Cramer says: “I do not believe that Obama has enough votes. So I’m not as concerned. I also think it’s going to be put off until after December. That said, if what you described happens, absolutely. Which is one of the reasons why I hedged my bets for my charitable trust, and I own a stock like a Pepsi [PEP

Cramer: Thank you for all you do for the little guy! Now that the market has been moving up, up, up, what is the story with the reinstatement of the up-tick rule? Has everyone forgotten about the need for this? --Dave in New York
Cramer says: “I think that Mary Schapiro, the SEC … I think they’re trying to figure out what the right thing to do is.

Cramer says: “You are what’s known as being overly diversified. I always like to call people like you a mutual fund. Remember, you have to cut down to the number of stocks that you can research … I want you to go by sector. I want you to cut. If you have two in one sector, I want you to take the best one and sell the worst one. Work like that, get down to five sectors, with two per sector at max.”

Cramer says: Yahoo! “is so far behind the rest of the market that it’s playing catch-up. I continue to believe that Yahoo! plays catch-up to $20-$21. I don’t like the massive slamming of Carol Bartz. I think she’s trying to do a good job … let’s see what she does.”
