Jim Cramer Pushes Allergan (AGN) Again

Jim Cramer has been consistently positive on Allergan (AGN), telling viewers to buy the stock since 6/7/2006 when he featured it on Mad Money a little over a year ago. Since then, the stock has risen nearly 30% on the back of its diverse drug portfolio and its signature Botox treatment. On 9/5/2006, Cramer declared the stock "in perpetual mon' back mode."

Chairman and CEO David Pyott has appeared on the show twice, and Cramer gave the stock strong buy calls after each instance. On 12/11/2006, Jim was quoted as saying, "the other day we saw a downgrade of this stock by Thomas Weisel Partners, downgrading on valuation. He's wrong. David's right." Lately, on 10/5/2007, Jim noted again, "Now, I cannot stress enough how remarkable this company is, it's turned itself into a one stop shop for all the cosmetic procedures!"

Cramer Hot on Top Stock NVIDIA (NVDA)

Cramer has recommended NVIDIA (NVDA) in the past but seems to be riding this recent hot stock's momentum to the moon. Last December 2006, Jim predicted NVIDIA would have an excellent month and the stock was due for a great "mark up week trade." At the beginning of the month he stated, "When a stock comes into December with a full head of steam, when it's got the big momentum, the action will generally continue right through the month, with a vengeance!" On the seventh of the month, he told viewers to stay away from the chip stocks off a bad quarter from National Semiconductor (NSM). Although, the trade hadn't been retracted completely, this negative call might have confused some viewers to trade out of a decent December run. The trade was over by the end of 2006, however, and seasonal weakness in semiconductor stocks lead NVIDIA (NVDA) to lose nearly 25% of its value.

One of Cramer's best trades undoubtedly came this year when he featured NVDA for speculation Friday on 6/15/07. "At about 22x this year's earnings estimates, NVDA is just not that expensive, especially given the earnings momentum and the likelihood that they will keep taking share"..."Are you looking for momentum? I need you to look no further than NVIDIA Corp." Since then, the stock has been on fire (or "en fuego" as Jim would say) as NVDA has gained 43% in just 3 1/2 months.
