so what's happened this week? sure enough, when general mills reported a very good quarter, the stock exploded to the upside. when bed bath & beyond also reported a very good quarter, it got clobbered. paychex, it said nothing good whatever about the employment rolls and that trumped pretty much everything else. so it's time to admit a bit of a bullish defeat. it's time to admit that the negative scenario that i laid out last friday is now playing out, which means we have to get a little bit more defensive here. that's what i'm doing from my charitable trust all day you can follow it all day at action alerts plus.com. i've been taking profits in some those big industrial stocks that i told you to do on friday if you saw this pattern. i've been going into more defensive names as i told you to do in the game plan because of this pattern and it's because the market ended up liking generals mills and despising

both bed, bath and paychex. in other words we have to be a tad more cautious. because the game plan said that if the market, as judged by the collective reaction from the news from these companies, chooses defense over offense, if it chooses the safety stocks over the aggressive ones, then we have to pull in if not bite our horns, just to show you what a classy guy -- i went to harvard. ugh. and then for the momwe pull on our horns and pause in our land of the 10,000 bull dances. ba-ba-ba-bum. i was trying to cue the staff and the staff's real good and i'm not. the stocks are making sense. letta out in the postproduction. the stocks are making sense and even if we don't like what they're say, i regard myself as kind of a stock whisperer is kind of like a horse whisperer when you more profitable and i'm telling you the game plan must be obeyed. not not-just that the stocks are saying that we need to be more

negative either. we got bad number, those macro numbers. these existing home sales came out today 'they were disappointing. challenge my positive thesis. we need to see the numbers to continue to improvement, they didn't. oil got clocked all week. that shows us the world wide economy isn't strong enough. it's -- it is deflationary. and it helps us prove the defensive thesis. my old friend dr. copper, the red medal that goes into pretty much all construction, has been getting crushed this week. that's the macro data, that's the stocks talking, but let me give you the real whisper that i think about. let me give you the most worrisome sign of all. i heard someone say on tv yesterday that dow 10,000 was a forgone conclusion. admittedly that's when we were running very close to dow 10,000, but i wanted to reach for the sell button to say nothing of the moot button the moment i heard it. that, plus the immediate reversal in the market right after that dow 10,000 call was

uttered, made me think, wait a second. don't ignore the game plan that you laid out on "mad money on" on friday. we have to do it, which is why i told you last night that i'm expecting a 3%, 5% decline in the market and sticking by that production, which is again, a follow-up of the game plan. dow down 9,000 is a more forgone conclusion now than dow 10,000. so why say anything good about stocks? why come out and ever talk about stocks if i feel like we're in for a pullback especial low when i'm cutting back on industrial exposure in my own charitable trust because i'm a believer in broader themes that we can fall back on as the market goes down. themes that don't wilt with the economy. themes that give you a place to buy, once we're down 3%, 5%. i always leave room it buy on the way down. i wouldn't start to go down three. i always buy in increments so you have some left if we're down five or if it goes down seven. most important i always have a shopping list ready for when stocks go lower.

as i said on the game plan on friday and reiterated last night, one theme they don't care about any near-term geirations. i didn't know what research in motion would report but i didn't care. like apple. sure enough rimm disappointed tonight. you're getting your chance to bate best smartphone at rimm reduced prices and another chance to buy at&t. comscope. because of rimm's decline. as i said about this mobile internet thesis i'm a believer and i couldn't leave these stocks if i tried which by the way is the monk's first corolla corollary. the other longterm thesis is aerospace and last week's game planner i said if obscured aircraft maintenance forecast companies said good things, a good idea to use any market weakness which again is what

we're having to pick up aerospace names like boeing. arr said good things and boeing's coming in. more for a 3% yield i think it's worth snagging and the defensive stocks that we like, eat, drink or medicate yourself with or of course legally smoke. you don't have to think much further than procter & gamble when you are trying to figure out how to get more defensive which is i why i own it at my charity trust. and looking at kimberly clarke. benefits from the reversal in the dollar. i think that it will stay weak and cheap natural gas but the most important takeaway for you home gamers here. is a game plan arrived out on friday and i do one on every friday. ahead of a week that certain milestones that are embeded that could trigger in your stance how much short term cannot be rationalized in the heat of the battle. that's why we make the game plan. that's why it's so important to know what you'll do in f any bad events occur. so they don't overtake you, blind you, stun you to be a stock market victim.

