Jim Cramer laid out his "game plan" for the week of April 30th. He said Friday's unemployment data could wipe out any gains for the week, but that will only give longer-term investors a chance to buy on the cheap. (Monday) Harman International (HAR) and SBA Communications (SBAC) - two companies he expects will do well when they report. (Tuesday) Dominos Pizza (DPZ) and Emerson Electric (EMR) - Cramer is excited about their reports. Cummins (CMI) and Chesapeake Energy (CHK) - Cramer was worried about both reports and advised taking profits. (Wednesday) Allergan (AGN), Clorox (CLX), Time Warner (TWX), Garmin (GRMN) and Continental Resources (CLR) all report - Cramer said he'd be a buyer of these four. He was bearish on CVS Caremark (CVS), which is losing customers to rival Walgreens (WAG), and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) which has too many still unanswered questions. (Thursday) Cramer expects good things from the reports of Airgas (ARG), Teradata (TDC) and AIG (AIG). But regardless of the earnings, Cramer warned investors that Friday's unemployment data will be key and a bad number will cause all of these names to go on sale. EXECUTIVE DECISION: Cramer spoke with T.J. Rodgers, president and CEO of Cypress Semiconductor (CY) which received a 10% haircut after it lowered expectations in Q1, but is still yielding 3%. Rodgers noted that the company's guidance for the remainder of the year is conservative. He also noted that he recently purchased 500,000 shares of Cypress stock, a bullish gesture that Cramer said is not seen by many CEOs. Rodgers said that buttons on gadgets will become obsolete, leaving huge opportunities for touch controllers that Cypress manufactures. He also touted the company's investment in Deca Technologies as being another huge opportunity for Cypress. Cramer said Rodgers has delivered in the past and Cypress pays a nice dividend while investors wait for the more lucrative back half of the year. Cramer also spoke with Greg Lucier, chairman and CEO of Life Technologies (LIFE), a biotech firm on the leading edge of DNA sequencing products. Given that Life Technologies just posted a great first quarter on record sales, Cramer said the company remains a great investment, giving investors multiple ways to win. UPON FURTHER REVIEW: Cramer took a 2nd look at the earnings of Kimberly-Clark (KMB), a company that delivered a 7c earnings beat on a 4.2% increase in revenue. Cramer said while Kimberly delivered great earnings on its own, those earnings were even more spectacular when compared to those of its peers, like rival Procter & Gamble (PG), which disappointed analysts for its second quarter in a row. Kimberly trades at a lower multiple than rivals P&G and Colgate-Palmolive (CL), is taking share and has a 3.75% dividend. NO HUDDLE OFFENSE: Cramer illustrated the difference between a buyable dip versus a dangerous one. He said that the declines in Starbucks (SBUX) and Celgene (CELG) are buyable ones, as both of these companies are in growth mode. But the declines in Procter & Gamble and Deckers Outdoor (DECK) are a different story. Cramer reiterated that P&G has lost its way and has raised prices too much and is losing share. As for Deckers, the company's famed Uggs footwear may have run its course, as all brands are known to do from time to time. Cramer said he would also not be a buyer of Ford (F) nor any disk drive makers, as global weakness is trumping any good news that may be coming out of the U.S. LIGHTNING ROUND: (Bullish) SPPI; DUK; RNDY. (Bearish) MDRX.
