Cramer in Yield Plays

By Douglas A. McIntyre Published

On today’s STOP TRADING on CNBC Cramer talked about the ties to China and also how now the Fed has all of a sudden a rate-cutting Fed even though he has been saying this for a month.  He thinks this is the pain before the rate cuts.  He likes the 4% yielders right now.  He noted P&G (PG), Pepsi (PEP), Kellog (K), Kimberly Clark (KMB), Altria (MO).  He will start looking at Bank of America tomorrow and the 4% yielders in finance.  He thinks that the cyclicals and Latin America could fall a while more.  He still likes Charter Communications as a winner on the bond market rally; he also likes the oil drillers as not sensitive to rates.
