Lightning Round: Harman, Altria, E*Trade and More

Cramer started Tuesday's Lightning Round with a mini Sell Block. He recommended taking profts in Baidu.com and Focus Media, which are up 116% and 28% respectively since June 13. Holders of BIDU should sell enough to regain the capital invested but let the rest run, he said. Owners of Focus should take half off the table.
