Cramer's Stop Trading! Airgas Buoyed by Optimism (10/1/09)

Stocks discussed on Jim Cramer's Stop Trading! TV Segment, Thursday October 1.

Airgas (ARG), Kimberly Clark (KMB),

Airgas CEO Peter McCausland admits to getting mixed messages about the economy from clients: some auto and metal companies are laying off workers while others are calling their employees back. However, McCausland sees reason to be optimistic because of the number of trucks on the road and the "nice pick up in sales the last 30 days."

If the market heads lower, Cramer recommends Clorox and Kimberly Clark, emphasizing the latter for its international exposure which protects it from the weak dollar, and its solid dividend.

"If the market’s predicting a recession,” Cramer said, KMB “should be going higher.”

who pays any more attention to Cramer ? Be ready , because sometimes next week, maybe Monday, he will tell you to sell
KMB and ARG . He is an entertainer for some but no educator as he pretends to be.

Ms. Metzinger, I don't drop by your column all that often and in all due respect, it's because of the title. If you just changed it to "Cramer Stop Talking!", I'd bet it would be a hit.
