the earnings and you get… Stay with Cramer!!!”
Cramer featured Johnson Controls (JCI) after the lightning round today. Johnson Controls is escaping from the auto business. Cramer wondered what may happen if Johnson Controls split itself into two companies, “one for energy controls and one for automotive. That’d be huge, stock would take off!” He surmised that they could jettison the auto business and you’d be left with “a pure play on saving money from higher energy costs.” Calling himself “The Stock Whisperer” Cramer thinks that JCI “shouldn’t be going up the way it is unless they are planning on at least splitting the company up.”
Fred Hassan, Chairman and CEO of Schering-Plough (SGP) joined Cramer on the show via phone. Cramer gave the stock the “BULL” saying “Schering-Plough is now the one to play because this guy’s a winner.”
