Date updated:05-18-2009

Bank of America (BAC), Lowe's (LOW) and other stocks led the stock market higher on Monday, with all three major indices in the green in midday trading.

Bank of America was up after a Goldman Sachs analyst upgraded it to buy with a $15 price target.

Lowe's reported earnings of $476 million, or 32 cents a share, for the first quarter, beating expectations.

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

With that in mind, Cramer said he wasn't going to formulate a view on retail based on JC Penney's (JCP) earnings report today. "I look at something like what JC Penney says, and I can't make that determination," he said. ("Stop Trading!," 5-15-09)

Cramer said that the two greatest tells for gasoline have been Transocean (RIG) and Schlumberger (SLB). To make a forecast for gasoline, he said, he'd start by asking: "Where's Transocean going?" "Transocean has peaked out here, and that may mean that gasoline has stopped," he said. ("Stop Trading!," 5-15-09)
