Stock quotes in this article: SHLD , GS , DST , BAC , STI , WFC  

Mad Mail & Sudden Death

In response to a viewer's letter in the show's "Mad Mail" segment, Cramer said Altria (MO Quote) and Diageo (DEO Quote) have good dividends. He said the two stocks, both of which he owns for his charitable trust, are not in the same camp as Las Vegas Sands (LVS Quote), which he called a "high-rolling, conceivably one-month shortfall of a Macau stock."

He told another viewer that he believes Level 3 Communications (LVLT Quote) is turning around, buying out its high-yield debt. Cramer believes this strategy is working but advised people to listen to the company's conference call and to do their own homework before buying the stock.

During the "Sudden Death" round, Cramer was bullish on EMC (EMC Quote) and Melco PBL Entertainment (MPEL Quote).

Lightning Round

Cramer was bullish on Archer Daniels Midland (ADM Quote), Acme Packet (APKT Quote), Whirlpool (WHR Quote), ValueClick (VCLK Quote), Vulcan Materials (VMC Quote), MasterCard (MA Quote) and Corning (GLW Quote).

Cramer was bearish on Aventine Renewable Energy (AVR Quote), SAP (SAP Quote), Oracle (ORCL Quote), Thor Industries (THO Quote) and Tibco Software (TIBX Quote).
