Cal-Maine Foods [CALM Loading... () ]: PepsiCo [PEP Loading... () ], Coca-Cola [KO Loading... () ], General Mills [GIS Loading... () ], Kellogg [K Loading... () ] and Heinz [HNZ Loading... () ] are all better food stocks to own, Cramer said.

ConEd [ED Loading... () ]: “Pull the trigger!” ConEd gets Cramer’s blessing.

Time Warner [TWX Loading... () ]: “Problematic.” Cramer can’t recommend. Verizon’s a better play, he said.

Gushan [GU Loading... () ]: “One of the few Chinese stocks I like,” Cramer said.

Harley Davidson [HOG Loading... () ]: HOG isn’t the stock to own during a slowdown-recession, Cramer said.

Intuitive Surgical [ISRG Loading... () ]: “It’s just not going to quit yet.” Cramer said he thinks ISRG goes higher.

AstraZeneca [AZN Loading... () ]: This is one of the few big-cap pharma stocks that Cramer will recommend, he said.

Zimmer Holdings [ZMH Loading... () ]: Cramer doesn’t like the competition in Zimmer’s business, and the stock’s too expensive, he said. Don’t buy.

Rite Aid [RAD Loading... () ]: Cramer said he needs to see more from CEO Mary Sammons before he’ll recommend RAD.

Capital One [COF Loading... () ]: Husdon City Bancorp [HCBK Loading... () ], JPMorgan Chase [JPM Loading... () ] and Goldman Sachs [GS Loading... () ] – those are Cramer’s favorite financial stocks.

Onyx Pharma [ONXX Loading... () ]: “I can’t go for it right now,” Cramer said.

Sirius [SIRI Loading... () ]: Cramer had not call on SIRI other than to say the FCC is taking too long to allow the satellite radio company’s merger with XM [XM Loading... () ].

YRC Worldwide [YRCW Loading... () ]: “I’m still a rail guy,” Cramer said. Go with CSX instead.

Ford Motor [F Loading... () ]: “I only like the Ford preferred, not the common” [stock], Cramer said.

Triple-S Management [GTS Loading... () ]: “One of the few HMOs that is really working,” Cramer said. GTS is a buy.

Genesis Lease [GLS Loading... () ]: “It’s just not working,” Cramer said, because GLS can’t raise enough money to buy planes to lease. Don’t buy.

Capital Product [CPLP Loading... () ]: “Don’t know ‘em. Gotta take a rain check on CPLP.”
