It's time to take stock of the bears' dirty dozen in the faltering subprime sector, Jim Cramer said Wednesday on CNBC's Stop Trading! segment.
Cramer said that with this week's meltdown of New Century (NEWC Quote) -- the Irvine, Calif.-based lender to homebuyers with poor credit histories -- short-sellers and others are targeting 12 players in the subprime market. Cramer said some of the companies are doomed and others are being unfairly lumped in, but he stressed that investors must know who is in the shorts' targets before buying or selling any of these names. These are the companies:- IndyMac(NDE Quote)
- CharterMac(CHC Quote)
- Friedman Billings(FBR Quote)
- Fremont General(FMT Quote)
- Redwood Trust(RWT Quote)
- Newcastle Investment(NCT Quote)
- American Home Mortgage(AHM Quote)
- Gramercy(GKK Quote)
- RAIT(RAS Quote)
- Accredited(LEND Quote)
- Thornburg Mortgage(TMA Quote)
