Pops

IKON Office Solutions (IKN Quote - Cramer on IKN - Stock Picks) rose by 9% to $17.02.

iShares China Index (FXI Quote - Cramer on FXI - Stock Picks) was up about 4% to $43.43. Quint Tatro patted himself on the back for recommending this stock a couple of days ago on the program, calling a double bottom. He suggested investors to sell half of their position at this point.

Nucor (NUE Quote - Cramer on NUE - Stock Picks) increased by 3% to $52.11. Adami said the stock was "obliterated in October," and said that even with the upward movement in the stock he still likes it at its current price levels.

Valero (VLO Quote - Cramer on VLO - Stock Picks) rose by 4% to $35.02. Terranova mentioned how crude inventories have slowly been decreasing in recent months; he said this will benefit Valero and others in the sector. He said "people should look into this stock."

Talbots (TLB Quote - Cramer on TLB - Stock Picks) surged by 28% to $12.82. Najarian started off by saying it's a really cheap stock, but he wouldn't be a buyer. He said the stock is off its 52-week high by a large margin and there is a good reason for it -- the stock's 52-week high is $23.84.

Border's (BGP Quote - Cramer on BGP - Stock Picks) rose sharply by 20% to $6.39. Terranova said he believes a short squeeze contributed to the sharp rise -- he said he foresees the "stock moving to the double digits."

Drops

Mattel (MAT Quote - Cramer on MAT - Stock Picks) was down about 3% to $19.65. Guy Adami said the $100 million it won from the Bratz lawsuit case did not help the stock, but at its current price he said it "gets interesting here."

Amylin Pharmaceuticals (AMLN Quote - Cramer on AMLN - Stock Picks) fell sharply by 25% to $20.48. Joe Terranova said to "let the dust settle here" before you take a look at whether to own it or not.

Solarfun Power Holdinigs (SOLF Quote - Cramer on SOLF - Stock Picks) fell by 14% to $16.33. Quint said "I keep getting smacked out of the solars." He is referring to when he had a position in a solar company but was forced to sell out when it hit his stop-loss price. He said "I'm done with them [solar stocks]."

American Axle (AXL Quote - Cramer on AXL - Stock Picks) was down 2% to $4.98. Adami said does not like this stock. Instead, he prefers that investors consider WABCO Holdings (WBC Quote - Cramer on WBC - Stock Picks), stating "that is your play."

Dollar Tree (DLTR Quote - Cramer on DLTR - Stock Picks) fell 3% to $37.94. Najarian said "I like this one" and suggested investors could get into this stock on the dips.

Brown Shoe Co (BWS Quote - Cramer on BWS - Stock Picks) fell 3% to $15.37. Tatro said "this stock is not for me."
