Hidden among all the doom and gloom, there is a little hope left in the economy. The New York-based Conference Board, a private research group, determined that consumer confidence was up in November. The group's Consumer Confidence Index stands at 44.9, up from a revised 38.8 in October. Last month, the indicator was at its lowest point since the research group started tracking the index in 1967. Also making headlines is the Fed's plan to unfreeze consumer debt by pumping $800 billion into the economy. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson stated that the program is aimed at providing money for consumer debt, such as credit cards, auto loans and student loans. The market responded with another volatile day on Tuesday by rallying late in the day to close slightly up. Bank of America(BAC Quote), JPMorgan(JPM Quote), Citigroup(C Quote) and Morgan Stanley(MS Quote) all led the way. With this in mind, we thought we'd take a look at some of the stocks people have been searching for on TheStreet.com, including Procter & Gamble(PG Quote) and Gentex(GNTX Quote), and see what Jim Cramer's had to say about them recently.
