"I don't want to bury the punchline, but when you add these worst-case prices together you get Dow Jones 8378, which,reluctantly, I admit is where we are going if everything fails with the plan and the economies here and worldwide are left to their own devices. Let's run through the Dow 30." - Jim Cramer

  • CAT
    Caterpillar Inc
  • $59.68
  • +2.21%
  • $59.24

Caterpillar (CAT) can retreat back to $43 where it started both before the housing boom and before the energy boom and before BRIC became a dominant force. All of its markets will be challenged with housing downturns worldwide and energy prices retreating from highs, something that I think will happen as economies slow.

    Citigroup Inc
  • $4.10
  • -0.24%
  • $4.15

Citigroup (C) -- $14. This is where it traded before the short-selling rules were created on July 15, and this is where it is going without a financing and a big investment. It might not stop there if there is no relief at all. I am really bearish on this stock without a plan.

    Du Pont E I De Ne
  • $35.10
  • 0.00%
  • $N/A

Du Pont (DD) has a lot of businesses that are less cyclical than people think and a safe dividend. I would be surprised if it went much below $40, where I would like to buy it.

  • AXP
    Amer Express Inc
  • $41.30
  • -1.27%
  • $42.21

American Express (AXP) has turned into a terrible lender with a product that is viewed as something that is no longer indispensable, courtesy great marketing by Mastercard (MA) and Visa (V). This stock's headed to $31, maybe lower, as it is really a weak sister in the Dow now.

People owning AXP also tend to own: AIGALLBACBRK-BCCOFFNM

  • DIS
    Walt Disney-disne
  • $30.73
  • +1.69%
  • $30.44

Disney (DIS) traded at $25 when people thought there was nothing to it other than a declining advertising business and an expensive group of theme parks. This is a company I will buy for Action Alerts PLUS if it hits that downside target.

People owning DIS also tend to own: CBSGOOGNWSTWXVIAYHOOAAPL

  • UTX
    United Tech
  • $68.00
  • +1.13%
  • $68.00

United Technologies (UTX) is a BRIC derivative for certain with too much aerospace and a defense business that could be hurt by an Obama election. Knock it back to $51, which would be a repeal of the whole BRIC move.

People owning UTX also tend to own: BMYBNSCLXCVXDDDEIBM

  • KO
    Coca Cola Co The
  • $58.08
  • +1.54%
  • $57.59

Coca-Cola (KO) talked recently about how it is not immune from a retail sales slowdown; when it did, the stock retreated to about $48, where it would surely be headed again.

People owning KO also tend to own: AAAIGIBMINTCJNJJPMMSFT

  • MMM
    3m Company
  • $78.63
  • +1.54%
  • $77.85

3M (MMM) is a play on worldwide growth in a number of industrial areas, and worldwide growth is on the decline beyond what this fine firm is ready for. It could have a huge decline in earnings, and I am putting it at $50.

People owning MMM also tend to own: AAADPAVPBACBRK-BBUDCSCO
