First, Retail sales were better than expected. Granted, they were down, but not as much as Cramer anticipated. With gas prices low, consumers are opening their wallets again, even if it’s at discount stores like Wal-Mart (WMT). This makes beaten-up stocks like Lowe’s (LOW), Costco (COST) and WMT attractive again, Cramer said, because there’s a chance for a rebound.

Second, Bank of America (BAC) joined Citigroup (C), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) in announcing that it, too, was profitable. These banks are making money again. If the government follows Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s suggestion to focus less on the bad loans these companies made, then we could add another 500 Dow points to the 239 we gained today, Cramer said.