of course, this is rule number 25 in my book that's not even out yet. getting back to even. available in book stores andth. you have to know what caused your mind about the market before it happens. otherwise you are just going to make excuses for sticking to your same view. we can't do that no matter how wrong it is we can't stick with it. the game plan says, sell. the bottom line, we're staying defensive until proven otherwise. tomorrow night i will lay out a game lan for next week so we'll know ahead of time what could cause us to change and make us more upbeat but for now we're in the midst of the 3%, 5% sell-off, aided by the rimm bad number tonight, and don't forget about this market's longer term positives while you're watching it come down. we're going to start the calls with kurt from california. kurt? >> caller: hey, jim, this is kurt. and you might not want it, but here it is. 102 degrees. three hours sitting in traffic in southern california. boo-yah. >> wow. what an aggravation boo-yah. that may be the most aggravated that could be a road rage

boo-yah. not road rules but a road rage boo kbrap. >> caller: it might be. "real money" and thank you what you do. it's an honor to be on the program. >> it's an honor to have you. in paperback sold only 483 copies this week but i don't count. okay, go ahead. >> caller: all right. many relate to these drop in the markets, do drop in oil price, crude oil. however i believe it's part of a natural -- it was bound to happen before the market turns towards the upside again in early 2010. excluding the energy sector why would a dplop crude oil negatively impact stocks? wouldn't it drop in crude oil stimulate the economy, lower prices, equal reduce local operating costs? thank you. >> kurt, kurt, you raise a logical question. you're begging for rationality in a market that's irrational at times. this market is saying that when oil comes down the economy's too weak. you and i are in agreement. oil comes down, it's antiinflationary and it's bullish for the american consumer and it reduces the tax but we must obey mr. market. he says right now, short term,

we have to go down if oil's not strong enough. so, why? because kurt does ultimately have horse sense and also road rage, when it goetz 2010, we can start being more positive. hopefully it comes down enough that we can be more positive before 2010, though. we y don't we go clear across country. why don't we go to bob in new york. bob? >> caller: boo-yah, jim. thank you for taking my call. >> my pleasure. bob is that long island? >> caller: southampton. >> there you go. what's up? >> caller: we've been watching qualcomm make lower highs and lower lows since july. >> right. >> caller: we ran a regression analys analysis. one-year time period the future looks great but if you run it for a longer period of time it looks like this stock is going to move sideways as well into the future. what is your take. >> bob, you're regressing if you're using regression analysis. as i told my previous caller kurt from his road rage situation developing in southern california, we do not want to put that kind of rationality to a market with animal spirits. call com, which i own in my

charitable trust, has the best 4g platform. it's best stock they feel about in 2010 and although i feel shaky about it right now because it had such a big move. so i'm in the disagreement with bob. i'm in agreement with kurt over -- but over the long term, scurt anything to rock. all right, stay -- oh, my, it's the land of 10,000 bull dances. ♪ i'm a phony baloanee no i'm not phony. stay offensive until proven otherwise. you have to know what can change your mind before the market -- before it happens. that's why we do the game plan and cut out that part that i had earlier that i said was a plic take. so stick with cramer. coming up in this dangerous age of atms of mass destruction, jim helps you stay safe by sentencing three of them to the sell block. still ahead, try to keep up with cramer as he takes your calls rapid fire in an all-new lightning round. and later, cramer's been stumped. you put him to the test and

jim's done his homework. now the wizard of wall street has your results. 

