Cramer’s Technology Tsunami Picks for 2010 (GOOG, AAPL, AMT, CCI, SBAC, SWKS, ALTR, CY, XLNX, AMZN, CSCO, ERTS, QCOM, INTC)

Tonight on CNBC’s MAD MONEY, Jim Cramer continued with his stock picks for 2010 based on investment themes.  We have already seen energy shortage picks, counter-terrorism and homeland security picks, and international ADR picks; and tonight Cramer gave his high-hope technology picks in the “tech tsunami” theme for 2010.  First, Cramer denies that a war between Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) will only have one winner.  Other mobile web build-out and expansion winners as theme stock picks for 2010 are American Tower Corp. (NYSE: AMT), Crown Castle International Corp. (NYSE: CCI), SBA Communications Corp. (NASDAQ: SBAC), Skyworks Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), Altera Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTR), Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: CY), Xilinx inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAD: CSCO) that is now deep into wireless and in advanced communications. Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), QUALCOMM Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM), and Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC).

Many of these stocks share the notion that they are close to 52-week highs and some are close to 2008 highs.  This list is also somewhat different than the list given in our “top picks from everyone” linking to a December 8, 2009 story with TheStreet.com’s top tech picks for 2010.  A brief note on each stock and the reason Cramer likes these follows herein.

Downgrading The Towers Sector (AMT, CCI, SBAC)

RBC Capital Markets has issued a downgrade of the cellular and mobile tower sector this morning, which looks like it will weigh somewhat on the shares in the group.  Its prior weighting was "Outperform" in the group, and these three stocks were lowered to a "Sector Perform" rating:

  • American Tower (NYSE: AMT); stock indicated down over 1%.
  • Crown Castle (NYSE: CCI); stock indicated down 1%.
  • SBA Communications (NASDAQ: SBAC); stock indicated down almost 1%.

Most of these stocks were very close to 52-week highs, so this is  a group to watch in pre-market trading as we get closer to the open.
