The show started with Erin Burnett discussing the housing market as the hurricane season approaches. She then spoke with Daniel Mudd, Pres. & CEO of Fannie Mae (FNM)- the top source of mortgage funding. U.S. sub-prime markets are not operating well, and Mudd does not predict an end soon. He discussed their $417,000 limit and possible regulation changes. Some people in sub-prime mortgages could get out. Mudd says we need to minimize foreclosures and maximize transparencies in lending. They borrow from the government and are exempt from certain taxes. FNM provides liquidity by buying and repackaging mortgages for sale. Kenneth Heebmer of CGM capital management says housing weakness expected to continue, and is impacting consumer expenditures. Thinks home prices will drop to 50% of 2005 prices, doesn't think that it will evolve into recession. Housing sector weakness will be a continuing trend. Charlie Rangel was next on the show, discussing expanding the tax base and lowering the rate. Chris Hoene was on to discuss property taxes. 29% of cities have increased property taxes, mainly due to the troubled housing market. Darren Rovell discussed the high profile sports magazine SI signing with Dan Patrick, who worked at ESPN for 18 years. SI.com accounted for 15-20% of SI's total revenues. Crude oil closed at record high at 89.55.

Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS - News): Cramer is bullish on DKS, which is opening 80 new stores and has earnings grwoth "as far as the eye can see." He praises the addition of seasoned retailers Best Buy and Lowe's to the board.
Pepsi (NYSE: PEP - News) and Coke (NYSE: KO - News): Cramer would not interpret PEP's stake in a Ukranian juice company as giving up on America, but as a smart move to continue the company's strong international growth. However, Cramer prefers Coke.
SunTrust (NYSE: STI - News): This $30 billion market cap stock won't remain independent, says Cramer, no matter what happens with its buyback or its stake in Coke.
Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS - News):"Respect the futures" Cramer cautioned and added allocation trades by pension funds are "overwhelming" the market, at least for the time being. He urges restraint in buying now, even good names like GS which have declined 7 points.

General Motors (NYSE: GM - News) and Ford (NYSE: F - News): Cramer is skeptical about GM comments that subprime problems were to blame for the company's lackluster performance when other sectors such as retail have reported great numbers; "I mean, we did go up 15 out of 16 days, despite the fact that we were torching our houses to get the money from Allstate." He added although Ford is a turnaround story, there is not yet tangible evidence.
Barclays' (NYSE: BCS - News), Fifth Third (NasdaqGS: FITB), Comerica (NYSE: CMA - News), SunTrust (NYSE: STI - News), America (NYSE: BAC - News): On Barclay's offer for ABN Amro, Cramer would buy FITB, CMA, and STI here, but comments BAC has acquisition addiciton; "There is no 12-step program for what BAC is doing... They would have to hit bottom. They have to hit banking skid row."
AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN - News) Medimmune (NasdaqGS: MEDI), Celgene (NasdaqGS: CELG), Cephalon (NasdaqGS: CEPH), Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI - News), Cummins (NYSE: CMI - News): Cramer called AZN's acquisition of MEDI a "classic overpay" and may make CELG and CEPH seem undervalued. As time was running out, Cramer said, "I like coal! Johnson Controls ... Cummins $9!"

