Cramer's 'Mad Money' Follow-Up: Sept. 30

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 Tuesday's "Mad Money" show fared today.

UnitedHealth(UNH Quote): Cramer looked at the charts of UnitedHealth, WellPoint(WLP Quote) and Humana(HUM Quote) and did not like what he saw. "The charts are saying you can't own the HMOs perhaps because health care reform will hit them harder than we'd expected," Cramer said. And he's going with the chartists this time. "I'm telling you to skedaddle from this group."

On Wednesday, UnitedHealth closed down 64 cents, or 2.5%, at $25.04; WellPoint was off $1.92, or 3.9%, to $47.36; and Humana gave up 72 cents, or 1.9%, to close at $37.30.

Windstream(WIN Quote): Cramer wanted to make sure Windstream's hefty dividend was safe, so he spoke with CEO Jeff Gardner, who said he felt "great" about the company's yield. "We're doing all the right things in our business," he said, and Cramer agreed.

On Wednesday, Windstreatm added 33 cents, or 3.4%, to $10.13.
