Jim Cramer's Stop Trading! Stock Picks and Comments, Oct. 30

Recap of Jim Cramer’s comments on Stop Trading! Monday October 30. Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:

Verizon (VZ) and Comcast (CMCSA): Cramer believes that investors should give Verizon the benefit of the doubt and has confidence in CEO Ivan Seidenberg's $22 billion fiber-optic expansion project and the company's potential triple play of phone, video and internet. He says that the 3.5% decline is an opportunity to buy. Cramer also says that VZ is a good stock for its 4.5% dividend and he thinks that CMCSA has growth potential.

Yahoo (YHOO) and Microsoft (MSFT): Although Cramer says he is stuck with Yahoo, a Merrill Lynch report has indicated that the stock is a possible takeover target for Microsoft. The best way to improve the company, added Cramer, is for CEO Terry Semel and CFO Sue Decker to "take a permanent vacation."
