Matchmaking Banks: Procter & Gamble (PG) and Gillette - Cramer says that "A company wants to grow when it feels its current growth is tapped," and goes to investment banks to make the match. For example, PG does not reach out to Gillette, but there is a middleman involved in the acquisition.

IPO Guide: MasterCard (MA), iRobot (IRBT) - Cramer says that IPOs are good when they come from companies early in the business cycle, and notes the success of MC, a company few people had confidence in, but which has won big.

He also likes companies, such as banks, that "gingerly" go public. Cramer suggests looking for IPOs in aerospace, but to avoid biotech or tech.

Foreign Exchange: Tata Motors (TTM), Wipro (WIT), America Movil (AMX), Bancolombia (CIB), Homex Development (HXM), Colgate (CL) - Concerning foreign IPOs, Cramer stays away from China, because they do not have a Securities and Exchange Commission, and only insiders succeed.
