US Steel : Go with Nucor instead, Cramer said.

Fortune Brands : Cramer likes Fortune, but he thinks the stock has run too much. So Home Depot might be the better play, he said.

Hot Topic : HOTT is a buy, Cramer said.

Limited Brands : Cramer is bullish on LTD.

Duff & Phelps : Stay away from DUF for now, Cramer said.






Cramer's charitable trust owns Home Depot and Nucor.
