NEW YORK (

Stockpickr

) -- Regardless of why a stock is in the news, it never hurts to hear what a professional investor has to say about it. The key is to gather as much information as you can in order to make the most informed investment decisions you can. As Jim Cramer (read an excerpt from his

new book here

) often reminds, investors must do their homework.

So what has Cramer had to say lately about today's headline-makers? At Stockpickr, we've combed through his recent

RealMoney

blog posts, "Mad Money" TV show recaps and "Stop Trading!" segments to find out

what he thinks about some of today's newsworthy stocks

.

Cisco

(CSCO) - Get Report

: Cisco revealed its

next-generation CRS-3 router

Tuesday.

In a blog post yesterday,

Cramer wrote

that Cisco "is saying lots of good things about the data center business, which I think is related to cloud computing."

And on his

"Lightning Round"

segment last night, Cramer said he reiterated that Cisco, which he owns for his

Action Alerts PLUS

charitable trust, "could go to $35 a share and still not be expensive."

Toyota

(TM) - Get Report

: Standpoint

downgraded Toyota

to hold from buy, recommending selling the stock into its recent bounce.

Yesterday in San Diego, a

Toyota Prius sped out of control

at 94 mph.

In a post to his

RealMoney

blog on March 5,

Cramer wrote

: "I reiterate that things are getting

worse

, not better, for Toyota and that means keep buying

Ford

(F) - Get Report

.

On his March 2

"Mad Money"

show, Cramer recommended selling Toyota and expressed concern that its short-term problems could increase.

Google

(GOOG) - Get Report

: Google is reportedly collaborating with

Dish Network

(DISH) - Get Report

to test a new

TV programming search service

that would use Google software.

On March 5,

Cramer wrote in his blog

: "Momentum continues in Google. I am hearing a nice uptick in Android is driving much of the gains."

On March 2,

Cramer wrote

that unlike with

Amazon

(AMZN) - Get Report

and

Apple

(AAPL) - Get Report

, "there is some hair on Google because of China -- you need China to be all-systems-go to beat the numbers."
