NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Every night on "Mad Money," Jim Cramer offers market commentary and general investment advice, and he makes calls on specific stocks, both of his own choosing and in response to viewer requests. He relies on his many years of experience and strong track record, and he takes full responsibility for his calls.
"I never shirk from admitting my mistakes; instead, I dwell on them to learn from them. I change my mind, I take losses, I own up to them," Cramer has said. Here we track some of his calls from the previous episode of "Mad Money" and find out, at least in the very short term, how the stocks are performing. Keep in mind that Cramer might not have been recommending that viewers take immediate action on a stock. And, of course, it's up to the individual investor to do his or her own homework. That said, here's how some of the stocks that Cramer talked about on Thursday's "Mad Money" show fared today.Procter & Gamble(PG Quote): On Thursday's show, Cramer said that P&G, which he owns for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable fund, soared on Thursday after delivering a positive forecast, because people are used to it disappointing. On the other hand, General Mills(GIS Quote), which also had positive news, gained only a few cents yesterday because it has a history of outperforming. Cramer said he still supported Procter and expects it to continue to surprise, bolstered by lower natural gas prices and a weak dollar. On Friday, Procter was recently sliding 42 cents, or 0.8%, to $55.62, while General Mills was losing 33 cents, or 0.5%, at $60.57. U.S. Natural Gas(UNG Quote): Cramer added the U.S. Natural Gas ETF to his Sell Block on Thursday, even though he's a big supporter of natural gas, citing its potential to create jobs and be environmentally-friendly. The UNG ETF, though, owns monthly futures contracts, not natural gas stocks themselves, and has a history of underperforming. He said it was too risky, and he recommending buying natural gas stocks instead.
