Date updated:04-13-2009
After an extra day's rest over the long weekend, stocks opened on the downside on Monday.
One of the morning's big movers was General Motors (GM), which was down almost 16% on more bankruptcy speculation.
Earnings season is gaining momentum, with retailer Talbots (TLB) reporting today and Intel (INTC), Goldman Sachs (GS) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) scheduled for Tuesday.
Also making headlines was online auctioneer eBay (EBAY), with reports that it will buy a stake in Korean e-commerce company Gmarket (GMKT). eBay was downgraded to sell on Monday by a Collins Stewart analyst.
With this in mind, we thought we'd take a look at some of the stocks making headlines recently and see what Jim Cramer's had to say about them.

-
WMT
Wal Mart Stores - $51.25
- -0.06%
- $51.03
"Retail sales weren't even that good. As I go over each comp number and I factor in the calendar change from last year's Easter shift -- extra day in March -- I come back with the startling thought that the only really good number was Wal-Mart (WMT). That's right, Wal-Mart." ("Retail = No Sale," 4-9-09)

JWN
Nordstrom Inc - $33.93
- +0.03%
- $33.58
"Of course, that means it was all the expectations game. The other guys had taken down expectations to the point that their horrid numbers looked good, especially Nordstrom's (JWN), but Kohl's (KSS) and J.C. Penney (JCP) weren't so hot either. Abercrombie's (ANF) were terrible, the worst I have seen, but you could never lower them enough!" ("Retail = No Sale," 4-9-09)

Kohls Cp - $56.68
- +1.30%
