The Two Faces of the Facebook IPO (expected to trade with the ticker FB). Other stock mentioned: LinkedIn (LNKD)

The Facebook IPO (expected to trade with the ticker FB) has two faces: First, the deal. Second, the valuation. However, Cramer would look only at the first face right now, which is getting in on the IPO of a company with 848 million users. There are going to be more potential buyers than shares, and the stock getting bid up aftermarket is a foregone conclusion. Therefore, investors need to get in on the Facebook IPO if they can, regardless of the price. Cramer thinks the stock could double right after it opens. How do we know if the valuation will be too rich? That is an issue for after the IPO. If Facebook doubles, profits

Harley Davidson (HOG)

Harley Davidson (HOG) is revving up after reporting a great quarter with the fastest retail sales since 2005.

HOG has 45% market share in the motorcycle space and is an iconic brand that represents freedom, a great play on baby boomers wanting to feel younger. The company has restructured since 2009 and its inventory is now "lean and mean." The company is expanding overseas and is cheap, selling at a 13.5 multiple with a 14.5% growth rate.

Amazon (AMZN)

What Is the Golden Cross and Why Does It Matter?

There is a lot of chatter lately about a Golden Cross pattern developing in the chart of the S&P 500. Technicians see the Golden Cross as the ultimate bullish signal, and some interpret it as a green signal to buy. In short, a Golden Cross pattern happens when the 50 day moving average (indicative of the short-term trajectory) crosses the 200 day moving average (indicative of the long-term trajectory.) Since 2007, the S&P 500 has shown a Golden Cross pattern 5 times, and stocks rallied 4 out of 5 times. However, some analysts also point out that there were 12 Golden Cross patterns between 1930 and 1960, and stocks only rallied half the time. Therefore, the best strategy is to conclude that the Golden

How to Play the Facebook IPO

Facebook is taking market share with display ads and doubled its revenue since last year. This social networking giant is "the real deal." Cramer would get in the deal but advises investors to pay attention to the number of shares offered, not just the valuation. If the bankers are offering just a few shares, they are orchestrating a quick pop. In that case, investors should be ready to take quick gains. If the share offering is generous, investors may be able to hold Facebook's stock for a longer amount of time.

Tuesday

Arm Holdings (ARMH) reports. It is in cut-throat competition with Intel (INTC). Cramer would buy KLA-Tencor (KLAC) on the war between Intel and ARMH.

Amazon (AMZN) has been investing money in the company, so it might report a tepid quarter. However, the company had great

CEO Rick Hamada, Avnet (AVT). Other stock mentioned: Apple (AAPL)

Avnet (AVT) is like a supermarket of tech and is a great gauge of the industry, especially semiconductors.

Bullish Calls:

Netflix (NFLX): "A quick glance (at the conference call), it looks like they have done many things right...the shorts have overstayed their welcome...looks like they've got some momentum. We have to do more work on that, but that is the first cut."

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)

Continuing his week-long series on Big Pharma, Cramer featured Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) on Wednesday. The company has been plagued by drug recalls in the last two years and has had serious problems with its medical device division, including recalls for faulty hip replacements. The Street is concerned about the strength of the company's pipeline, and recently JNJ gave disappointing outlook for 2012.

Why buy JNJ, if it has so many problems? The fact the stock didn't move down on its weak quarter is a sign that expectations are too low for the stock, and in spite of management foibles, it has some things going for it. Most of its patent expirations are already behind it, and JNJ has many newly launched products, along with drugs in late stage development
