TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says the bears simply won't hear the positives -- but he'll keep hammering them home.

Lots of things are coming together for housing, but nobody seems to care. We had Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) (Cramer's Take) the other day offer attractive interest-only mortgage loans to those in trouble, a bet that eventually housing will go higher. We had Fannie (NYSE: FNM) (Cramer's Take) allow people in trouble to rent to stay in their homes, and the government is going to extend the tax credit for homebuyers and broaden it. Plus, mortgage rates went under 5% again.

But nobody cared. No one.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says you can be bearish, but you have to admit when you're wrong.

Oh boy, I hit a nerve. My last two days of donning the bear suit and imitating the bears has brought on a cacophony of critics, all of whom think that I am attacking them personally! That's right, they think I have read them, seen them and heard them and that I am spoofing them or making fun of them.

Moreover, they think that I am wildly bullish and that I am mocking them for not wanting to buy things here.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says stocks like WellPoint are buys again because the months of rhetoric will end.

Buy WellPoint (NYSE: WLP) (Cramer's Take). Right now. That's what I thought the moment I saw Chris Christie's shocking triumph in my home state last night. It was a stunning referendum of the anti-jobs nature of health care and how the Democrats are now being tagged with job losses and a health care obsession that hurts hiring.

Not everyone has a seat as safe as Nancy Pelosi. Many have seats thought to be as safe as Corzine's. They have to be shaking today.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says opportunistic mergers help deliver value to shareholders during difficult times.

The companies aren't oblivious to this difficult environment. It isn't just that they look at the futures and say, "Uh oh, here comes another bad one" -- the reaction we all feel today. No, it doesn't work like that. They realize that growth's been lowered worldwide and that they can't do it on their own because they don't have critical mass and they have to give up and get together with others in their industries to bring out value.

Black & Decker (NYSE: BDK) (Cramer's Take) and Encore (NYSE: EAC) (Cramer's Take) came to this exact same conclusion at the same time. They just can't make more money for their shareholders independently than they can with other partners. With Encore settling for Denbury's (NYSE: DNR) (Cramer's Take) bid and Black & Decker agreeing to be acquired by Stanley Works (NYSE: SWK) (Cramer's Take), both are settling for about half of what their companies were worth two years ago. But the world has changed in two years, and a lot of the rosy scenarios that justified being independent have to be reconsidered.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer wonders whether the big selloff was caused by anxious managers locking in profits.

What happens if it is was mostly lock-in action? What if the big themes that everyone so feared weren't so big, and that the selloff -- so ugly, with so much damage -- was just technical and remains that way?

Besides my oft-repeated statement that I don't expect a pullback to exceed 7%, I think this market didn't make a lot of sense last week.

Here were the big themes: dollar getting stronger, causing a decline in minerals and resources; industrials faltering; recession stocks roaring back.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says you can't give up on Tessera and SBA Communications based on one bad quarter.

Tessera (NASDAQ: TSRA) (Cramer's Take) and SBA Communications (NASDAQ: SBAC) (Cramer's Take) "blow up" last night and you have to think, "The tsunami's over," that the smartphone revolution's not occurring.

To which I say, no one likes the blowups, no one likes the guidedowns, but, like Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) (Cramer's Take), these are all multiyear stories that can't be judged on a quarter. The idea that we do not need more cell towers with smartphone data hogs like the iPhone out there, and the idea that miniaturization and cooler computers (Tessara's strengths) are played out, makes no sense to me.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer still doesn't like this market -- the good GDP figure isn't enough to sustain us.

You know when you have gotten too negative? When you pick up the paper and the lead story is "Slump Sinks Visa Program," and you say, "That's it! I can't take it ... Visa was the one bright spot in my portfolio, and now they've taken that away!"

Then you read the story and you know it is not about bank fee rates or credit card usage or congressional bashing for once, but about a skilled workers program. It has nothing to do with the red-hot Visa (NYSE: V) (Cramer's Take) at all.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says taking down all of software on the back of this outlook is a mistake.

