Dear Jim & Co.: Thank you all for your brilliant show - I cry bitterly if I miss it. You talked for a week about private equity and takeovers - thank you. As a new investor, it was great - I bought both aQuantive [AQNT Loading... () ] and ValueClick [VCLK Loading... () ] and AQNT doubled within a month. You did a fantastic job teaching us about takeovers, but now that AQNT has been taken over, how do I decide what to do with it? Can you help? Thanks for the TV kiss on Wednesday Jim; your kiss and your advice really make me swoon! --Rev. Jill

Cramer says: “aQuantive is done. We need to find the next aQuantive.” Book the gains and sell it right now, he recommends. And congratulations on pulling the trigger!

Dear Jim: Why does a stock like Sun Microsystems [SUNW Loading... () ], that is such an underperformer and receives little respect from investors, land at or near the top of trading volume on a daily basis? The stock is very actively traded yet moves very little. I'd appreciate your explanation of this seemingly contradictory phenomenon. --Adam

Cramer says: “I think Sun has bottomed. I’m waiting for a catalyst to get it to move.” Sun is a legacy name, left over from the old days, that everone hopes is going to turn around, he says. It’s inexpensive until you look at previous earnings.

Dear Jim: A big New Jersey Boo-yah and an ex-marine Hooyah to yah... Booyah hoorah!! My son is 14 and we both love your show. He is all into going green, saving energy and saving the earth. He recently showed me a headline of Raser Technologies [RZ Loading... () ]. They recently won an award for something to do with hybrid vehicles. The company also is into geothermal exploration and powering motors. He tells me to buy some. Can you give me and your other viewers some insight on a possible up-and-comer in saving our earth!!! --Bob

Cramer says: “RZ is too speculative for me. Let me counter that I think Corning [GLW Loading... () ] has a diesel engine that’s better.” Corning also has real earnings, he says, while Raser does not. Even though Corning is sitting at a 52-week high, Cramer thinks it’s the way to go.

Jim's charitable trust owns Corning.
