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.