And on the fifth down day, we decided that SAP's (NYSE: SAP) (Cramer's Take) butt getting kicked means the industry is faltering? This is the thought that went through my head when I saw SAP's disappointing news and its alibi that business is weak. That's why it stumbled. Of course, SAP's comments immediately took all of Europe down. Nobody said, "Hey, maybe it is SAP's fault because Oracle's (NASDAQ: ORCL) (Cramer's Take) kicking their butt." No one said, "Sure it is weak, because in the end Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) (Cramer's Take) got a better mousetrap."

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says perhaps he can learn from Gov. Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania, who has become a believer in the fuel.

Maybe President Obama can make the transition to natural gas that Ed Rendell just did in Pennsylvania. The transition is a simple one: Focus on jobs and many things go well; don't focus on jobs and you aren't focused on anything.

When I first heard of the Marcellus Shale from Aubrey McClendon of Chesapeake (NYSE: CHK) (Cramer's Take), I was pretty much in disbelief. How could there be so much natural gas in some place in western Pennsylvania? Too good to be true.

The Street.com's Jim Cramer says that after a tough week, the semiconductor industry finally gets some good news.

Will Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) (Cramer's Take) give what TriQuint (NASDAQ: TQNT) (Cramer's Take) and Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM) (Cramer's Take) took away?

Last week, we had the one-two punch of TriQuint and Broadcom really making the whole Internet tsunami look more like a tropical storm. They both talked about withering demand, and Broadcom verified the bears' double-order thesis, but this morning Marvell says that things are on target, there's no wavering and demand is strong. Bears can take their pick.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says that as long as we're trapped in a commoditized stock market, use the futures to go bargain-hunting.

What if individual stocks want to go up, but the market wants to go down? Don't laugh. In 1982, when The Kansas City Board of Trade started trading Value Line futures (before there were S&P futures), we used to kick around in securities classes what would happen if eventually stocks became so commoditized that individual companies couldn't be removed from the gravitational pull.

For example, we know today looks like a terrible day, with Europe down horribly and our futures real soggy. But then we look and see that J. Crew (NYSE: JCG) (Cramer's Take), one of the best retailers, is not just saying that the fall season is good; it is saying it is blowout beyond imagination. The big Dow stock 3M (NYSE: MMM) (Cramer's Take) is not just saying that things are getting better; it is showing that business is very strong. The monster insurer and fellow Dow stock Travelers (NYSE: TRV) (Cramer's Take) is boosting the dividend and showing you how a responsible financial can behave.

The Street.com's Jim Cramer says that they should recognize that what's more important than being a bear is being right.

Ah, the lot of the bear is a beautiful lot -- never wrong, always having fun at the bullish optimists, never going down for defeat. For them, every day is a day when the St. Louis Cardinals will face the Boston Red Sox in the World Series, even after they have been eliminated.

Cases in point: two reports yesterday on Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN) (Cramer's Take) from the Joy Luck Bear Club, Christopher Danely from JPMorgan and Alex Gauna from JMP Securities. Both of these gentlemen have fought the good but totally wrong fight against Texas Instruments. After what was a monumentally good quarter for the company, Gauna, who has Texas Instruments as an "underperform," raised his price target dramatically from $16 to $18. That would be totally in keeping with the direction of the earnings (way up), except that the stock's at $23.50.

The Street.com's Jim Cramer says that it's awful knowing that Galleon had every single nuance of the next Intel call.

The call. The edge. The inside scoop. At one point, you could have it. At one point, before Regulation Fair Disclosure (FD), persistence, hard work, going to meetings, doing everything you could to learn a company entitled you to a callback from the company. The rules were clear: If you got something that was material and non-public, you couldn't trade on it, you were frozen. But there were some blurred lines and the intensive research shops with great industry contacts could get an ever-so-slight heads up that could make a difference. Or you could go to a one-on-one where management might let slip something no one had, and you could have that momentary head start.

But Regulation FD ended all that. All the insider calls, the disclosure at one-on-ones, anything that smacked even of proprietary information. The rules were no longer voluntary. It wasn't a question of freezing. It was a question of talking. You couldn't talk to "them." Hedge funds could not talk one-on-one to anyone of authority at a company. The insider would face prosecution, do you weren't even supposed to try.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says that from a chart perspective, this could be about the greatest bull market in history.

