When Cramer bet against United Tech, he lost. After he sold it from his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust, he momentarily looked like a genius as United Tech went down 3 points, he said. But now it is selling "well above the place" where Cramer sold it and he is determined not to make the same mistake twice with this stock.

Mad Mail & Sudden Death

In the show's "Mad Mail" segment, Cramer told a viewer Viacom (VIAB Quote - Cramer on VIAB - Stock Picks) "was run like a country club" with too many people working there. He believes people will not miss the 250 workers recently fired from MTV when it comes to Viacom "reporting decent, profitable quarters."

Responding to another mailer, Cramer said that while Microsoft (MSFT Quote - Cramer on MSFT - Stock Picks) has given its shareholders a special dividend and had a buyback, it is big company so it is difficult to move its price.

During the "Sudden Death" round, Cramer was bullish on Sun Microsystems (SUNW Quote - Cramer on SUNW - Stock Picks). He was bearish on Teva Pharmaceutical (TEVA Quote - Cramer on TEVA - Stock Picks) and Novastar (NFI Quote - Cramer on NFI - Stock Picks).

Robinson Worldwide (CHRW Quote - Cramer on CHRW - Stock Picks), Halliburton (HAL Quote - Cramer on HAL - Stock Picks), Goldman Sachs (GS Quote - Cramer on GS - Stock Picks), Sears (SHLD Quote - Cramer on SHLD - Stock Picks) and Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO Quote - Cramer on TMO - Stock Picks).
