February 21st - Anti-Competitive Mergers

Cramer's first segment looked at the Sirius and XM merger and used that to focus on other companies who could merge even with a similar anti-competitive deal.

His top 10 anti-competitive mergers possibilities were:

Kroger Co. (KR) Closing Price: $26.47 and Safeway Inc. (SWY) Closing Price: $36.96

Quest Diagnostics Inc. (DGX) Closing Price: $52.42 and Laboratory Corp. of America Holdings (LH) Closing Price: $80.06

Carnival Corp. (CCL) Closing Price: $48.66 and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (RCL) Closing Price: $40.73

Office Depot, Inc. (ODP)
Closing Price: $35.72 and OfficeMax Inc. (OMX) Closing Price: $53.27

Cardinal Health Inc. (CAH) Closing Price: $72.36 and McKesson Corp. (MCK) Closing Price: $57.44

BP plc (BP) Closing Price: $61.50 and Chevron Corp. (CVX) Closing Price: $69.94

Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT) Closing Price: $102.55 and Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC) Closing Price: $75.29

Comcast Corp. (CMCSA) Closing Price: $41.69 and Time Warner Inc. (TWX) Closing Price: $21.65

Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI) Closing Price: $62.95 and McClatchy Co. (MNI) Closing Price: $38.08

CSX Corp. (CSX) Closing Price: $40.87 and Union Pacific Corp. (UNP) Closing Price: $104.31

Not the type of show that invokes a lot of after hours buying typically, and the prices and size of most of these stocks make it a rather boring show from a shorting perspective.