Chart to chart to chart this weekend and all I see, except for a couple of health maintenance, medical device and drug companies plus some fertilizer stocks, is just a remarkable and, yes, unheralded run in every single group.

Some of them are of the pure recovery style: every oil and gas, now including refinery, as the crude price inches back to $100 and natural gas has started its way back up; the life insurers that were left for dead when we decided that all commercial mortgages would be destroyed taking them with the bad loans; the overly-indebted companies like Textron (NYSE: TXT) (Cramer's Take) that have roared back without any real support from anyone.

But others are just monumental. Anything paper or wood or glass. These aren't quitting.

The Street.com's Jim Cramer says that it's too soon to think about selling the semis, the PCs, the components, the DRAMs.

When do we sell the semis? The DRAMS? The flash? When do we get out of the hard drives?

These are legit questions, but the people who are asking, "When do we sell Micron (NYSE: MU) (Cramer's Take), Western Digital (NYSE: WDC) (Cramer's Take) and SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) (Cramer's Take)?" are the very people who told you never to own them.

That's the conundrum of this semi cycle and PC cycle. Just as we are finally hitting our stride and we realize that the semi cycle is alive and well again, AND NOT JUST RE-STOCKING, all over the papers, including the Wall Street Journal, we see reports crying, "When do we sell?"

The Street.com's Jim Cramer says that reasonable people who believe the market is a reasonable place to make money are getting back in.

People are getting back to even. In the last 72 hours I have spoken to about 500 investors -- or at least 500 book buyers! -- many of whom have told me they recently either got back to even, having dodged the big decline or gotten in near the bottom, or are actually up nicely because they saw the opportunity in March and rode it back up.

I always figure when you meet people it is strictly anecdotal. But when you meet 500 of them it crosses over into empirical. Here's what I saw of this particular cross-section.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says call-sellers will be frantically trying to bring in their annuity calls after Intel's report.

Oh no, a second time. A second time that all of that juicy premium attracted call sellers who are now going to be frantically trying to bring in their annuity calls -- the Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) (Cramer's Take) October 20s, 21s and 22s, or the Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) (Cramer's Take) October 25s and 26s, or the Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) (Cramer's Take) 45s and 46s and 47s and so many other calls that have been great sells forever that are now going to cause you to lose your stock Friday.

I never liked selling calls against common stock because I never liked cutting off my upside, like the upside that you will get today in Intel.

You have to love a good statement downgrade. It's one where you want impact, headlines, notoriety. One where you want to say, "I want this sucker to go down and I am going to take it down."

Which is the brilliance of the call of Meredith Whitney's downgrade of Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) (Cramer's Take) today. Not only can she say, "We have reached the peak," she can also give the appearance of being a bull until now.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says you take your life into your own hands if you fade the opening in today's market.

A year ago with the futures up, all you could think of is how much you wanted to "fade" that opening, how great it would be just to lay out any shorts into strength. You could choose pretty much anything going into earnings season.

The techs? Last good quarter. The banks? A travesty. You didn't even know if the banks you are short would survive. The oils? Free fall. The metals? Amazing downward pressure coming from hedge fund redemptions. The insurers? Will they make it? Retail? The balance sheets looked terrible going into what would be a terrible holiday selling season. The autos and auto-related? Disaster.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says the relentless ascent can only point to a belief that Congress will put jobs on the front burner.

Washington's listening. I think that Washington has had its fill of health care talk and is anxious to focus on jobs. President Obama wants to dither now with carbon capture, content that the stimulus plan, however bogus it was, is doing the job. But Congress senses that they are 13 months from a debacle and they are going to bring employment to the front burner.

That's what I think the market is saying. When I spoke to Dan DiMicco last night, the CEO from Nucor (NUE) (Cramer's Take), he showed devastating evidence of the real unemployment, now at about 18%, and the lack of job creation coming out of this recession compared to the last four recessions.
