MONDAY- Alcoa (AA) already prepared us for miserable earnings. Cramer said that won't stop the analysts from cutting estimates even more. A global healthcare conference begins, and that should be good news for Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN) and Celgene (CELG). Cramer still likes the high-yielding drug names, like Bristol Meyers-Squibb (BMY) and Pfizer (PFE). TUESDAY - French industrial production numbers are out and a global auto conference. Cramer said he's anxious to see if ratings downgrades cause turmoil in Europe and if auto sales really are as strong as they appear. WEDNESDAY - Lennar (LEN) reports, giving a read on the U.S. housing market. Cramer said this company's earnings don't matter, but its sales and cancellations do. THURSDAY - We have Italian and Spanish bond auctions and U.S. retail sales numbers for December. Cramer said this average will likely be lower than some are expecting and he would use the weakness to buy stocks like Macy's (M), TJX Stores (TJX) and Ross Stores (ROST). Also, Domino's Pizza (DPZ) reports. Cramer said he expects great things. FRIDAY - JPMorgan Chase (JPM) should report a good number, probably the only good number among the big banks. He still likes the regional plays like BB&T (BBT) and US Bancorp (USB). In the final installment of his "Diamonds of the Dow" series, Cramer said the last "ace up his sleeve" is Boeing (BA), which is poised to have some of the best earnings it has seen in years. Demand for new, fuel-efficient planes is great. Shares of Boeing offer a 2.4% yield and are insanely cheap - a bargain, said Cramer, trading at just 14.8x earnings with a 13.4% long-term growth rate. In his "Mad Money Stock Super Bowl," the stocks of Cabot Oil & Gas (COG) squared off against Alexion Pharmaceuticals (ALXN) for the title of best stock for 2012. Both companies have low PEG ratios, great takeover potential and catalysts that could surprise investors to the upside. Looking at three more metrics: technical analysis, leadership and geo-political risk: Cramer said Alexion came out on top. Alexion gives investors similar growth potential with far less risk than Cabot. MAD MAIL: Infospace (INSP) - Cramer said the company is interesting but the stock price would need to come down and an accounting irregularity would need to be resolved before he would buy in. Newcastle Investments (NCT) - while the 12.6% yield may look attractive, its not when compared to the 85% decline in its share price over the past five years. Cramer gave his blessing to a viewer to leave shares of Micron Technology (MU) for MagnaChip Semiconductor (MX). Cramer was also bullish on Oneoak Partners (OKS), but more cautious on Chesapeake Energy (CHK), which has a "tough road" ahead. He said, Microsoft (MSFT) is a cheap stock without a catalyst. Costco (COST) Cramer likes it below $80/share. NO HUDDLE OFFENSE: Cramer said it appears that the short sellers have declared victory and are ringing the register on a slew of stocks, sending their shares higher. Most notable is Netflix (NFLX) which is now the best performing stock in the S&P 500 for 2012. But, Cramer said the short-squeeze can be seen in the for-profit schools, like Apollo Group (APOL), and also in JC Penney (JCP), Best Buy (BBY) and even Amazon.com (AMZN). Cramer said that all of these stocks are rallying as of late, as the short-sellers are leaving the table. LIGHTNING ROUND: (Bullish) ETP; NAT; PEG; NLY; DIS. (Bearish) BBEP; DRI; NMM; RIG; MTN.

However, the firm lowered its Q4 EPS estimate for the company below the consensus estimate, citing reduced aluminum prices and the company's rising sequential costs. The firm maintains a Buy rating. :theflyonthewall.com
