“Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) made a terrible call by downgrading Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:KMB) Monday,” Jim Cramer said on Tuesday’s “Stop Trading!” TV show. Goldman went negative on KMB due to rising pulp costs and advised investors to sell the stock along with other personal-care products firms. Cramer thinks Goldman’s call was dumb since Kimberly just raised its dividend and management just reaffirmed the numbers. Cramer had positive comments for Domino’s Pizza Inc. (NYSE:DPZ), after the company reported a strong fourth-quarter earnings that beat consensus expectations. He explained that the company has benefited large from a recent  controversial ad campaign that first started on YouTube.com. “It’s the greatest PR coup I’ve seen in years,” Cramer said. “You’re seeing a monster quarter and I think it’s the first of many.” Finally, Cramer mentioned that EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT) recent land purchase of a gigantic chunk of the Marcellus Shale is a steal. “Anyone who bought a part of Marcellus and drilled there has seen their stock jump,” Cramer said. “EQT goes higher.” Get the scoop on tomorrow’s hottest trade ideas – TODAY!

On Monday, Jim Cramer said the decision by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) to upgrade natural gas is incredibly interesting because this may indicate some type of nat gas legislation is coming soon out of Washington.”You don’t make this call, unless you have some conviction,” he said. Cramer told viewers to look at Southwestern Energy Company (NYSE:SWN) because its the largest pure play driller left to be acquired. “The natural gas driller is like XTO Energy Inc. (NYSE:XTO), which got a bid from Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM),” he said. Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ:TSCO) was upgraded by Piper Jaffray, and Cramer said this stock could have great momentum. He called TSCO a buy and said there is pent-up demand for gardening supplies. Usually that bodes well for The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE:SMG), but Cramer said TSCO has better momentum. Moving on to the exchange sector, Cramer pointed out that NYSE Euronext (NYSE:NYX) has a good yield and looks to be breaking out. “If so, the stock will go higher,” he said.

“Despite a spate of good earnings reports, there is ennui in the market,” Jim Cramer said on CNBC’s “Stop Trading!” segment. Cramer pointed out that Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) announced it expects 2010 earnings in the range of $3.53 to $3.63 a share on an adjusted basis. That would represent a 4.6% long-term growth forecast. Plus, the company is sitting on a ton of cash and will soon launch a stock buyback program. Regardless. the stock is underperforming. Another example is Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:HPQ). The company reported a 25% surge in fourth-quarter earnings, boosted by cost cuts and sales of personal computers. “That should be a sit-up and take notice situation,” Cramer said, ” but it wasn’t.” Also, Cramer mentioned, another example is Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE:CHK). The company hit it out of the park when it reported a narrower fourth-quarter loss, but the stock only went up 49 cents. “No one seems to care about these great earnings’ reports,” Cramer said.   Get the scoop on tomorrow’s hottest trade ideas – TODAY!

Cramer mentioned he is a buyer of Jarden on pullbacks. Next on Cramer’s list was Whole Foods Market Inc. (NYSE:WFMI), which recently soared 13% after it raised its full-year outlook on better-than-expected first-quarter earnings. “Even though they are in a short squeeze,” Cramer said, “the shorts missed that WFMI is the best place to take food home from.” In the grocery sector, Cramer said he also likes Safeway Inc. (NYSE:SWY). Finally, Cramer said the attention is on The Shaw Group Inc. (NASDAQ:SHAW) due to their involvement in the two nuclear power plants that will be built with federal loan guarantees.

According to a Wall Street Journal article, the success of Avatar is making everyone want 3-D. “The catch is that you have to have movie theaters that have the capacity to show 3-D,” Cramer said. “Cinemark has it.”  CNK has a yield of 4.8%, good fundamentals and the stock right now is inexpensive. Moving on to the financial sector, Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) reported on Tuesday significant gains in the number of modified mortgages through the government’s Home Affordable Modification Program. This means fewer homeowners will end up defaulting on their loans. Cramer told viewers that the technicals are aligning with the fundamentals, so he thinks BAC deserves to have this rally. “Merrill Lynch business could be on fire and we might not even see the problems at Bank of America,” Cramer said. “I like the mosaic of Bank of America.” Cramer holds BAC in his charitable trust. Finally, Cramer said Transocean LTD (NYSE:RIG) is a very cheap stock right now. “Plus, RIG is the only one that has the real capacity to drill in hard-to-get places,” Cramer said, “which is especially important given that new reserves are more difficult to tap.” He also mentioned that Schlumberger Limited (NYSE:SLB) is cheap.

“Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) is the play on Toyota Motor Corporation’s (ADR)(NYSE:TM) global recall,” Jim Cramer said on a recent “Stop Trading!” segment. He mentioned that a lot of investors think the play is Honda Motor Co., LTD. (ADR)(NYSE:HMC), but Ford Motor is in a better position to take advantage of Toyota’s demise. “I think Ford CEO Alan Mulally is the big winner,” Cramer said. He pointed to Ford’s balance sheet and its ability to eventually get better financing as reason to  buy Ford. Cramer predicted that Ford will be a $20 stock in 2012. Moving on to the financial sector, Cramer said PNC Financial Services (NYSE:PNC) is his favorite trade of the day. The company just sold $3 billion of stock at $54 a share to pay back its government bailout. Cramer said the stock was recently trading down because of the weak market, not the company.

“Don’t sell Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) on the possible fear that it may be kicked out of China,” Jim Cramer said on Wednesday’s “Stop Trading!” segment.  Google had said it might leave China because of the country’s strict Internet censorship laws and due to recent hacker attacks. Cramer said he was worried about the recent reports, but he put the odds at 30% to 50% that Google will leave China. He told viewers not to sell the stock because China isn’t a big market for them right now. “But it will be a big market for them.” he said. “Baidu.com Inc. (ADR)(NASDAQ:BIDU), a China-based search engine, controls a bigger stake of the search market,” Cramer said, “so Google’s potential revenue losses would be less than in other countries.” Shares of BIDU surged 13.2% to $437.17 in afternoon trading on the news. Cramer advised viewers that if they owned BIDU he would lock in profits, but he warned investors that shorting a stock like this a “career ender,” and he wouldn’t recommend it. Cramer also mentioned that Google had been acting poorly for days, so it’s very possible that this news was out and investors who were in the know sold already. He explained this wouldn’t be insider information because the Chinese government wouldn’t qualify as an insider. “I do believe that Google could be even done going down and should have been bought when it was down a lot today,” he said. Moving on the the housing sector, Cramer mentioned that KB Home (NYSE:KBH) showed some signs of stabilization when it reported its first quarterly profit since 2007. However, KBH and some other homebuilders didn’t report seeing an influx of newly available homes. “That’s why I don’t expect the shadow inventory to hit the market,” Cramer said. He explained that once unemployment stops going down, home prices should start to go up. Cramer cautioned investors from running out and buying the builders just off this good news.

Jim Cramer thinks it’s a good idea to have an excise tax on big bonuses for anyone who took TARP money, however he said on Tuesday’s “Stop Trading!” segment that we shouldn’t tax banks that we need to make loans. “We can’t tell these banks to lend and then take what they have to lend,” he said. Cramer’s comments came on the heels of a report that President Barack Obama is considering putting a fee on financial services firms as part of his fiscal 2011 budget. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) released a statement on Tuesday that said they might have shared information with some clients before sharing it with others. Goldman is coming under a lot of fire for shorting collateralized debt that it was selling to clients. “Was there anyone that didn’t know Goldman was shorting this stuff,” Cramer said. “They told everyone.” Moving on to the oil sector, Cramer said Chevron Corp’s (NYSE:CVX) fourth-quarter profit miss due to weak refining and market operations was not a real guide down. “A deeper look at the report showed the company’s production rate is in fact up 9%,” he said, “which is much better than any of the large oil companies.” Cramer currently holds Chevron in his charitable trust. “This was good news, not bad,” he said.
