May 25 - K PEP TOL GENZ GILD CELG BMRN

Cramer's first pick tonight was K Kellogg Co.

Closing Price: $47.12
After Hours High: $47.50
Percent Increase at High: 0.8%
Price Level Off Point: $47.45
Percent Increase at Level Off Point: 0.7%
Trades on NYSE
Sector: Consumer Goods
Short %: 1.63%
Days to cover: 2.3

Hardly any increase in price here on very light volume. Cramer mentioned a few stocks before settling in on Kellogg as his actual pick. Not really an exciting play here, but it is slowly creeping up after hours but still nothing to consider for shorting yet.

His second pick in the first segment was PEP Pepsico Inc.

Closing Price: $60.56
After Hours High: $61.00
Percent Increase at High: 0.7%
Price Level Off Point: $60.94
Percent Increase at Level Off Point: 0.6%
Trades on NYSE
Sector: Consumer Goods
Days to cover: 1.4

Again, very light volume and very little price increase. Not much to say about this one either. Is Mad Money not being shown at 6pm Eastern time in some areas?!?! Anyone?!?! Or just not a market people want to buy into right this minute?

Cramer's next pick was TOL Toll Brothers Inc.

Closing Price: $28.43
After Hours High: $28.89
Percent Increase at High: 1.6%
Price Level Off Point: $28.85
Percent Increase at Level Off Point: 1.5%
Trades on NYSE
Sector: Industrial Goods
Short %: 11.6%
Days to cover: 3.6

Finally a bit more volume here, probably because the price of the stock is a little more affordable than his first 2 picks, but still not an overly compelling story here and probably the reason for such a small increase in price once again. Is it just me or is Cramer picking very boring stocks...for what I think to try to make people stop buying right away because the market hasn't been doing well and he doesn't want to destroy anymore people??? Bigger short percentage here, but big daily volume reduces any squeeze potential, not to mention the small price increase probably won't scare many existing shorts. Again....nothing great here.

Cramer had a basket of biotechs and they were GENZ GILD CELG BMRN.

BMRN
BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. is the cheapest of the picks only trading at $13.00 at the close today.

Closing Price: $13.00
After Hours Price High: $13.39
Percent Increase at High: 3.0%
Price Level Off Point: $13.31
Percent Increase at Level Off Point: 2.4%
Trades on NASDAQ
Sector: Healthcare
Short %: 11.6%
Days to cover: 8.3

Pretty big short percentage here with 8.3 days to cover so. Another up day tomorrow could easily hold a lot of stocks up. The gains after hours aren't holding very well right now but of all the picks this is really the only one any potential. CELG was up in the after hours before Mad Money so don't get fooled into thinking the increase is based on Cramer buyers. GILD and GENZ are a bit too pricey for my taste and are only up 1.0% and 1.3% respectively after hours.
