If Bank of America [BAC  Loading...      ()   ] buys Countrywide Financial [CFC  Loading...      ()   ] it will be “exactly what the Fed wants,” Cramer said on Thursday’s Stop Trading!. “This is what happens at the bottom.”

The notion that the financials are at or near a bottom was bolstered by the news Wednesday that Berkshire Hathaway [BRK  Loading...      ()   ] could swoop in and buy a large bond insurer like MBIA [MBI  Loading...      ()   ] or Ambac [ABK  Loading...      ()   ]. Long a safe haven for the shorts, there just may be some hope yet for these battered down stocks, Cramer said.

Good news might also be on the horizon for the airlines – possibly the one industry more loathed than the financials. Cramer predicted he could be recommending the lot within a month, but he specifically called out AMR [AMR  Loading...      ()   ] (parent of American Airlines), saying it may be “worth a lot.”
