• First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) up over 300%, but it doesn’t need subsidies. He thinks the new administration will bring it in.  The payback is cheaper and faster because it doesn’t need silicon.  Cramer noted that this was to solar what Intel was to chips.  He wants to stick with it.
• Foster Wheeler (NASDAQ: FWLT) has risen 97% and is his favorite infrastructure play, which should work even higher.  Cramer thinks this one can be bought now without a pullback.
• Shaw Group Inc. (NYSE: SGR) is the play on nuclear energy and he would stick with this one.
• BorgWarner Inc. (NYSE: BWA) was play for clean emissions, but he thinks this one should be dumped.
• MEMC Electronic Materials Inc. (NYSE: WFR) is also up big but Cramer thinks this should be dumped because of recent execution problems.
• Tetra Tech (NASDAQ: TTEK) was a water play that rose only about 1.6%, but it is becoming the right place because of rapidly deteriorating domestic infrastructure.  It now has a wind energy company.  He thinks you can buy it now.
• FuelTech (NASDAQ: FTEK) has come back off since he said SELL, but now you can reload on it.  He said sell it once, and he thinks it is going up on increasing efficiency of coal plants. He also likes that insiders have been buying stock recently.
• OM Group (NYSE: OMG) is an emissions play, but now that it has recovered you can take profits in OM Group or just sell it.

Here was the summary for Cramer’s "original" Alternative Energy & Green Stocks if you want to compare then to now.

We have been highlighting some of the smaller green tech and alternative or renewable energy picks in our own weekly "10 Stocks Under $10" newsletter.  Of those picks, our Capstone Turbine Corp. (NASDAQ: CPST) is up roughly 150% and the only "selling" we have yet to note is perhaps some profit taking to lock in a portion of your gains, but we think this one is heading higher.  Our other pick has only been on the list in the under $10.00 newsletter for a few weeks, and it is already up about 30% since.  We actually just raised our expectations on this one.

Here were Cramer’s TOP 9 STOCKS FOR 2007, with a call broken down for each one.  Borat would say HI FIVE on some and NOT SO NICE on others, as would be expected.  Cramer’s 14,582 year-end DJIA target…..Friday’s close was 13,365.87……although we did hit 14,279.96 on OCT11, 2007.  Cramer also gave a batch of price targets on most of theDJIA components:

• Batch 1 (AA, MO, AIG, AXP, BA, T)
• Batch 2 (CAT, C, KO, DD, XOM, GE)
• Batch 3 (MMM, GM, HPQ, HON, HD, INTC, AMD, SHLD)

Cramer’s Stock Picks FOR 5-YEARS OUT:

• Cramer’s First Pick For Five Years Out: First Solar (FSLR, SPWR)
• Cramer’s Second Pick For Five Years Out: MedcoHealth (MHS)
• Cramer’s Third Pick For Five Years Out: Transocean (RIG)

SOME LISTS: His list of recession proof stocks compared to ours.  We are updating our
Defensive Stocks For The First Half Of 2008" currently.  Cramer gave a huge list of companies he expects to benefit from the alternative energy traders (SGR, FWLT, BWA, OMG, FSLR, FTEK, WFR, TTEK, ZOLT, BP, SPWR, CY, CPST, ITRI)… Jim Cramer pondered which US companies China would want to acquire, about 3 months before sovereign funds started buying into US companies.  Cramer’s mortgage winners and losers…… Here were his MAJOR BULL MARKET STOCK PICKS(MHS, CVS, AGN, CELG, GENZ, CEPH, RIG, HAL, EMR, CAT, CMI, UTX, KO,PEP, CL, GS, SKS, VFC, UNP, CSX, BA), some of which are DJIAcomponents.  Cramer produced a "MUST OWN" list of stocks, many of whichare up significantly and some are down (WHR, BDK, ATI, BGC, HON, ASD, JCI, MDR, FWLT, CAT, TEX, DE, QCOM)

Cramer spent lots of time on International stocks that most US investors might not cover on their own.  He made a big call on Mercadolibre (MELI) (also BIDU, GOOG) with some emphasis on buying immediately, right before it made a huge run up.  Cramer’s Hidden Video Game Investment Perfect World (PWRD, ATVI, ERTS, VIA) was one he said could run more than 50% for 2008.  Cramer made 5 TOP CHINESE PICKS (CEO, CHL, SSW, FMCN, BIDU, GMR).  We’ll see in 2008 if any of his Canadian OIL TRUSTS get acquired in 2008 (BTE, CNE, PGH, PVX, PWE, AAV, GDI).  Cramer also went over his top picks from Europe for American investors (TOT, SI, ABB, PHG, BF)

ON TECHNOLOGY:  Cramer’s NEW HORSEMEN OF TECH…. will the list change in 2008???  Did Cramer Say $1,000.00 on Google, Or Is It $600.00? That was in May 2007.  Cramer Gave Monster Price targets to Baidu.com (BIDU, GOOG).. will these targets change in 2008? Cramer was very positive on all the GPS stocks,although we’d expect that Cramer will change his tune in 2008 now thatthe holiday madness is behind us (GRMN, UA, CROX, NVT, TRMB, SIRF).

Would it be fair not to include the Barron’s attack on Cramer from summer for those of you that criticize his every word?

ON WARREN BUFFETT…. Cramer noted that BROOKFIELD ASSET MANAGEMENT in Canada may be the next Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK/A) NYSE: BAM). Cramer reviewed 10 Warren Buffett stocks for analysis and then reviewed 10 More Warren Buffett stocks:

• Stock Tickers: BRK/A, BNI, KO, PG, WMT, USG, AXP, WFC, MCO, JNJ, COP
• Stock Tickers: BRK/A, UNP, USB, MTB, ASD, NSC, WLP, UNH, IR, HRB

Will his buyout of ALCOA (AA) prediction come true in 2008??? Cramer gave a list of stocks that had bought back so much stock that they might be taking themselves private.

• Shaw (SGR) up from $30 by 146% in nuke power infrastructure he thinks it can still double.
• Foster Wheeler (FWLT) up 99% and being driven by non-green demand, it’s still a favorite but for another reason.
• Borg Warner (BWA) is up 38% and still has legs in cleaner engine parts, Cramer thinks it goes higher.
• OM Group (OMG) is actually down on refining cobalt and he said he’d have given up if last quarter wasn’t good.
• First Solar (FSLR) was up big today on a $1 Billion contract.  Its up 170% since his recommendation and he thinks it can go higher with analysts racing each other to raise targets.  It reports Wednesday but he says it is expensive and he’s look at it speculatively.
• Fuel-Tech (FTEK) is one that Cramer would rather sell than OM Group.
• MEMC (WFR) is an arms merchant for solar makers in making wafers for solar panels; too good to pass it up; it’s cheap and he thinks out of all green stocks that this one is still bargain.  MEMC is his TOP PICK in the alt-en sector.
• Tetra Tech (TTEK) is his play on the water group and he likes the last buyout with an international footprint.

He doesn’t see a single one where he thinks the run is over.  In a call-in he was also positive on Zoltek (ZOLT).  As far as BP’s (BP) initiatives in a call-in, he thinks it is an after-thought and right now it doesn’t add up right.  SunPower (SPWR) in a last call-in is one that he’s been behind and he thinks Cypress Semi (CY) is the play off it.

Another alternative energy stock an analyst said could double is Capstone Turbine (CPST) today in an unrelated report.  That was Lazard, and its analyst also defended Itron (ITRI) on recent weakness.
