On Wednesday's "Stop Trading!" segment, Cramer said there was an "all-at-once retail thing going on," which saw companies such as Tiffany and Williams Sonoma (WSM) rising at the same time as companies such as Dollar Tree (DLTR) and Family Dollar (FDO). "Tell me if you really need anything at Williams Sonoma," he said. "That can't be going up if people are in a recession."

  • $35.63

In a post yesterday to his RealMoney blog, Cramer said he worries less than he used to about the "incessant trading" in stocks such as CIT (CIT), Fannie Mae (FNM) and Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) because "when we used to have rules and government officials that were willing to speak the truth about stocks we wouldn't have these single-digit players out there every day." Without that, though, he said, "is it really uninformed speculation?" As for AIG, he wrote: "Here's a stock that's doubled, or if you want to think about it presplit it has gone from one to two. Why? Because its CEO, a respected one, Robert Benmosche, basically pledged that the company would pay back all of the money owed the government and be profitable."
