Cramer has something to say about YELL, but I don't have a subscription. (I'm also curious what he said about Cendant today (CD) if anybody can paraphrase it. Thanks.)

Time to Make a Stand on Yellow
Thursday February 5, 3:12 pm ET

By James J. Cramer, RealMoney Columnist

Everyone hates Yellow (NasdaqNM:YELL - News) now that its merger with Roadway (ROAD - News) seems so wrong. People have been saying that Yellow management is stupid or corrupt or incapable.

To which I say, "Give me a break." I think that Bill Zollars is one of the finest and smartest executives around. I think that the Roadway people messed up and that Zollars has been paying for it ever since.

Re Yell: well at least the Roadway division did loose market share the last quarter. I am not sure if this can be fixed easily. YELL is certainly inexpensive at about 10x earnings. From the competitors i like Overnite (OVNT) the most, it's a recent IPO so the operating history is fairly short. It trades at a P/E of 13 and is non-union. I will watch both stocks for now, I am not in a hurry to be too aggressive right now.

Uhhg. Should have waited covering the BPT short a little longer :-(.
