In Wednesday’s Stop Trading!, Cramer expressed some concerns and picked favorites in the emerging markets, made the case for new clean energy plays and comments on some minor upgrades that are having a major impact.
Where To Go In Emerging Markets
With all the buzz about emerging markets focusing on China these days, Cramer is prescribing a healthy dose of caution. When everyone is talking about a country like China, you have to step back for a moment and realize that the China position is no longer a contrarian position, Cramer says.

], and these stocks are acting as if they’re small-cap stocks, making big moves on what Cramer sees to have been minor reports. Cramer says to buy P&G and McDonalds, as the swings in the US dollar are ramping up business for these companies.
A previous version of this story listed Rio Tinto as a Brazilian company. The correct firm was Companhia Vale do Rio Doce.