on this show, and this show only, we are running a nonstop jihad against toxic ets, approved by our securities and exchange commission that don't do what most investors think they do. i'm talking about poisonous financial products that could blow up in your face because they're designed badly and some of the major firms are starting to ban trading them. or how about an oven that you knew could burn your whole house down or heaven forbid toys that may give your kids lead

poisoning you could bet that the media would get whipped into a frenzy and all kinds of consumers advocates would demand that the product be recalled, probably acorn. even if they come with disclaimers to tell you they don't work like they do. disclaimers of course that no one reads or knows about. maybe you want a different religious metaphor. call me a crusaders for the nonproliferation of mass destruction. remember, listen to my lingo. i'm not saying i don't work the way they're supposed to. i'm saying they don't work the way that you think they do. these are ones that could lose you a lot of money for reasons that are totally unrelated to what you actually think you're betting on. and that's why i was so thrilled that my colleague don diane at the street dwrm i am chairman had written a series of articles of what he saw the ten most dangerous ets. perfect for "the sell block."

don is the kind of watch dog that you and i need. promoted safe and approved by the s.e.c., i think they should really be bannings darn things and the federal reserve should get involved because they circumvent the margin rules. tonight for your protection i'm putting the three. in the maximum security ring in the "sell block." no possibility of parole. i would like to use cruel and unusual punishment against them. eighth amendment get in the way. by the way another way to junk the whole bill of rights with the obvious, amendment number two. what does don to be the considered most dangerous etf? go back, count ways backwards. i couldn't agree more. the direction daily financial bull 3x shares, you might know it as the symbol because it's most actively traded the most of the days. the xaf and the direction daily financial bear 3x shares the obverse and the f, a, z.

you know i hate etfs that give you double the buying or selling firepower for every dollar that you put down. i spent months going after the skf which i think allowed unscrupulous market players to short to financials with double of firepower of an ordinary sell. i think they probably cost you and me bengals of tax dollars. well, the fas and the faz from direction are even worse, according to don, because they give you triple the firepower. the first to buy, second to short. the problem with these triple leverage funds, either alongside like the fas or the short side like the fa where is the same. you may think that the fas is letting you longer term on the financials because of lots of leverage and the faz let's you bet against them with lots of leverage. that would seem to be good, right? either the financials go up and you make money in the fas or they go down and you make money in the faz. isn't that how it works? no, not at all. the way i siesy it these product

are sold for daily traders. not you and me. you could lose money in both. these funds are designed to give you triple the return of underlying index but only on a daily basis. at the end of every day the fas and the fav, like all of other double and triple-leverage funds reset. which means every day you start from scratch. the more underlying the indexes is the more it eats into your return. the prices for both of these funds were down so much even the financials have been one of the leaders of this market that they both had to do a reverse split. that's how a triple long funded and a triple short fund in the same sector can both stink and it's why the fas and the faz plonin the "sell block." consider them on stocks. do the arithmetic. do you not get back to even that way. getting back to even, it sounds like a good book title. that's what constantly wpz these etfs. second most dangerous etfs in don's book? let's reiterate it. people are trading it like

there's no tomorrow. a warning from don, about the united states natural gas funds fund. it's called the umg. even as natural gas prices have rebounded hard in the seven-week rally that we called a dram dramatic rally the ungs done nothing, basically nothing. i think that you could do much better in the actual stocks they recommended. xto, anadarko, apache, lynn that big yield. we heard from mary garber yesterday. has two problems. one it doesn't buy natural gas. seems like, it right? it buys natural gas futures contracts and that means the finesance has to roll these every month. selling the old ones. buying the new ones and when prices for natural gas in the future are higher know that the current price like they are now and then the ung will lose you money every month, every month, every month. second problem don warned us about two weeks ago is the ung stopped creating new shares. caused it to trade it as a massive premium to the net asset value of the futures. something that you knew would go away once it started to create shares again and that's why the

