Cramer’s First 1/3 of Bottoming Stocks

On tonight’s MAD MONEY on CNBC, Jim Cramer said the market escaped a bad day but the damage has been done.  Cramer thinks you can go bottom fishing after a very big drop, so he focuses on the most discounted stocks and you have to have plan knowing not everything bottoms at the same time. 

The first 1/3 that bottomed is what you find in the supermarkets and inside the medicine cabinets and those rallied and can still be bought: 

P&G (PG) can go up another point; others you can buy are Colgate (CL), Clorox (CLX), General Mills (GIS), Heinz (HNZ).  But Altria (MO) excites him the most with a recession proof business and a 4% yield plus the coming break-up.  Cramer thinks the rules of the past have changed and you can’t buy Pfizer (PFE) or Eli Lilly (LLY) because they have risk; he thinks you can buy some biotech like Celgene (CELG) and Gilead (GILD) regardless of a slowdown.
