Some retail stocks, such as Wal-Mart(WMT Quote - Cramer on WMT - Stock Picks), are faring better than others, said Jim Cramer on Thursday's "Stop Trading!" segment on CNBC. "Others I regard as simply not going out of business," he said. "That's the action I see in Sears(SHLD Quote - Cramer on SHLD - Stock Picks)."
Cramer said that Chairman Eddie Lampert has been receiving a disproportionate amount of bad press lately. "There's probably 51 negative articles about Eddie," he said. "News isn't that bad there. Look at the stock!" "In the end, if you think housing's going to bottom, Lowe's(LOW Quote - Cramer on LOW - Stock Picks), Home Depot(HD Quote - Cramer on HD - Stock Picks) and, yes, even Sears(SHLF Quote - Cramer on SHLF - Stock Picks) are buys."
