Bullish calls:

TJX Companies (TJX): “Citigroup says that TJX shares look pricy... Hey, Cramer says Citigroup’s shares look pricy! I like TJX. They're executing... they're doing a great job. It's one of my favorite retailers …No way am I backing away!”
Urban Outfitters (URBN)
Rofin-Sinar Technologies (RSTI): “I think that the industrial side of lasers are the only ones I like. I know people didn't like that last quarter. I do. I'd buy the stock.”
Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (SID): “It is absolutely one of my favorite steel companies.”
Schnitzer Steel (SCHN): “I think, eventually, they get bought …That company is in the sweet spot of steel. You stay long that company!”
Verizon (VZ), AT&T (T)
Lockheed Martin (LMT): “ I think you've got ten points coming there. A big buyback... a well-run company.”
Frontline (FRO): “ If I'm going to recommend a tanker stock, it's going to be Frontline Ltd.”
Triple-S Management (GTS): “That stock dropped precipitously, and, when I did the work on it, I thought that it was just a real buy... I want you to pick that up... Buy, buy, buy!... I think it's a great situation.”

Bearish calls:

Toyota Motor (TM): “You can't own any of the auto companies. There is just too much disarray in that group.”
eBay (EBAY): “That company is not run well enough for you to buy it up on a spike.”
Iowa Telecommunications (IWA): “This is one of those telephone companies without the growth.”
American Capital Strategies (ACAS): “ …it does a lot of mezzanine financing, which could be a very tough thing in a recession, so I'm going to stick with a don't buy.”
Eagle Bulk Shipping (EGLE)
Bare Essentials (BARE): “I don't want you to be in BARE... I want you to sell, sell, sell!...”

    The 'management' at eBay has managed to turn a snowball into an avalanche. The avalanche of GOOD sellers leaving the site and seeking safer ground, will eventually bury eBay.

    While Cramer is being a bear with ACAS, I'm still collecting the dividends. Ahhhh, thanks!

    I remember that this Lenin-look alike was dissing FRO last year. "High dividend must be a sign that company is in trouble". Not that he can remember anything past one week...Everyone can be wrong sometimes, but Cramer excelled in being wrong most of the time, as a matter of fact, his advice cannot even beat S&P average according to Barron's. Isn't there a site where his picks are usually losing to a chimp that picks stocks at random?

    Dear seekingalpha editor, how many times does James Cramer have to discredit himself before you remove his gibberish from this Web site? Shouldn't he syndicate to Oprah or something?

    If ACAS loses share price, it will most likely be because the institutionals who need cash to avoid the fate of Bear Sterns are selling shares. I noticed Merril Lynch was a big stockholder. I think Cramer avoiding ACAS is a good reason to buy while it is down.
