Jim Cramer gives a short “morning take” preview from the CNBC Investing Club, discussing trades and why he bought or avoided specific stocks.
No guests are interviewed; the episode is solely Jim Cramer.
He bought Kimberly-Clark (5%+ yield) because it will likely merge within two months with “Kenview,” creating a new soft-goods giant like a “new Proctor.” He bought FedEx as oil/gas pressure drove the stock down, arguing FedEx has strong pricing power via FedEx Freight and should outperform UPS, especially around Christmas. He built Bank of New York as a small position after buying “too early,” citing no credit exposure.
Kimberly-Clark (50 shares), FedEx (20 shares with a pyramid buy plan), Bank of New York (small, to build), and Boeing (passed; he says demand remains strong despite oil and airline fare concerns).

Okay, we bought 50 shares with Kimberly-Clark.
1:22Now, Kimberly-Clark is a very out-of-favor stock with a five-and-change yield. It's not going to do well if the 10-year goes to six. However, we're buying Kimberly because it's going to merge probably within the next two months with Kenview. And then so you have a whole new company that's going to dominate in the soft goods. It's going to be the new proctor. It's what people are going to want. And, oh, it's up nicely from where we bought it. Well, that's good. We bought some FedEx. And we bought FedEx because the stock's been going down because of oil and gas. But people have to recognize that they have a pass-through.
1:51They're one of the few companies that are so powerful that they can say, this is FedEx freight. This is not the stock that I want. That FedEx FTX is absolutely so powerful that it's going up only against UPS. And what you're going to see is that we're going to see a Christmas that's going to be very good for FedEx versus UPS. I think FedEx is going to pass UPS for the first time. So I wanted to buy some here, and then I'll buy some here if it goes down. It's$2.60. And at$2.60, I use a pyramid style. I will buy some here, as you see, and I bought 20 shares. And then if it goes down to here, I'll probably buy another 20.
2:27And if it gets to the pyramid, which would probably be around this area, I'll probably buy another 50 to make this position really big. That's what I like to do. When things go down, I like it very much to be able to buy a better price. And then we bought Bank of New York, which we bought candidly too early, ahead of what I regard as the bank tsunami of selling. And that's all right. I mean, sometimes you can do that. It's a very small position. I am going to build it up because they have no credit exposure. That's what I was looking for. I don't want credit exposure with a bank right now at this point in the cycle.
2:57I did not get to buy Boeing. Now, that was bad. I chose to hold off on Boeing because I saw that oil was going up. Boeing has very much correlated with oil. and Boeing is very much correlated with the results of different airlines. Delta had a number that stupidly is being regarded as being not that great. In reality, what you saw was demand was very strong right through the period. I would not have thought that demand would be strong with the rising fares. They have to be able to raise fares again to be able to keep up with oil and gas. They will do that, but I'm very glad. Look, I wanted to buy it at$188.
3:33I may be penny-wise, pound-foolish, but obviously the stock has had a big breakdown, and a lot of people have gotten out of it believing that as long as oil is this high, you don't want Boeing. Of course, it's the opposite. You want planes that don't use a lot of fuel.
