Mad Mail

In his "Mad Mail" segment, Cramer told a caller that if Sirius merges with XM Satellite Radio (XMSR Quote), he predicts it will go to $5. But if it doesn't, it could go to $2 or $3 and XM would be "wiped out." Sirius closed at $3.26 Wednesday.

Responding to anther mailer, Cramer said that although he liked Take-Two Interactive (TTWO Quote) at first, a deeper look showed that the numbers for the stock were nonexistent.

He advised the caller not to buy TTWO and said that without a deal, it will go much lower.

He was bearish on Kraft (KFT Quote) and Dendreon (DNDN Quote).
