Stock quotes in this article: BSX , JNJ , TBL  

Mad Mail & Sudden Death

In his "Mad Mail" segment, Cramer told one letter writer that Rite Aid (RAD Quote) has been his favorite speculation. Cramer agreed with the viewer that perhaps the reason the stock's going higher is because the drugstore chain's stores are generally located in areas more easily accessible by foot, unlike Wal-Mart (WMT Quote).

When asked about the New York Stock Exchange (NYX Quote) vs. the Nymex (NMX Quote), Cramer said he prefers the NYSE and recommended letting the Nymex come in a little before buying it.

In his "Sudden Death" round, Cramer was bullish on Boeing (BA Quote). He was bearish on Toll Brothers (TOL Quote), Saifun Semiconductors (SFUN Quote) and Textron (TXT Quote).