It was a tale of two markets today as solid earnings reports from two of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, coupled with benign inflation data, helped push that market indicator to new heights intraday before it closed short of another record. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite, in contrast, hovered near the unchanged mark for much of the session before ultimately closing fractionally lower. The 10-year Treasury note again found buyers today while crude oil prices declined. The British pound also made news on the currency markets, pushing past the psychologically important $2 level for the first time since 1992, though the weak-dollar trend has been in place for some time.
U.S. consumer prices rose a sharp 0.6% in March, but much of that gain was attributable to the rising price of energy, which jumped 5.9% last month. It was the sharpest one-month increase in energy costs since Hurricane Katrina helped shut down a portion of the nation's refining capacity in the summer of 2005. Investors were encouraged, however, that so-called core inflation, which strips out energy as well as food costs, was only up a scant 0.1%.
In earnings news, strong sales outside of North America helped propel the soft-drink maker Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO - News), a Dow component, to a 14% earnings increase. Revenue increased 17%. Growth was propelled by a 9% gain in overseas unit-case volume, which offset a -3% decline in the same North American sales metric. Satisfied investors pushed the company's shares up 3%.
The Q1 bottom-line results for pharmaceutical maker Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ - News) declined -22% as the result of charges related to its acquisition of Conor Medsystems, but investors were encouraged by record sales of nearly $13 billion, a 16% increase over last year's Q1 results. Shares increased 2% in today's trading. J&J is another one of the 30 stocks that make up the blue chip Dow index, which was also helped by a late afternoon rally from McDonald's (NYSE: MCD - News)
TD Ameritrade (Nasdaq: AMTD - News), meanwhile, slumped -9% after the online broker posted results that missed expectations and lowered its outlook for the remainder of the year. The company said it earned $141 million, or 23 cents a share for its second fiscal quarter ended March 31, against $173 million, or 30 cents a share, last year when results were aided by one-time gains. Its rival Charles Schwab (Nasdaq: SCHW - News), meanwhile, reported a Q1 profit of $273 million, or 22 cents a share, compared with $243 million, or 19 cents a share, a year earlier. Revenue from continuing operations increased 9% to $1.15 billion. The results were in line with Wall Street's expectations.
Earnings results continued to come in from the banking sector. Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC - News), the nation's No. 4 bank, reported an 11% increase in Q1 profits, but also revealed an increase in bad loans. The bank, however, insisted its loan portfolio is largely isolated from difficulties in the subprime sector. Wells Fargo earned $2.24 billion, or 66 cents per share, compared with $2 billion, or 60 cents, a year ago. Revenue rose 10%. Regional bank SunTrust Banks (NYSE: STI - News) said its Q1 net income fell 3% to $514 million, while Regions Financial (NYSE: RF - News) reported a 13% profit increase to $333 million. After the bell, Washington Mutual (NYSE: WM - News) reported a decline in Q1 profit, hurt by a loss in its mortgage unit.

Fortress Investment Group, Sears Holdings (NasdaqGS: SHLD) and Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS - News)
Cramer comments that Fortress Investments, which will become the first publicly traded hedge fund on Friday, will serve as a yardstick for Sears which is really an investment, rather than a retail, business. Cramer calls Sears' CEO Eddie Lampert "one of the best money managers in history," but because there were no publicly traded hedge funds up until now, there has been no way to gauge SHLD's worth. "Fortress' multiple, which will probably be 17 times earnings, tells us what we should pay for Sears' investment business," Cramer said, and noted that investors will realize that Sears is cheap. While some think that Fortress could also be a gauge for GS, Cramer does not agree, since GS is more than a hedge fund. He predicts that SHLD will rise to at least $237 a share from $180.81.
State Street (NYSE: STT - News), Investors Financial Services (NasdaqGS: IFIN), DST Systems (NYSE: DST - News), Bank of America (NYSE: BAC - News), SunTrust (NYSE: STI - News)
Cramer says that asset management firms like DST "should have gone up huge" when STT made a bid to acquire IFIN. This didn't happen, and Cramer thinks it is "wrong" but would use the opportunity to buy DST, which he believes is the next takeover target. He thinks potential buyers may be BAC or STI, and even if DST doesn't get bought, it had a "blowout" quarter, is still cheap and has good fundamentals. Although DST is not worth as much as Investors Financial, it should increase from $71.94 to $88.
Sell Block: Avon (NYSE: AVP - News), Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC - News), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS - News), Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF - News), Circuit City (NYSE: CC - News), Best Buy (NYSE: BBY - News)
Cramer said he regretted placing Andrea Jung on his bad CEO list, because Avon recently reported a great quarter; "the company showed real growth afte a long time," he said. Although Cramer has liked WFC for "seemingly forever" he would sell since he feels it is expensive. Cramer said it isn't necessary to drop one's entire position, but would swap some into GS. Cramer would take profits in ANF, would sell CC and would buy BBY.
Mad Mail: Altria (NYSE: MO - News), Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS - News), Diageo (NYSE: DEO - News), Level 3 Communications (NasdaqGS: LVLT)
Cramer commented that MO and DEO have solid dividends and do not resemble LVS which is a "high-rolling, conceivably one-month shortfall of a Macau stock." Cramer sees a turnaround in LVLT, which is taking care of its debt, but he suggested doing homework and checking out the company's conference call before buying.

