Jim Cramer's Mad Money Review

Kroger (KR): "I'm concerned about the supermarkets. The margins are getting squeezed. I cannot endorse that group."
First Solar (FSLR): "First solar remains the least expensive way to play solar. I want you to stay in it, but I want you to buy more at a lower price."
Imax Corp (IMAX): "I've been wrong on this one. It's been moving, but I still won't recommend this one. "
Sina Corp (SINA): "I have been staying away from China. It's too explosive and too crazy, I don't want to lose people money."
Fluor (FLR): "This stock exploded last week and then went up again today. Ring the register and get into Foster Wheeler (FWLT). This one's just too expensive."
International Paper (IP): "No, no, I like Weyerhaeuser (WY) more, and I like Temple-Inland (TIN) more. IP is just not well run."
Emcore (EMKR): "Fiber-optic play, over-crowded segment. I don't want to go with that one. I like ADC Telecommunications (ADCT) and that's it."
Reliant Energy (RRI): "I don't know. It's not my favorite. I'd steer you toward Dynegy (DYN) instead."

Wall Street stumbled through a lopsided session Wednesday, closing mixed as profit warnings and news from blue chip names Alcoa Inc. and Boeing Co. dragged down the Dow Jones industrial average but largely spared technology stocks.
A pullback was to be expected after the Dow and the Standard & Poor's 500 index finished at new highs Tuesday amid enthusiasm over comments from Federal Reserve policymakers about interest rates, but corporate news appeared to hasten Wednesday's slide.
Declines by Dow components Boeing and Alcoa, among others, hurt the 30-stock index. Meanwhile, International Paper Co. and Chevron Corp. moved lower on profit news.
With investors thumbing through fresh quarterly results and corporate announcements, the latest economic readings did little to dislodge the dichotomy between blue chips and tech stocks. A report showed inventories among U.S. wholesalers ticked up in August, while a trade group for real estate agents warned the drop in sales of existing homes this year will be steeper than had been expected.
The stock market's uneven but still relatively calm trading Wednesday followed a surge the day before that was sparked by release of the minutes from the Fed's last meeting. Wall Street initially was ebullient that the Fed didn't appear to rule out further rate cuts but, on reflection, some investors seemed to be questioning whether that response was a little too optimistic.
