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.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
