Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Mar. 9

Bullish calls:
RPM International (NYSE: RPM - News): 'Rustoleum! The stock got hit for $2 bucks. Down to 3% yield again. C'mon! Back up the truck for RPM, one of the great long-term performers and, by the way, a very conservative management.'Six Flags (NYSE: SIX - News): 'You should buy SIX in the spring, ahead of the summer season... We had that guy Mark Shapiro on... That guy just rocks.'General Maritime (NYSE: GMR - News): ' Remember, I have not been a fan of the tanker stocks, but the one guy I trust is Georgiopoulos. He's the CEO. He's actually the founder. It's his money man. We've got to go with him.'Halliburton (NYSE: HAL - News): 'You keep your HAL! The prince ... is now the king! ... has a 10% buyback ... HAL is awakening from its slumber. It is now marching upward. It has been my value stock of the year.'Staples (NasdaqGS: SPLS): 'Sport, I recommended this thing right here (at its current price) and it has not moved at all. And yet, it keeps delivering and delivering and delivering. I am not abandoning it. It's one of the best-run retailers out there.'Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ - News): 'I like HPQ. It's been stuck here, under $40. I want you to make the switch out of the DELL and into the HPQ.'Under Armour (NYSE: UA - News): 'That stock holds in like you won't believe! ... I think the breakdown in Reebok, which is now owned by Adidas, where it's now going to lose a lot of shelf space, is going to be UA's gain. I like UA so much, that I have to contain myself!'Charter Communications (NasdaqGM: CHTR): ' ... this is the level. Anybody who bought CHTR at $3.10, you must buy it here. This company is going to be able to refinance and refinance and refinance, because interest rates are so low. I am sticking by CHTR. 'Graco (NYSE: GGG - News): 'I didn't believe that the stock should be this low. He does have a lot of North America that's weak... I think that guy is great. I would take advantage of the fact that GGG is down. Take advantage of his honesty. I would pull the trigger.'
Neutral calls:
Cadbury Schweppes (NYSE: CSG - News): 'It yields 3.68% and it's all the way down to $41?... I've got to look at that .... Let's do a segment on CSG - I don't know whether it's going to be positive or negative - next week.'
Bearish calls:
Bausch & Lomb (NYSE: BOL - News): ' Here's the deal: I think that BOL - as long as it's run by Ron Zarella - is a nightmare. And he is in my hall of shame. Sell, sell, sell! He's ridiculous. He should step down. And, you know what Ron? It's not personal. It's just business.'American Home Mortgage (NYSE: AHM - News): 'That dividend is 18%, and I think some large dividends, unlike hips, do lie. I want to be careful of that ... that dividend is a distinct red flag. I'm nervous.'Dell (NasdaqGS: DELL): 'No. Sell, sell, sell! No, Michael Dell cannot work miracles. I like HPQ*. It's been stuck here, under $40. I want you to make the switch out of the DELL and into the HPQ.'Iconix Brand (NasdaqGM: ICON): 'This stock has so much momentum that it actually - and I don't mean this to be negative - this one scare's me, it's got so much momentum... I keep reading about it virtually everywhere ... I don't want to buy it, even though I know it's doing the right thing. Don't buy, don't buy.'Gmarket (NasdaqGM: GMKT): 'You know, GMKT's bad ... This has been a tough market. GMKT I was too bullish on it ... I hope it really goes up so we can really dump on it and get everybody out of it.'Melco PBL Entertainment (NasdaqGM: MPEL):Micron Technology (NYSE: MU - News): 'Not in our lifetime. Sell, sell, sell! Stay away my friend!'Pfizer (NYSE: PFE - News):Crown Media Holdings (NasdaqGM: CRWN): 'Your stock stinks! Sell, sell, sell!'

Stock Market Outlook for the Week

Negative investor sentiment and potential spillover regarding Asian markets / the now familiar Yen carry trade, sub and prime loan market anxieties and volatility in hard commodities and energy will set the stage this week. Whether those factors ease or not isnt known. As such, the expectation for more volatility in the broader averages is likely, but to pick a direction without some improved clarity on any or all of those fronts is not a strategy traders need to embrace just yet. Earnings are all but over for the Q4 reporting season and potential market movers are nearly out of the equation this week. National Semi (NSM) and Hovnanian (HOV), for better or for worse, are considered to have the most potential on that front. For economic watchdogs, regularly scheduled catalysts are slightly more abundant. However, as last weeks meltdown over the unforeseen or the overlooked is a testament, waiting on a number other than the kind directly related to our portfolios can be a rather difficult and costly proposition. For those so inclined, the big headliner will be the monthly jobs report to close out the week. With four potentially volatile sessions and plenty of leading concerns dictating the market, the always heralded report takes on a bit less meaning for traders interested in portfolio management.

Monday

Economic: ISM Services (57.5)

Earnings: OM Group (OMG), ABM Ind (ABM), ADC Tele (ADCT), Finisar (FNSR), Novatel (NGPS)

Tuesday

Economic: Productivity Revised (1.7%), Factory Orders (-4.0%)

Earnings: Allis Chalmers (ALY), Brown Forman (BF.B), Iconix (ICON), Volt (VOL), Chicos (CHS), Dicks Sport (DKS)

Earnings: American Eagle (AEOS), BJs (BJ), Westwood One (WON), Coldwater (CWTR), Flamel (FLML), FuelCell (FCEL), Martek (MATK), Mens Wearhouse (MW), TiVO (TIVO)

Thursday

Economic: Weekly Claims (335K)

Earnings: Alon (ALJ), Goldcorp (GG), Urban Outfitters (URBN), Comtech (CMTL), Hovnanian (HOV), Cooper (COO), Natl Semi (NSM), GMarket (GMKT), Georgia Gulf (GGC), TurboChef (OVEN)

Friday

Economic: Nonfarm Payrolls (100K), Unemployment (4.6%), Hourly Earnings (.3%), Trade Balance (-$60.0B), Wholesale Inventories (-.1%)
