On Tuesday, General Electric (GE) finance arm GE Capital said it loaned $400 million to Sears Holdings (SHLD), part of a total of $4 billion loaned to the retailer to be used as working capital.

Bank of America (BAC) was also making headlines on Tuesday after announcing that it has raised almost $33 billion since the results of the government's stress tests were revealed less than a month ago.

General Motors (GM), which filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday, said it has found a purchaser for its Hummer brand but did not reveal the particulars of the deal.

With this in mind, we thought we'd take a look at some of the stocks in the news today and see what Jim Cramer's had to say about them lately.

"People want Sears (SHLD) because they want to play companies that will benefit coming out of a recession and are still solvent. They want Johnson Controls (JCI) because they need some play on autos because the auto market is coming back." ("Saftey Last," 6-1-09) ... Finally, Cramer recommended Sears (SHLD) as a play on "a return to the mall." He said that no one believes in the stock, but "they bought back a lot of stock" and the stock has been going up "pretty consistently." He call it "one of the best-acting retailers out there."

Cramer offered another trade on the back of General Motors' (GM Quote) bankruptcy filing: Johnson Controls (JCI Quote), which he said is a "very well-run company." Cramer said that Johnson Controls is a play on a turn in the auto industry. "I've been waiting for the auto industry to slow down," he said, to a point where people fill the risk is out.
