Cramer's metal armor

On today's STOP TRADING segment on CNBC, Jim Cramer said you need to look at the smaller sub-$5 Billion stocks in the metals sector since it looks like the huge mergers in the group may have happened. Two names he gave were Teck Cominco Ltd. (NYSE:TCK) and Lundin Mining (NYSE:LMC). He still maintains that Alcoa Inc. (NYSE:AA) will not be a public company next year, despite the 3% drop today on word that BHP Billiton (NYSE:BHP) is not going to acquire it.

We'll see if this really ends up being the case if Alcoa ends up being acquired. These huge metals companies may not be quite as easy to acquire as some pundits think, even if a billion dollars isn't worth anything compared to what it once was. Lundin was one of those lesser known and lesser followed metals stocks we reviewed in May as an overlooked metals stock when shares were at $12.70 or so.

Jim Cramer's big list: 'Wild Bull Market' picks

On tonight's MAD MONEY on CNBC, Jim Cramer discussed where the "Wild Bull Markets" are that you want to be in for the rest of the year. He has six bull markets and he thinks this full year will be in bull market mode for these sectors and stocks.

1) Agriculture: The subsidies bring in $55 billion in revenues to large farm companies alone. His three picks in this are Deere & Co. (NYSE: DE), Monsanto Co. (NYSE: MON), and Sociedad Quimeca y minea (NYSE: SQM).

2) Machinery: His pick is Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT).

3) Infrastructure, perhaps the most wild bull market: the two cheapest after the big runs are Foster Wheeler (NASDAQ: FWLT) and McDermott Intl. (NYSE: MDR).

4) Aerospace: Cramer's pick is Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) and he now thinks it will pass $100.

5) Oil & Gas, which were down hard today: Halliburton Co. (NYSE: HAL) is his number one service and driller; in Oil Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS.A).

6) Minerals, where the mergers are nuts: The buy for the things the Chinese use is Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold (NYSE: FCX) for copper and gold that could see its 9-times earnings go to 12-times.

Cramer: The US is slow, but the rest of the world isn't

Filed under: Hewlett-Packard (HPQ),

On today's STOP TRADING! segment on CNBC, Cramer broadcast from Indiana University, where he will also be hosting his MAD MONEY show tonight.

He noted about high shipping freight rates showing there is no global slowdown. The rest of the world is strong and we are the weak economy. Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (ADR) (NYSE: RIO) is great and Cramer thinks Lundin Mining Corp. (USA) (AMEX: LMC) could go to $15 soon because it is too valuable.

As far as tech goes, AM TECH made a call on Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE: HPQ) and Cramer said he likes that stock but doesn't like the tech sector. He thinks of the tech sector as most others think about the housing sector right now. On Washington Mutual Inc. (NYSE: WM), Cramer likes the yield and he thinks it's probably overdone to the downside except you have to know there could be a coming write-down charge in the name.
