On his Aug. 25 "Mad Money" show, Cramer said that he remained bullish on banks, particularly those heavy into homeownerships, such as Bank of America and Wells Fargo (WFC), both of which he owns for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust. In an Aug. 28 post to his RealMoney blog, Cramer wrote that usually in a speculative market, "people get burned burned quickly," but in this market the speculators are "cleaning up" and "making gains of a lifetime." He continued: "Look, for anyone who took a flier on virtually anything that looked bankrupt, Huntington Bancshares (HBAN), Fifth Third (FITB), KeyCorp (KEY), Regions Financial (RF), Textron (TXT), Genworth (GENW), Ford (F), Hartford (HIG), Principal Financial (PFG), Bank of America, they all paid off. Big."

On his Aug. 25 "Lightning Round," Cramer said that he thought a viewer's speculation on Dana Holding (DAN) was "right," and he also liked Ford. On "Mad Money" on Aug. 27, Cramer said that he liked Borg Warner (BWA) as a company, but he recommended selling the stock. He also liked Ford's preferred shares, but overall he thought the auto sector needed a breather.

In an Aug. 27 blog post called "Kennedy's Death Changes the Game," Cramer wrote: "I continue to believe that Wellpoint (WLP), UnitedHealth (UNH) Cigna (CI), Aetna and Humana (HUM) can be bought off this Senate shift."

"To which I say, live by the Chinese sword, buy by the Chinese sword. On days like today I hope the futures take Procter (PG) and Altria (MO) down -- two companies with little and no exposure in China. I have to see if Union Pacific (UNP) will let me back in, or maybe 3M (MMM). No hope that Freeport (FCX) will ever get back to where I want it." "Buy the China Selloff," Aug. 31, 2009
