Wednesday’s Stop Trading! turned into a mini-Lightning Round of sorts, as “Street Signs” host Erin Burnett rattled off a list of stocks for Cramer to judge.

Wall Street’s missing the big picture when it comes to Shaw Group [SGR  Loading...      ()   ] and other infrastructure names, Cramer said, referencing the company’s dip after reporting earnings today. Shaw has about $1 trillion worth of orders to bid on, but investors insist on focusing on the short rather than the long term. His advice: Wait until tomorrow to see if there are any cuts in earnings estimates, and then buy SGR.

Don’t touch Circuit City [CC  Loading...      ()   ], Cramer said. Best Buy [BBY  Loading...      ()   ] is best in show. Still, there are few retailers he said he’s willing to recommend. At least not while UPS’s [UPS  Loading...      ()   ] poor outlook threatens the sector’s monthly same-store sales. (Fewer deliveries by UPS could mean lower online sales, and, as a result, sales in general, for all retailers.) Costco [COST  Loading...      ()   ], Urban Outfitters [URBN  Loading...      ()   ] and Wal-Mart [WMT  Loading...      ()   ] are Mad Money favorites. Other than those, “I don't want anyone to think that I'm recommending any retail stock,” he said.

Lastly, Cramer had an unfavorable view of Cisco Systems [CSCO  Loading...      ()   ], at least in the short term. “The numbers keep coming down,” he said. “The stock's going to go back to $21-$22." 

Cisco’s trading at $23 and change today with less than an hour left before the market closes.
