The German Colossus: Siemens AG (NYSE: SI - News)
Cramer remarked "socialist" Europe is beating capitalist America at its own game, and discussed "The German General Electric." Siemens, a megacap conglomerate, is one of the world's largest engineering and electronic companies, and its exposure to infrastructure has been largely responsible for its rise from $82 to $147 in one year. In addition, Siemens provides communications technology, built part of the world's fastest train, and constructs airports and power plants.

CEO Interview: Fred Poses, American Standard (NYSE: ASD - News)
Poses discussed the company's upcoming spinoff of two of its three businesses; the remainder will be in the air conditioning and heating industry, which is a "great" place to be.

Cramer told viewers to use ASD's recent decline as a buying opportunity.
