'Four Play'

EMKR  (EMCORE CORPORATION )
"Yesterday, I told you that Wall Street doesn't like confusing stocks.

Confusing companies can make you money, as long as they've got legs.  And that's why I think you should buy EMKR.

EMKR's a horse with not one, not two, not three, but four legs.  It's got four hot, must-own money making businesses, and I think it can make you some mad money.  EMKR - I just like the sound of it.  It's like the sound of money in the morning.  The smell of victory.

EMKR - it's got four things we love.  An optical components business that sells to CSCO.  A superior solar business.  A cell phone business on the day that Nokia says that business is healthy!   And an ultra-powerful, ultra energy-efficient lighting business that it's trying to commercialize.

Every single one of these is a business that I think you'd want to get your hands on.  If any one of these takes off, I think you could win.

This company is diversified into four businesses - four themes that we are all over on Cramer's Mad Money.

Optical business.  EMKR makes optical components and sub-systems.

Solar panel business. EMKR's solar business makes solar cells and panels for commercial satellite applications.  EMKR shouldn't have to worry about the polysilicon shortage problem.

Cell phone business.  Their business selling components and materials to cell phone companies  - losing money.  But it also grew revenues at 127% last qtr.  Sometimes we'll tolerate losses when we have stupendous accelerated revenue growth.

The last business, and perhaps the most exciting.  Developing next generation lighting with GE.  Their working on what's called high-brightness, light-emitting diode.  This is still new, but considering the size of GE and the strength of its brand, EMKR could make a lot of money here.

Cell phones, energy efficiency, alternative energy, optical networks.   Hey, c'mon!  Four bull markets; four bull markets in one!  EMKR has them all!

The bottom line:  this makes EMKR the potential holy grail stock for the next couple of years!"