etf missed out on that ral low. why you should not go near this thing especially since the new shares are coming, starting on monday. what i would do of course is ban this if i were the s.e.c. but i'm not the soc -- the s.e.c. real mouth, full. it's a power share. it's the power shares db, crude oil, double short etn. and the symbol here is dto, dave, tom, over. like should be over. this one's what's called an exchange-traded note -- how did they come up with this garbage? it works -- it's like an etf only it works like a bond, not a stock. which means it's exposed to the credit risk of the company that issued it, invesco. that's probably just the tip of the iceberg. that's the first problem. you can't hold it for more than one day or volatility will start eating into your returns. or making your losses into bigger losses. but i think it has additional problems, too. the fund tracks a basket of futures contracts to bet against oil prices and it's got a big target pain on the back of its head by the regulators.

so the regulators might decide to increase position limits or impose restrictions on the number of future contracts. a fund can own. and now it really damage you if you own the dto and fin rod, the securities regulator, already said it's going to impose additional margin requirements on december 1st. another regulate or risk for the dto. what's the most worrisome issue here? >> i think it is the fund's pedigree. when the dto was first released. it was the dxo. earlier this month the dxo was shut down by its managers because it became so big it bumped up against regulate or limitations. when one. that pair goes down i start to worry about the other half the dto. i know these are all a mouthful but traded so actively, some brokerage firms, it's up to 35%. of their volume are the thanks i'm talking about. i'm not kidding that's why i'm warning you. the bottom line, a lot of bad etfs out there, toxic financial products that could blow up in your face but thanks to the great work of don.

i'm not kidding. we know the worst, and we're putting them in the "sell block." fas, faz, ung and the most dangerous etf in the world the dto. roger in the sunshine state. roger? >> caller: boo-yah, jim. a ft. myers beach, sunny boo-yah to you. and thank you for all you do. >> thank you. and let me give you i hope real estate numbers bottom. i think they did. what's in your mind? >> caller: i want to know whether the lack of regulation on the etfs will give them an unfair advantage over ordinary investors, that's home gamers and is this similar? and can this lead to another collapse? >> my first eric who happened to be a form managing director of goldman sachs was in the derivative department for 17 years, he would tell you absolutely. absolutely it is an uneven playing field that the s.e.c. under christopher cox created instruments that gives some

people an unfair advantage over others and you are spot on, roger, and thank you for bringing to the attention. maybe the s.e.c.'s listening. this is a pressing problem and they're spending all of their time worrying about dark pool. let's stay with florida. go to adam in florida. adam? >> caller: jim, boo-yah. my question today is on the xlf. with the financial institutions and the government t.a.r.p. rescue program. i'm looking at the xlf. to play the move in the banking industry. my strategy was to look at it buying a march 2010, $15 straddle on xlf/dtf. what is your opinion. >> you have a lot of premium. i have to tell you you remember i am a financial guy. i prefer to own individual banks that i like and short individual banks that i don't. i'm not an xlf guy. i would not go that way. i would pick the best and own them. i'm going to do that next week for the real estate investment trust. i'm going to talk about the best and the worst and how it's better than using the etf but if

you want to use the etf and go short the banks you don't like that's different but i would not just thus combination play. you're going to -- spend way too much money on that. go to jeremy in kansas. jeremy? >> caller: hi, jim. how are you? >> fine, jeremy, how about you? >> caller: i'm doing very well. >> getting ready for some big 12 action this weekend? >> caller: absolutely. >> you bet. >> caller: go jayhawk. >> yes. >> caller: jim, my adviser to diversify my portfolio in mutual funds and etfs and utilized large and mid small companies. fixed income and international. my question, jim, is this a good way to grow and protect my portfolio for the long term and reduce current volatility? also, is this as efficient as using individual equities. >> no you're a mooch fund of mutual funds and the whole idea is a mutual fund itself is the diversification. your financial adviser's probably doing the right thing. i was a financial adviser. a lot of great ones.

