LEH Opens the Door for Lots of Stocks

Right back into strength. Right back. Gamestop (GME - commentary - Cramer's Take) and J.Crew (JCG - commentary - Cramer's Take) and Urban Outfitters (URBN - commentary - Cramer's Take) are right back. Intuitive Surgical (ISRG - commentary - Cramer's Take) could take out its high.

MasterCard (MA - commentary - Cramer's Take)? Boom, 52-week high. Like that one will ever quit, it is so loved. Salesforce.com (CRM - commentary - Cramer's Take) is ramping; that was a gorgeous quarter. Owens-Illinois (OI - commentary - Cramer's Take) is having the move that had existed before the selloff; now it is back. It deserves it; remember that was the biggest upside surprise of the previous quarter.

Apple's (AAPL - commentary - Cramer's Take) going higher, nice Mac numbers. Wynn's (WYNN - commentary - Cramer's Take) running. The momentum guys never quit, doesn't matter, that's just what momentum guys want. Caterpillar (CAT - commentary - Cramer's Take) continues to be the favorite rest-of-world play, but look out for United Tech (UTX - commentary - Cramer's Take) and Honeywell (HON - commentary - Cramer's Take) and Ingersoll-Rand (IR - commentary - Cramer's Take) and Emerson Electric (EMR - commentary - Cramer's Take), they all have big bids underneath. General Electric's (GE - commentary - Cramer's Take) been breaking out, because people believe it is an early-cycle play, given that it has such a big percentage of its business in finance.

What's interesting is that there are a bunch of companies that were on life support that now know they can find money given Lehman's oversubscription. Bank of America (BAC - commentary - Cramer's Take) can tap the preferred market if it acts well -- I know it did one already, it needs another one. How about Merrill Lynch (MER - commentary - Cramer's Take)? Can John Thain move quickly enough? I think he can. AIG (AIG - commentary - Cramer's Take) needs capital. Morgan Stanley (MS - commentary - Cramer's Take) is a natural for the cash.

Wells Fargo (WFC - commentary - Cramer's Take) would be right do one, too. It could then buy Nat City (NCC - commentary - Cramer's Take) at a discount.

This is a really important moment because the money is available and wants in.

The banks and brokers MUST take advantage of it.

They must do it. They should call Lehman right now and see who didn't get enough preferred.

Will they move? I think they will, which is why there is so much panic among the shorts today.
