Ford (F), General Motors (GM), Wal-Mart (WMT), Ruth's Chris Steak House (RUTH): Although Wal-Mart is not looking so good and car sales reported by F and GM are "ghastly," Cramer tells investors not to give in to a hard landing scenario, even as Friday's selloff may have dampened some bullishness. His recommendation is to "back up the truck and buy healthcare stocks," particularly HMOs, biotechs and drugmakers, all of which are resilient in the face of recession and have good multiples. "Buy what does well when the economy's slow," said Cramer who suggested looking at stocks with good dividends and to be careful of Treasury bonds because of declining interest rates. On a side note, Cramer said that he likes Ruth Chris' CEO Craig Miller, who is willing to make unpopular moves to provide good returns for his shareholders.
