2007-12-10 17:22:00 The Fuel is Greener: Deere (DE), Monsanto (MON), Bunge (BG), Mosaic (MOS), Agrium (AGU), Potash (POT)When looking at the agriculture bull market, Cram er urged investors to think energy and not food. As oil prices rise, the pressure to develop alternative fuels from soybeans and corn will increase.

"All of these gains have been driven by demand," Cramer said and sees years of upside in this sector. However, since many agriculture stocks have already increased substantially, Cramer would wait for a decline before buying many of them.Still Time for NYSE Euronext (NYX)While NYX has been the worst performing stock Cramer has seen in 26 years in the business, he would stay with it.

Jim Cramer's Wall Street Confidential Dec. 6th
More articles from this author:2007-12-07 19:33:00 Cramer was pleased that now investors have more clarity about bad collateralized debt obligations, and now know that any loans issued and purchased by Fremont General (FMT), Novastar, New Century Financial, American Home Mortgage, and Washington Mutual (WM) are bad. The bad home equity issued between 2005 and 2007 might have been purchased as E*Trade, Wells Fargo and Citigroup."You have to take charge and get them off your books very quickly," Cramer warned. "We got this at Wells Fargo and that's great.""We're finally getting clarity," he said. "We know that loans that were purchased from these clowns can't be owned. But it also means that we can purchase pieces of paper that may have been from 2001 to 2004 and 2007 paper beginning in July is safe, too."
