He blamed skittish traders who were late to realize just how dire the situation was before Bernanke dropped interest rates 50 basis points.

].
The two companies are collaborating on a new venture called American Living, an aspirational apparel and home products line. “It’s going to be huge,” Cramer said, and should give a healthy boost to the stocks. Luckily for investors, both JCP and RL are down – 41% and 26% year-over-year, respectively – setting up a great buy-in price.
J.C. Penney CEO Mike Ullman expects American Living to be a billion-dollar concept, and Cramer said he believes chief executive. So with opportunities like that in the market, negativity equals stupidity, he said, adding that these two companies are the market’s new leaders.
“I say buy them both,” Cramer said.
