Cramer expressed his disappointment with the Fed’s “dinky” quarter point rate cut and declared the Bernanke is out of touch with reality. He suggested investors play by the rules of 1990 and retreat to defensive stocks, such as KO, PEP, MRK and MO. “Don’t panic, but take cover in recession stock,” Cramer said.
Four Horsemen of China: Focus Media (FMCN), Baidu (BIDU), PetroChina (PTR), China Mobile (CHL)
Given his disillusionment with the Fed, Cramer decided to focus on global stocks and focused on one of his Four horsemen of China, Focus Media. (Other horsemen include Baidu, PetroChina, and China Mobile). The market is uneasy about FMCN’s acquisition of its competitor CGEN Digital because of concerns over margins, but Cramer likes the deal because it resembles monopoly-building. Its acquisition of Allyes AdNetwork, an internet advertising company, has been successful, and Cramer predicts Google might want to buy a stake in FMCN. CGEN Digital will be integrated smoothly and margins will improve, according to Cramer, but he added the stock could fall slightly because of integration risk. He would get into FMCN at its next dip and predicts it will rise from $54.86 to $75.

What a Gas: Air Products & Chemicals (APD)
A recent Wall Street Journal article discussed the worldwide shortage of helium, which is available only in a few places. This gives APD an opportunity to raise prices, and since the stock had dropped and received a downgrade from JPMorgan, Cramer would take advantage of the opportunity to buy. APD has already made the move from $80 to $100, and according to Cramer’s thesis, it is headed for $120 and higher.

Cramer started the Lightning Round by recommending that holders of Baidu.com (BIDU) and Focus Media (FMCN) take some profits off the table. The holders of these stocks should sell half their holdings.

Bullish:
Cisco (CSCO) is a better choice than Arris Group
Procter & Gamble (PG)
AK Steel (AKS): Cramer recommended owning AKS on the potential for a takeover.
Go with Wynn (WYNN) and Las Vegas Sands (LVS) instead
Republic Services (RSG): Likes it but would go with Waste Management (WMI) is the best-of-breed stock in this space.
Altria (MO): Stick with it and buy more if it goes below $65.
Intuitive Surgical (ISRG): "One of the great growers."

Cramer started off by saying that it's important to buy stocks that will bounce back the hardest.
CBRL Group (CBRL): operator of the iconic Cracker Barrel restaurant chain. Cramer believes that the company is in a good position after revamping their menus and buying back a ton of stock. They had the biggest buyback in percentage of shares outstanding of any company at 54% over the past year. Cramer is crazy about the buyback.
He then took a couple of calls: One caller asked about Brinker International (EAT), which Cramer doesn't like at all. Another caller asked about Wendy's (WEN) and Cramer said don't even look at Wendy's. He suggested that he get in McDonald's (MCD) instead because it is best of breed.
Yesterday, Cramer discussed how Best Buy is leveraging their growth by expanding international. Tuesday he discussed Textron Inc. (TXT). He feels that its Cessna unit will have large worldwide demand in the upcoming years. Honeywell (HON), a company that has been very successful at forecasting the aircraft business, predicts record sales of business jets, Cessna's "bread and butter." Cramer said the rest of the world will soon surpass America in business jet sales, which makes Textron a solid business-jet play.
Before Cramer started the Lightning Round, he recommended that holders of Baidu.com (BIDU) and Focus Media (FMCN) take some profits off the table. The holders of these stocks should sell half their holdings.
In the next segment, Cramer talked about a defense stock that was booted from the NYSE, but will profit from the new defense budget. The stock is Navistar (NAVZ.PK). Cramer also likes Cummins (CMI) and PACCAR (PCAR) in this sector, but Navistar has a lower multiple.
Next, Cramer had John Dioniso, the CEO of AECOM (ACM) on the phone. Cramer has been recommending the stock, and the company has been delivering profits so far. In his opinion, Cramer thinks Aecom is "money in the bank."
Sudden Death:
Brookfield Asset Management (BAM): "Keep buying!"
Spartan Motors (SPAR): No, buy Navistar (NAVZ.PK) instead.

Bullish:
Cisco (CSCO): if you want to be in tech.
J.C. Penney (JCP): He thinks that this stock is undervalued and is a buy at this price.
Integrated oil companies like ConocoPhillips (COP), Chevron (CVX), and Exxon Mobil (XOM) are better plays.
American Eagle (AEO), Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) or Aeropostale (ARO), in that order.
Kellogg (K): Cramer is bullish on Kellogg, as well as General Mills (GIS) and ConAgra (CAG).
Cramer is sticking with Baidu.com (BIDU) as the best China play.
Cramer likes NVIDIA (NVDA), Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intel (INTC)

Bearish:
Xerox (XRX)
American Capital Strategies (ACAS): Cramer's undecided on the stock, so he's avoiding it.
Tesoro (TSO): Cramer thinks gas prices aren't high enough to be in a refiner,
Luxottica (LUX): "Don’t buy!"
Hot Topic (HOTT)
Aluminum Corp. of China (ACH)
American Superconductor (AMSC)
