Stocks discussed on the in-depth session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV Program, Thursday February 2.

The Two Faces of the Facebook IPO (expected to trade with the ticker FB). Other stock mentioned: LinkedIn (LNKD)

The Facebook IPO (expected to trade with the ticker FB) has two faces: First, the deal. Second, the valuation.

Cramer’s Mad Money – Avnet Is The Supermarket Of Tech (1/26/12)

By Miriam Metzinger:

Stocks discussed on the in-depth session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV Program, Thursday January 26.

CEO Rick Hamada, Avnet (AVT). Other stock mentioned: Apple (AAPL)

Avnet (AVT) is like a supermarket of tech and is a great gauge of the industry, especially semiconductors.

CEO Rick Hamada discussed weakness in Europe and slow computer sales, but server sales were up 35%. Storage and cloud computing are themes that are working right now. Avnet does not see a huge disconnect between Apple (AAPL) and non-Apple levered clients.

Pfizer (PFE), Verizon (VZ), AT&T (T), Caterpillar (CAT), Occidental Petroleum (OXY), Clean Energy (CLNE), Tesla Motors (TSLA), Annaly (NLY), Union Pacific (UNP)

Over the course of 2011, investors steadily unloaded their holdings in Research in Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM) as it became apparent that the maker of Blackberry phones couldn't keep up with the tag-team onslaught of Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) and Google (Nasdaq: GOOG), which now collectively control more than 75% of the global smartphone market.

Perhaps an even greater victim of the Apple/Google juggernaut has been Nokia (NYSE: NOK), which should have been an important player in the smartphone market.

About two months ago, I suggested that the Finland-based company was headed for trouble.
 
Shares of Nokia remain stuck below $ 6 and a very high short-selling interest implies more trouble ahead. The recent short position stood at 148 million shares, equating to six days' worth of trading volume and the second-largest short position on the New York Stock Exchange (after Bank of America (NYSE: BAC)).
