(NASDAQ:AEP) factored into the discussion back then as Cramer remarked that investors jittery of firms with international exposure could turn to those with a US exposure, such as utilities. This time, he discussed American Electric Power Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:AEP)’s share price performance:

“Take a look at American Electric Power which is, if you put up the chart of American Electric Power, AEP, you’re going to see, it’s a stock that looks very much like Intel, 1997 to 1999. I mean AEP’s one of the great performers of this period, now it’s starting to come down because people realize, well wait a second, if someone puts a cap on AEP that would be devastating.”

Here is what Cramer said about American Electric Power Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:AEP) on April 3rd:

“There’s always money to go somewhere. I think the money’s going to heavily to the American Electric Powers, the Entergys, the utilities, to the companies that have pricing power like Proctor, JNJ. And will flee the areas where it’s so hard for companies to get out of areas.”