Sales are expected in a range of $275 million to $2.85 million.

CACI International (NYSE:CAI - News) was downgraded to neutral from buy at Banc of America Securities.
Coldwater Creek Inc. (NASDAQ:CWTR - News) lowered its outlook for fiscal fourth quarter per-share income to a range of 16 cents to 17 cents.

E-Trade Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:ETFC - News) fourth-quarter net income jumped 37%, as customers traded more and stored more cash and investments with the discount broker.
Fortune Brands (NYSE:FO - News) was downgraded to neutral from overweight at J.P. Morgan. The firm cited a 20% gain in the share price since the end of June and the weak outlook for home and hardware sales and operating margins.

General Electric Co. (NYSE:GE - News) reported fourth-quarter net income doubled to 64 cents a share, in line with estimates. Revenue rose a stronger-than-expected 11% to $44.62 billion.

IBM (NYSE:IBM - News) reported an 11% rise in fourth-quarter profit, helped by higher sales in its key global services division and more demand in its software business, although the stock fell due to meager sales growth for the company's hardware business.
Irvine Sensors Corp. (NASDAQ:IRSN - News) shares slumped after the Costa Mesa, Calif.-based developer of miniaturized infrared and electro-optical cameras said it was unable to file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Oct. 1, 2006, by the yesterday's deadline. The company did not provide a reason for the delay in filing its 10-K.
Lamar Advertising (NASDAQ:LAMR - News) was downgraded to neutral from buy at Banc of America Securities.
Lubrizol (NYSE:LZ - News) was downgraded to neutral from overweight at J.P. Morgan.

Revenue rose 24% to $195.6 million. Analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call forecast earnings of 61 cents a share, on average.
Shares of Rite Aid (NYSE:RAD - News) fell after Goldman Sachs downgraded the drugstore chain to sell from neutral, citing concerns over valuation and challenges integrating its Eckerd acquisition. "Shares of dramatically outperformed over the past several months on optimism over Eckerd's turnaround potential," Heinbockel said in a research note. He said the stock's strong gains leave it trading at the same valuation as the faster-growing and less leveraged CVS-Caremark combination. "As a result, we see a potential correction of 10% to 15% sometime in the first half of 2007," Heinbockel said. The stock was last down 3.1% at $5.95, but was still up 24% over the past four months. Heinbockel raised his stock price target to $5.45 from $4.54.
Stanley Works (NYSE:SWK - News) was downgraded to underweight from neutral at J.P. Morgan. The firm said the company's recent acquisition run has diluted returns and increased integration risk, particularly regarding Bostitch.
SunTrust Banks (NYSE:STI - News) said net income rose 1% to $523.6 million, or $1.46 a share, from $518.5 million, or $1.43, a year ago.

Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT - News) updated its fourth-quarter outlook Thursday night. The Providence, R.I. defense and aerospace company said it had "incurred additional costs related to its Bell Helicopter H-1 program." It now expects earnings from continuing operations to exceed previous guidance of $1.35 to $1.45 a share. That median still fell short of analysts' average estimates of $1.46 a share, as polled by Thomson Financial. The company said strong financial performance at Cessna and other units during the fourth quarter should more than offset additional H-1 costs.
TRW Automotive Holding Corp. (NYSE:TRW - News) was downgraded to sell from neutral at Goldman Sachs.
Washington Post Co. (NYSE:WPO - News) raised its annual dividend 5% to $8.20 a share from $7.80 a share.
