Guest	Cramer's second pick was Brinks (BCO), which bought 21% of its shares outstanding in 2006 alone. Brinks and the other two companies Cramer said he's emphasizing are three companies that "don't just shrink the float -- they devour it." Brinks is a security company that has two segments, he said. One segment operates in armored cars, while the other operates in security alarms. It is a company, Cramer said, that's paying back debt even as it buys back "massive" amounts of stock. "Activist investors are swarming all over this stock," he said. "BCO works if it gets bought, and it works if it decides to split itself into two separate companies."	Love	May 09, 2007
