Cramer Defends Retail & Wal-Mart

Today on CNBC’s STOP TRADING, Jim Cramer came out saying today’s sell-off is justifiable, but he’s still very bullish.  He’s a buyer of retail stocks on weakness because this was already expected to be bad.  He likes all retail but he thinks Wal-Mart (WMT-NYSE) is trading in an anticipatory phase.  He thinks it wants to go to $50.00 and the fact that it is barely down on a crummy day is telling you this.  JCPenney (JCP-NYSE) and Kohls (KSS-NYSE) he also noted.

You can watch our CNBC appearance video at this link or just read some further opinion on this subject.  Wal-Mart really does feel like the company is close to an anticipation event ahead of its board meeting.  What that is could be anything.  I still think Lee Scott needs to go, but there are numerous things that Wal-Mart can do as a better start.