that's not my preference. i prefer to use a mutual fund, not multiple mutual funds. that's why you're a mutual fund. that's what i do for my daughters. i don't need a whole bunch of them. anyway, that's my own view, okay? a lot of good questions. a lot of good serious questions in drill down here. i want you to watch out for the britney spears toxics etfs. the don they described. it's fas. everyone knows them by the symbols. the fas, the faz, the ung and the dto -- these are financial, natural gas, oil. guys, they don't do what you think they do. stop playing with them. they're just going to hurt you. after the break i will try to save you even more money. coming up, how do your stocks stack up in a mystifying market? cramer makes sure your portfolio makes the grade on "am i diversified?" and later, and you handle the heat? cramer gets you fired up for a searing hot "lightning round." still ahead, cramer's been stumped.

hey, it's great to see you're back after that accident.

well...i couldn't have gotten by without aflac! is that different from health insurance? well yeah... ...aflac pays you cash to help with the bills that health insurance doesn't cover. really? well, if you're hurt and can't work, who's going to help pay for gas? ..the mortgage, all kinds of expenses? aflacc it's the protection you need to stay ahead of the game... exactly! aflac. we've got you under our wing. aflac, aflac, aflac... aflac, aflac, aflac would you like a pony ? yeah.

would you like a pony ? yeah ! ( cluck, cluck, cluck ) oh, wowww ! that's fun ! you didn't say i could have a real one. well, you didn't ask. even kids know when it's wrong to hold out on somebody. why don't banks ? we're ally, a new bank that alerts you when your money could be working harder and earning more. it's just the right thing to do.

when i tell you you should own a stock, that doesn't mean that you should throw all of your money in that one stock? not here. diversification is the only free lunch. that's why we play "am i diversified" every week. where you call me. you tell me your top five holdings. i tell you if your portfolio is diversified enough. why don't we start with aust nin indiana. austin, you're our first caller. >> caller: jim, all right. how about a big boo-yah for missing class? >> no, i can't do that. i was perfect attendance. i had perfect attend france kindergarten to 12 grade. >> caller: basically, i'm 19 years old. i have pretty minimal experience but i want to know if i am diversified. >> okay. >> caller: i have baxter international, bax. microsoft. children's place, the retailer.

what could we use? get a defensive in there. why don't get a general mills. okay a little general mills. so we have a little bit up and downess which is also known as volatility. why don't we go next to sydney who is in -- our third florida player. sydney? >> caller: detective cramer, this is your new best friend trashing calling from sunny, sunny and prosperous beach florida. down the road from the number one sighting of the florida gators. >> i have to tell you i do love the gators. i don't mean to get into the waive my friends who are 'noles fans, absolutely not or 'canes friends. my daughter goes to the university of florida. that's all she wrote. >> caller: beautiful. you're considered royalty down here. it shows all of the effort that you put into your show. it's terrific. >> i was looking for my crown. i don't see it here. because you know i feel like -- now i feel totally anointed.

pickle company. we had the ceo on. i thought the stock is good because the dividend's safe there. lynn energy has a dynamite dividend. i lunched with michael lynne recently and i feel really, really good. i feel really, really good about the situation there. plains american and transcanada, well, wait a second. they have too much intersection. i mean especially because you have lynne. and although you want that i would much peryou have another dividend stocks. remember you buy in kimberly-clarke if you want yield. you do have to make some changes. i still applaud what you are trying to do but it's not going to work on "am i diversified?" stay with cramer. coming up, lightning strikes. cramer goes electric taking all of your calls in a spine-chilling, overcharged lightning round. still ahead, cramer's been stumped. you put him to the test, and jim's done his homework. now the wizard of wall street has your results.

