Mad Money Lightning Round: Jim Worried About FTR Yield, Thinks MCRS Is Too Much Niche (MCD, BKD, AIB, C, MCRS, CSCO, CPB, PG, FTR, WIN)
In his "Mad Money Lightning Round," Jim Cramer expressed his preference for McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) instead of Burger King (NYSE: BKC). He stated that MCD has better exposure to the international markets and is a better company. MCD fell by 0.09% in pre-market trading and BKC lost 0.67%.
For Micros Systems (NASDAQ: MCRS), Jim said that it is too much of a niche company to interest him. He would rather prefer investors put their money in Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO), which has more exposure to the mainstream market. MCRS dropped 0.22% in after hours and CSCO gained 0.73% in pre market trading.
Jim said that anyone investing in Allied Irish Banks (NYSE: AIB) will be taking a chance with the stock. He thinks that it is better to opt for Citigroup (NYSE: C) instead. C gained 1.26% in pre market trading.
Although Campbell Soup (NYSE: CPB) seemed fine to Jim, he expressed a preference for growth stocks and CPB has been stuck at a level for a while now. He said he would like to remain with Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG). PG lost 0.36% in pre-market trading.
Jim was worried about the yield of Frontier Communications (NYSE: FTR), which stood at 13%. He thought Windstream (NYSE: WIN) was better in that segment. FTR lost 0.39% and WIN gained 0.69% in pre-market trading.
