Date updated:06-04-2009

Same-store sales numbers for May are in, with many retailers missing expectations and posting larger-than-expected losses. Target's (TGT) numbers fell 6.1%, compared with an expected 4.3% decline. Costco (COST) reported same-store sales down 7%, compared with an expected 6.4% loss.

Wal-Mart (WMT), which had lately posted positive results, is no longer reporting same-store sales, but there were a few other positive reports, including TJX (TJX), up 5%, and Aeropostale (ARO), up 19%.

In other Thursday news, Intel (INTC) announced a deal to buy Wind River Systems (WIND) for $11.50 a share, or $884 million, in an attempt to enter the wireless devices market.

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

"I like this healthy pullback in the Nasdaq, something I hope our colleague Dan Fitzpatrick weighs in on with his excellent look at the PowerShares QQQ (QQQQ) technicals, which he liked so much and I used as the basis of my "Off the Charts" segment on "Mad Money" -- by far the most popular segment I do."

"Maybe Valero (VLO) is just a really bad company. First, what's with the second-quarter loss? This should have been a golden moment for a refiner as they have been raising prices like mad and outages have allowed for some excellent gouging. Valero also bought back a gigantic amount of stock much higher -- perhaps the most aggressive buying of stock on the New York Stock Exchange -- and now it offers 40 million shares? That's a nightmare. Valero CEO William Klesse is going for a potential "Wall of Shame" entry." ("The 10% Pullback Mob," 6-3-09) ... Cramer added Willian Klesse, CEO of Valero (VLO), to his Wall Of Shame list of the worst CEOs. (Cramer's "Mad Money" Recap, 6-3-09)

"Anybody know why Bill Ackman didn't go after Saks (SKS)? Wouldn't that have been a better target? How about Liz Claiborne (LIZ)? Any back-of-the-envelope calculation would have told you that Target (TGT) is one of the few retailers that generated any wealth at all over the last 10 years.

"You can bank on it." "The bottom line," he said, "is that you need great management to run a steel company." Nucor's President, Chairman and CEO Dan DiMicco "does a great job."

03.10.10 | 23:44 PM Asked by shawnmks

A. my NAV is -71.40 which i'd say is pretty
dang good cause my NAV in 2007 was
-12,788.52........and i took a 7 month
vacation from work in 2009. as my fixed
income expires (cd's...with these low
rates, the money goes to revolving
credit, will build fixed income again
when debt is zero.) does free shares
gained from leaving profits on the table
and taking my money out of equities
(that pay divy's)count as fixed income?
and i don't count IRA money in my asset
allocation charts cause i won't see that
money for another 25 yrs. (in which this
money will be used to pay medical
expenses due to the the obamacare bill
in which i'll be at the age required for
end of life counciling, healthcare
benifits cut by government because of
retirement age) so....not much of my
money is being allocated into this buy n
hold play...screw them, i'm gonna enjoy
my life while i'm young.
here's a thought....the elderly (65 and
up) will spend thir retirement income
for healthcar in some other
country...all the preplanning for this
bill (and it's future income generating
abilities) hasn't really been thought
out has it?