traded it as high as 55. here's what i want you to do, i want you to buy more coke. that company's en fuego. don't forget they got vitamin water my friend. buddy pal 50 cents sold vitamin water. i think that coke is terrific and i like pepsi even more but only because pepsi hasn't moved as much as coke. one more, anthony in california. anthony? >> caller: hey, jim? a san francisco 49er a bay area boo-yah. >> frank gore boo-yah. go ahead. >> caller: i was wondering about the stock that i've had for some time, oracle. orcl. >> oracle's flat liner here, just an okay quarter. nothing to write home. time to make a switch. closes one day and look at that but oracle, no longer is oracle the oracle. sales force.com is the oracle. insider selling. is that really it? i'm looking at regina, my executive producer. she's on maternity leave and suddenly she tells me that's it. she's going this to me. all right, no, i'm going like it to me. "the lightning round" is over.

what's on the minds of independent investors? let's ask. when you're trading a stock, every penny counts. i hate when the trade is done and you find out you paid more than the quote price. i want it at the price i expect... or better. td ameritrade's unique trading platform uses multiple market centers to help you find the best possible price. i like those odds. i know they can't flat out promise a better price,

but they're always looking for it. they know what matters to me. every online stock trade is always $9.99. not a penny more. and no maintenance fees. who else does that? are you ready to declare your independence? td ameritrade. independence is the spirit that drives america's most successful investors. announcer: trade commission free for 30 days, plus get 100 dollars cash, when you open an account.

on monday night's "lightning round" i got hit with two questions i could not answer. you know where i drown myself, that's right. was trumped not once but twice with a pair of stock i was not familiar with. neil from new york asked about fab row technology. i thought he was talking about fab row and my rolling iron man. andrew from new york hit me with nve corp. nvec. when you stump the cramer and g

does some research. and then he gives you answers which i want to do with both of these new yorkers right now. first dft, which is kind of really in a similar vain as the holy roman empire. what is dfd, it's a real estate investment trust, a reit. as far as tiny reits that i'm not familiar with go, it looks like it's pretty good. 90 prs is from investment grade clients with triple net nieces. they're going to stay. now, this one hit a rough patch in late 2008. it had trouble with financing. since then, the market has recovered and credit markets have eased up allowing them to push back debt to 2011. the fundamental story could be interesting. this could turn out to be an ultra stealth mobile internet play. but i need to get more clarity

on the dividend situation before i can recommend it. i would rather own a nice commercial state and real estate trust like brandywine. i know the ceo is a close watcher of the show. if you, meaning you home gamers, are really interested and send us a lot of e-mail on it, isle follow up. how about nve corp. this one is really interesting. this is a tiny little tech company. this is $265 million market cap. got dinged for over three points. it's interesting, it's fascinating but extremely speculative. it has a patented but unproven technology called m-ram. the main technology may be unproven but it's a real company. since 004, nvec has been transitioning from a company that mainly got its money from r & d contracts to one with real product sales. last quarter, 20% of its revenue came from r&d, 80% came from selling real things. recently it's been an ultra fast

grower. sales up 41%.. but it trades at 22 times earnings. now, that isn't expensive when you consider long-term growth rates around 25%. but really darn interesting. let's call it incredibly speculative, but it does have game-changing technology if it's proven. not for the faint of heart. now, i want to follow up on something we followed up on tuesday's show and i'm very proud of this. we talked about the ipo of a 1 3. this one priced at $13.50 a share. that's where i told you it would be very reasonable and for you to get in your nax mum. if you got in on the ipo, the price is right. it's now up 50% in the first day of trading but i think you would be a pig not to ring the register. i said you should pay no more than $19 for a 123, now it's above that. i want you to take a 1 off the

table. don't be greedy. it's time to ring the register and bring home the a 1. and stay with cramer. uuuuuuuuuuu

>> all right, we're staying defensive. down 3% to 5%. research in motion is a causative factor. avoid those crazy etfs. i like to say there's always a bull market somewhere. please don't give up hope after a couple of days. i'm jim cramer, stay defensive and i'll see you tomorrow.
