After-Bell Reverberations

Cramer ended the show with a couple possible buying opportunities in Bausch & Lomb(BOL Quote - Cramer on BOL - Stock Picks) and Wal-Mart(WMT Quote - Cramer on WMT - Stock Picks).

After the bell, Bausch & Lomb restated earnings due to improper conduct at its Brazilian unit, while Wal-Mart lost a labor case in California and will be forced to pay $172 million in damages and compensation to about 116,000 current and former employees for denying meal breaks.

Both stocks dipped in after-hours trading, but Cramer said that the news will not matter in the end because it has no effect on the numbers.
