Stop Trading!: Hovnavian's Dividend Cut? Embarrassing.

Cramer can't understand how Hovnavian can tout its cash flows after reporting fourth-quarter numbers when the company canceled its preferred dividend to free up capital.

"To be proud of that is just downright embarrassing," he said during Stop Trading!.

And Hovnavian's [HOV  Loading...      ()   ] talk of being bought by Toll Brothers [TOL  Loading...      ()   ]? Not going to happen, according to Cramer.

The Mad Money host had been doing some touting of his own, constantly saying that VF Corp. [VFC  Loading...      ()   ] would make its quarterly expectations. But with the stock getting crushed, it wasn't until Wednesday afternoon when the retail outfit, which owns The North Face, Wrangler and others, affirmed its fourth-quarter outlook that Cramer earned the right to boast.
