Honeywell (HON), Caterpillar (CAT), Parker-Hannifin (PH), IBM (IBM),Verizon (VZ), AT & T (T), Nokia (NOK), Microsoft (MSFT), Bank of America (BAC), Wachovia (WB): Cramer does not believe that the U.S is in recession and pointed out HON, CAT and PH are rallying in expectation of more cuts. He also noted the KBW Bank Index and PHLX Housing Sector Index are also up. The problem lies not with stocks doing well, such as IBM, VZ, T, NOK and MSFT, but with the banks, he said and believes more cuts are needed to rescue financials; 'the losses that we saw for the quarterlies from a Bank of America or a Wachovia... I genuinely feel that we are too close to the precipice to stop.'

InterContintental Exchange Inc (ICE) CME (CME): On news of a possible merger between CME and ICE, Cramer said "What the heck is ICE doing down?" The stock dropped 30 points and lost much of its gain since Cramer initially recommended the stock. However, he would buy CME and ICE and thinks the stocks are being hit by temporary negativity.

Newsweek and Barron's are right. I turn the channel as soon as Cramer's show comes on. It is the worst show on CNBC, unless you like to lose money. Then it would be the best. Cramer is a flake and only a fool would listen to him. He must have been very lucky when he ran the hedge fund, cause he is the worst I have ever seen as far as stock picks are concerned. CNBC should cancel his show. I own GE and Cramer is surely not an asset to my company.

By the way, when MOT was in the 20's Cramer raved about it!!! When AMD was in the mid 20's Cramer raved about it. When SHLD was in the low 100's he called it the next Berkshire Hathaway. His stupid recommendations are too numerous to count.
