Playing it Safe with Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG - News)
As interest rates go lower, dividends will rise in value, and Cramer recommends PG as a "money in the bank" dividend stock. While at first glance, few would be impressed by a $64 stock with a 2.2% yield, Cramer reminded viewers that PG was at $30 in 2000. Reinvesting PG's dividend is like having "compound interest" said Cramer and he lauds PG for its "mega buyback." He predicts PG will reach $90 and is a good way to "Fed-proof your portfolio."
How Much is that PetSmart in the Window? VCA Antech (NasdaqGS: WOOF - News), PetMed Express (NasdaqGS: PETS - News) and PetSmart (NasdaqGS: PETM - News)
The heated discussion over NFL star quarterback Michael Vick's upcoming trial shows "people won't stand for cruelty to animals," said Cramer who unveiled some of his pet picks and peeves. One pet peeve was WOOF's "piled-up debt," but he liked discount pet pharmacist PETS for its personalized care. However, his best pet pick was PETM, which is up $3 from where he recommended it in January. PETM is known for selling "high-class premium" items and has $245 million cash on hand. PETM will remain the victor as its main rival, Petco, will probably close stores after being taken over by a "debt-ridden" company.
Everybody out of the Poole: Bear Stearns (NYSE: BSC - News), Countrywide Financial (NYSE: CFC - News), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS - News)
Cramer defended his vigorous criticism of St. Louis Federal Reserve President William Poole, who said interest rates should be raised, not lowered. Cramer accused Poole of "single-handedly attempting to destroy" the market and said he should put in his resignation. Senator Kent Conrad (D, N.D), chairman of the Budget Committee, was Cramer's guest caller and said Poole's proposal was "reckless and irresponsible" and would cause a calamity. He added difficulties at BSC, CFC and GS speak for themselves. Conrad added Poole' s statements showed a "lack of confidence" in the market, and Cramer concluded the segment with his hope that " people on Wall Street are as considerate as those in the Senate."
Mad Mail: Altria (NYSE: MO - News), Melco PBL Entertainment (NasdaqGM: MPEL - News), Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS - News) and Wynn Resorts (NasdaqGS: WYNN - News)
Cramer says there is "good news coming" at Altria with a rise of 5 points to the 70s but not the 80s, since it is a stock "everybody already owns" and has limited upside. Atlhough he liked the IPO, Cramer says MPEL is now worst of breed and prefers LVS or WYNN.

Shares of Wynn Resorts Ltd. jumped to an all-time high Tuesday, a day after the casino operator blew past Wall Street's second-quarter estimates on strong results at its Macau and Las Vegas casinos.
