TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says that even in lousy markets -- and this is one of them -- you can find stocks to buy.

When nothing's working, something's working. I know sounds counterintuitive. but there is simply no reason to think, as bad as this market is -- and it is really, really bad -- that there isn't something to buy.

We are gripped by the fear of the remaining black holes -- Ford (NYSE: F) (Cramer's Take), GM (NYSE: GM) (Cramer's Take), Fannie (NYSE: FNM) (Cramer's Take) and Freddie (NYSE: FRE) (Cramer's Take), AI...

Kramer, as long as you are just doing short term trading...nice call. If you think this is over I think you are truly MADD. Ring the register and sell. You are dancing on the blades of a cuisinart one misstep and you are going to be sliced and diced. I think you are being borderline irresponsible recommending to a bunch of retail investors to buy this stock!

Cramer I have gone through your list and I must admit that I think you have truly lost it. I don't think I have ever disagreed with someones entire list. Buy GM- LOL, how could you possibly think GM is a buy? Buy AIG? not with your money. FNM- who needs to raise billions of dollars. You must be kidding either that or you got a tap on the shoulder telling you to be bullish or you were out of a job. Come on Jim you are much smarter than this! You are going to get a bunch of mom and pops hung in stocks that are far more likely to implode than rally. Sure you will get short squeeze pops but you gotta know that the entire financial sector is on the verge of imploding. Instead of telling people to stop trading you should tell them to stop listening!

Wrong again Cramer! It was absolutely as bad as it seemed. In fact, it was worse. It was a great call, however, buying that bounce but like I said at the time you called it, you won't get anyone out of the position before it turns and you are going to wind up getting hammered. Your viewers should stop listening to you!

Cramer, You have proven to be everything I expected you to be....except worse. How many mom and pops investors did you bury with your latest....It isn't as bad as it seems comment. You would have been better off quoting Chairman Mao who said "it is always darkest before it is totally black"

I see that Cramer has been looking at my portfolio. I agree buy on weakness, sell on strength. I learned this from my Tia Chi training.
