A second audience member asked Cramer what criteria he uses to determine when the market bottoms. Cramer said the bottom will only come after a major bank or financial institution fails.

The next audience member, from Australia, asked about Bear Stearns (BSC - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and when it would be safe to invest in the financial stocks. Cramer advised against the financials until the Federal Reserve takes more aggressive action to solve the housing crisis.
