Focus: Retail Stocks - Although Cramer does not recommend buying all of these retail stocks now, he has listed the top ten to watch and to buy when they bottom out. While these stocks may be a bit more costly on a valuation basis, Cramer says that they are consistently strong and are the retail stocks most likely to yield an excellent profit:

Best Buy (BBY): 'The best hard goods retailer in the US.'
Lowe's (LOW): 'smaller than Home Depot...but there is a lot of room to grow.'
Costco (COST):'cheapest and best-run of all the big warehouse stores.'
Men's Warehouse (MW): 'They keep rolling out concept after concept.'
Federated Department Stores (FD): This company owns Macy's Bloomingdale's and Lord Taylor. 'FD has the opportunity to turn a bunch of middle-of-the-road stores they bought from May into high-end Macy's and Bloomingdales.'
Sears Holding Corporation (SHLD): 'a big turnaround.'
JC Penney Corporation (JCP): 'great management, terrific attention to detail and they've got all the brands you want.'
Coldwater Creek (CWTR): ' it's a regional-to-national story...a lot of room to grow'
Starbucks (SBUX): They have expanded in the U.S. sufficiently, but are looking at China. '20% of Starbucks sales will be pouring out of China 2 years from now.'
Commerce Bancorp (CBH): This bank is 'run like a retailer...will benefit bigtime from all of those Banks of NY that are going to JP Morgan... (CBH) capitalizes opportunistically on the disruption'

There was no "Lightning Round" tonight, as Cramer is preparing for the "Back to School Show" at Columbia University.
