Cramer's Take on Top-Searched Stocks

Updated from 7:01 a.m. EDT

The magical bailout-to-be may not be enough to prevent a recession. Despite the bill's passing in the Senate on Wednesday evening, stocks plunged on Thursday. The bailout bill is expected to reach the House on Friday.

Thursday's tumble followed the report from the government of a seven-year high in jobless claims. This isn't good, but it's also hard to believe it wasn't expected.

Meanwhile, it's bad news all around for U.S. factories, where economic indicators were all bearish. Industry pundits are reporting that the sharp decline is a direct result of the credit strain, making it difficult for companies to get loans to improve or expand operations.

Stocks leading us down included General Electric(GE Quote - Cramer on GE - Stock Picks), Intel(INTC Quote - Cramer on INTC - Stock Picks), Vale(RIO Quote - Cramer on RIO - Stock Picks) and Potash(POT Quote - Cramer on POT - Stock Picks). There were a few bright spots, with Wachovia(WB Quote - Cramer on WB - Stock Picks), National City(NCC Quote - Cramer on NCC - Stock Picks) and Atmel(ATML Quote - Cramer on ATML - Stock Picks) all spiking.

With this in mind, we thought we'd take a look at some of Thursday's top-searched stocks on TheStreet.com, including Mosaic(MOS Quote - Cramer on MOS - Stock Picks) and U.S. Steel(X Quote - Cramer on X - Stock Picks), and see what Jim Cramer's had to say about them recently.
