Baker Hughes (BHI - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "Did not have a good last quarter. ... I like the industry so much, I like the company so much, I am going with you. ... I like the group. ... I like all the drillers. You're in great shape."

Phillips-Van Heusen (PVH - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "They gave me really bad guidance. ... They sounded like that guy from Diana (DSX - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) ... I want the guy from Phillips-Van Heusen management to come on the show and tell me why I shouldn't say SellSellSell."
