NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- While there are a lot of reasons to feel bad about this market, a lot of great things are happening to U.S. companies at the micro-level, Jim Cramer told viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show Thursday.

Cramer said just yesterday alone, there were a multitude of great earnings calls, but none of them seemed to matter as the oil spill in the Gulf continues and politics in Washington and Europe steal the focus.

Here were a few notable mentions. Nike (NKE) management said "we've never been more profitable," as it delivered record revenue and profits on tremendous momentum. Yet he said the stock closed down $2.89.

Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) saw its net sales up 13.5% with strong margins, as it raised guidance for the year. Yet shares tanked $2.34.

Cramer said Darden Restaurants (DRI) saw higher margins and announced expansion plans and a stock buyback, but its shares fell $2.44. Jabil Circuit (JBL) posted 35% higher revenues and has $600 million in cash, yet lost $1 a share.

And the list continued with Carmax (KMX), Adobe (ADBE) and even Dell (DELL) reporting positive news, only to see their share prices fall.

Cramer said this news might not matter now, but soon, it will.
