Cramer was out giving advice to newspaper company Gannett Co (GCI) tonight on Mad Money. Cramer told Gannett to pick up the phone and tell its banker to buy Monster Worldwide, Inc. (MNST). Jim thinks that if Gannett doesn't buy MNST then he sees Google (GOOG) doing it. Jim wants investors to buy Monster as well because he thinks this company just makes too much sense as a takeover target. Jim thinks that Gannett buying MNST makes sense because Gannett owns CareerBuilder.com. "By buying Monster it can swap from a dying industry to a vibrant one," Cramer said. Monster recently had a "shortfall," he said, but this made it "affordable" for Gannet to purchase it. Jim thinks Monster is up for sale because the new CEO Sal Iannuzzi was giving the job to make a deal in Jim's view. Sal Iannuzzi is the previous CEO of Symbol Technologies, which under his stint at the helm was acquired by Motorola, Inc. (MOT). Second, Monster made the Goldman Sachs' list of likely private equity plays, Cramer said.

  • $26.54

Jim Cramer sees more takeover games at The Dow Chemical Company (DOW). The Dow Chemical Company is up 3% today even after two top executives were terminated for ties to a shady leveraged buyout deal. This last round of firings over unauthorized merger talk engagements signals that this means the ousted executives could lead a deal to take DOW private.

On 4-10-07 Mad Money, Jim telling investors to stay in Charter Communications (CHTR). Jim has been bullish on CHTR since February but the stock hasn't preformed. Now two things have changed that has him all excited on the prospects for CHTR. He said that Comcast and Insight Media unwound a joint venture and now that Comcast has control in Indiana Illinois is a big deal for it. Cramer said the value is 12% lower on an enterprise value per subscriber basis. Jim also thinks that Comcast could be interested in buying CHTR now. Second, and more importantly to Cramer, Comcast bought another cable company Patriot Media paying 50% above CHTR's current customer valuation. Jim thinks that Comcast is paying up for cable customers because customers are becoming more and more valuable. Cramer said he is no longer worried about this stock because it is cheap and could be a takeover target.
