"There's always been a groupthink in Europe about currencies. The companies that want to buy American companies have, at times, seemed to care more about the currency, or at least not buying a company in a country whose currency is in decline, than they care about the actual target." - Jim Cramer

  • S
    Sprint Nxtel Cp
  • $8.96
  • +2.17%
  • $8.71

It is no coincidence that Deutsche Tel (DT) and Finmeccanica are exploring Sprint (S) and DRS (DRS).

People owning S also tend to own: ACEBACCCATCGCOPCVX

TheStreet.com Rating: D What is this?

  • DRS
    Drs Technologies
  • $79.52
  • +0.15%
  • $79.35

These are just too cheap for these companies to ignore, and much more of a healthy franchise than Sprint and a more important franchise than DRS.

People owning DRS also tend to own: AFFXBSXBZHCHBCKPCPWMCYBX

  • HNZ
    Heinz H J Co
  • $51.72
  • +1.75%
  • $50.79

That's what I am thinking about when I see the better-than-expected figures today from Unilever (UL) and the other day from Nestle. These companies are part of that same groupthink. They are looking, no doubt, at a Heinz (HNZ) and thinking, "Wait, that's about a $10 billion company that's a global leader."

People owning HNZ also tend to own: DENNDRTEIASGJRCCMCDNOOFPBY

  • AGN
    Allergan Inc
  • $56.18
  • +0.52%
  • $55.88

Or how about Allergan (AGN)? That was a $20 billion company that is down to $16 billion in dollars and about $12 billion as a translation to euros.

People owning AGN also tend to own: ALKBABKCCACMCSAERIE
