On the Mad Money 5-21-07 show, Cramer began his weeklong series giving his take on the first six names in the Dow.

Cramer believes the index will reach 14,548 this year, and he sees it climbing by close to 500 points in the next three months and then another 500 in the November-December rally he predicts will come. The Dow closed Tuesday at 13,540.

He's going through every stock in the Dow and not shying away from any mea culpas, so people will know what to buy. And as the past tells us, Cramer's annual predictions for the Dow are not always far from actual numbers. In fact, last year the Dow closed at 12,463, just 7 points below his target of 12,470.

  • +4.78%
  • $14.02

Starting with Alcoa (AA), he said that this is a stock that has been on a "rampage." It is up 30% already, and Cramer said he sees it going to either $42, in the event it gets taken over, or $45 on its own earnings.

  • $41.18

American Express (AXP), the second Dow stock Cramer named, is up only 5% this year, he said. The company's "remarkable CEO keeps building," but the stock can't keep up, he said. In fact, it's below MasterCard (MA) in terms of valuation. Cramer said he expects American Express to reach $72 by the end of 2007 as it plays catch-up to MasterCard.

AIG (AIG), a stock he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, is "another name that's not getting the respect it deserves," Cramer said. This is a company that has a "gigantic" business in China and that recently raised its cash dividend by 21.2%. According to Cramer, AIG could

Moving on, he said AT&T (T) is up 13% already, and he predicted that it should "inch its way" to $45 by year-end.

  • $68.97

Boeing (BA), Cramer continued, should go beyond his original forecast of $100 and reach $105. The aerospace bull market is one of the most "tremendous" bull markets because airlines refinance their balance sheets, buy more planes and create pin action for Boeing, he said.

Finally, Altria (MO), which Cramer also owns for his charitable trust, is up a "measly 10% this year, Cramer said. "That's not enough."

    Caterpillar

  • +1.30%
  • $59.65

Cramer started Tuesday with Caterpillar (CAT), a name that's driving him crazy "because people still don't get it." "It is the single most misunderstood large-cap stock in the universe," Cramer said. People need to understand that Caterpillar is where the growth is. "It's in the machinery sweet spot," he said. First of all, everything in housing is going to be up against "easy comparisons" during the second half of the year, Cramer said. But despite that, Caterpillar has more to do with infrastructure in the Middle East tar sands and the digging out of coal and petrochemical refineries in Dubai than it has to do with homebuilders. Caterpillar, he predicts, should reach $90 by year-end. The stock closed Tuesday at $75.51.
