Jim Cramer's Stop Trading! Stock Picks and Comments, Sept. 6

Recap of Jim Cramer’s comments on Stop Trading! Wednesday September 6.Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:

Occidental (OXY), Marathon (MRO) Colgate (CL) and General Mills (GIS): The fact that the big oil names OXY and MRO were both down 5% demonstrates that the economy can't maintain high oil prices, and indicates that it is time to buy defensive stocks such as CL and GIS.

General Motors (GM) and Ford (F): Cramer notes that GM is shaping up, which was demonstrated by a 3% rally on Wednesday. He expects the stock to hit $35 or $40. However, Cramer is doubtful about Ford's comeback, in spite of the fact that it has risen from its lows this summer. What troubles Cramer about Ford is the resignation of former Treasury Secretary, Bob Rubin, and Cramer does not think it is because of a conflict of interest with Citibank (C). "Is Ford just doing much worse than we think?" he asks.

On Wednesday's "Real Money Radio Recap," Sept. 6, Cramer is more optimistic about Ford's prospects.
