Jim Cramer Discussed 27 Stocks, Like Arm and Lockheed, and the Recent Market Sell-Off

25. The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG)

The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) was among the stocks Jim Cramer discussed on Mad Money, along with the recent sell-off in the market. Cramer mentioned the stock during the episode and remarked:

Today’s the day that Procter & Gamble sure plays well in the Trust. Sure, it’s not like doing, not doing as well as we’d like, but that means nothing new in this tape… See, the lesson’s clear, people. The P&Gs and the J&Js in your portfolio allow you to safely own the techs. They’re kind of like permits. But if you don’t take something off the table of the techs when you’re up big, I think you’re going to live to regret it.

The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) provides branded consumer goods across beauty, grooming, health care, home care, and family care. The company sells its products through renowned names such as Tide, Pampers, Gillette, Crest, Olay, and Febreze. During the May 11 episode, Cramer discussed the company, as he commented:

Back in 1999, we had some stocks of companies that would report upside surprises and quickly give up much of their post-earnings gains. Oh, there’s something we’re starting to see. Right now, I’m looking at PepsiCo and Procter & Gamble. They just gave up the ghost in a similar fashion in 1999. We own Procter for the Charitable Trust, and I’m so tempted to buy more, but there’s really no reason to believe the stock can start rebounding anytime soon, given the current environment. I’m not oblivious.
