Cramer: Bush is Hurting the Market Multiple; Also Comments on Gap & Home Depot

Today Cramer was dissecting some deal making on his Wall Street Confidential on TheStreet.com.  Cramer said today’s strength in slow sectors is from M&A.  Online Education and Paper sectors have been dead, Bristol-Myers (BMY) rumors and Bank mergers…all these are igniting dead sectors. 

On big companies that could be attractive as private companies: Cramer again said Gap (GPS-NYSE) is a legitimate LBO candidate that has to bury bad results for 3 quarters; for the company to write down leases it would wreck public company financials, but as a private company they could easily absorb that over a two to three year period.  Home Depot (HD-NYSE) would also work there according to Cramer.

He also thinks the public isn’t into the market this year and a lot of people are fed up with our country and investing elsewhere; he said Europe is a safe place to invest and he even said Bush is "really" hurting the market multiple right now.  Watch his video, he said it so don’t shoot the messenger.
