Cramer's 'Stop Trading!': First Niagara

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- First Niagara(FNFG Quote) is the new "super financial," said Jim Cramer on CNBC's "Stop Trading!" segment on Tuesday.

Its acquisition of Harleysville National(HNBC Quote) "is the kind of thing that you do when you're about to become more of a super regional," he said.

Masco(MAS Quote) is "very exciting," Cramer said. "Housing is coming back. We know that the media doesn't want to admit it, but everyone else is willing to, including the people who work at Masco."

As for health care reform, Cramer said that senators have been "coming out and saying that the public option for health maintenance organizations ... is dead," which explains the runs in United Health(UNH Quote), Aetna(AET Quote) and WellPoint(WLP Quote). Even Tenet(THC Quote) had a "great quarter."

"These stocks act absolutely terrifically, and it's because the Senate is going to kill what was ever going to ail these guys," said Cramer.
