Cramer's 'Mad Money' Follow-Up: Dec. 15

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 Monday's "Mad Money" show fared today.

---

Citigroup(C): Cramer called Citigroup a BuyBuyBuy on Monday after it announced it would repay its TARP bailout funds. He said he preferred Citigroup to Wells Fargo(WFC) because it has less mortgage exposure, fewer foreclosures and good international exposure. He maintained his $12-by-2012 price target on the stock.

On Tuesday, Citigroup lost 14 cents, or 3.8%, to close at $3.56.

XTO Energy(XTO): Cramer named XTO CEO Bob Simpson the inaugural member of his Wall of Fame list of top CEOS. Cramer was impressed with XTO's profits over the years and the stock's 148% increase over the past five years and 3,319% increase over the past 10. XTO is one of his favorite natural gas stocks, he said, and he said Exxon's(XOM) acquisition of XTO is a sign that Exxon is making a big bet on natural gas. He said he also liked natural gas stock Clean Energy Fuels(CLNE).
