Cramer's Mad Money Daily Recap 7/28/05 - Put the X in Exxon

Jim Cramer said you shouldn't own Exxon Mobil (XOM) or Royal Dutch Shell (RD). Investors should buy Chesapeake Energy (CHK) and Southwestern Energy (SWN). Between Chesapeake and Southwestern and Exxon Mobil "it's growth vs. no growth," Cramer said.

Smith & Wesson (SWB) and Sturm Ruger (RGR) could rise 20% to 25% after the Senate passes a new bill that helps these gunmakers immensely.

Herb Greenberg warned Cramer that Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) has risks. Cramer advised investors to ring the register. Greenberg also warned about FoxHollow Technologies (FOXH) and Stereotaxis (STXS).

Skype Killing the Land Line Companies

Cramer issued a sell immediately on Verizon (VZ), SBC Communications (SBC), BellSouth (BLS) and Qwest (Q). Skype is a free software program that allows consumers to call anyone else who also has the Skype software program installed for free. Consumers have downloaded the Skype program more than 141 million times and Cramer said he wants you out of these land-line stocks before it is too late.

The Lightning Round

Bullish - Caterpillar (CAT), DayStar Technologies (DSTI), LSI Logic (LSI), Cheesecake Factory (CAKE), Medco Health (MHS), Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH), Vulcan Materials (VMC), Marshall & Ilsley (MI), LandAmerica Financial Group (LFG), Nabors Industries (NBR), Capital One Financial (COF), American Express (AXP), Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO), and Sepracor (SEPR).

Bearish - Akamai Technologies (AKAM), Molex (MOLX), Eyetech Pharmaceuticals (EYET), Ionatron (IOTN), Diebold (DBD), American Italian Pasta (PLB), Affiliated Computer Services, Belo (BLC), Mentor (MNT), Discovery Labs (DSCO), DaimlerChrysler (DCX), EMC (EMC), and Vasco Data Security International (VDSI).

Just wanted to say I just found this board - and thanks for posting all the daily Cramer information and recaps.

I had thought this would be a good idea - then found your board.

It's very helpful to track his picks and recos each day.

Thanks!
