He preferred DuPont DD and Dow Chemical DOW instead, where the costs are falling. DD climbed 1.44% to $35.99 in after hours, while DOW jumped 3.51% to $27.73. Jim said that although Seabridge Gold SA is ‘up on a real spike,’ he preferred SPDR Gold Shares GLD, as he liked to avoid mining risk whenever possible. GLD advanced 0.45% before closing at $117.36 yesterday. For Norfolk Southern NSC, Cramer said that he liked the rails, but Union Pacific UNP continued to be his favorite in this sector. UNP slipped 0.83% to $68 yesterday. Cramer said that he did not want to give up on Wendy's/Arby's Group WEN. He advised traders to invest in Darden Restaurants DRI also. WEN gained 1.60% to $4.45 in after hours and DRI climbed 0.14% to $41.70. When asked about Delcath Systems DCTH, Jim disclosed that he believed in any company that had made a breakthrough in cancer research. This was the reason why he also liked Dendreon DNDN. DCTH advanced 3.84% to close at $15.13 yesterday. After falling 0.77%, DNDN closed at $42.80, but the stock climbed 1.05% to $43.25 in after hours. Cramer said that Linn Energy LINE is largely dependent on hedges on natural gas and, therefore, he would rather prefer Kinder Morgan Energy Partners KMP that has made a lot of money for people. KMP traded at $61.77, up 0.03% in after hours. To see more trading ideas, click here.
