On today’s STOP TRADING segment on CNBC around 2:45 PM, Jim Cramer was discussing buying shares to make money rather than to make a political statement.  Cramer would buy Schlumberger (SLB) regardless of if they do things in Sudan and he won’t discuss Darfur. 

On ITT (ITT) Cramer thinks the $100 break-up value from Merrill Lynch made a lot of sense.

On Vonage (VG) Cramer is still very negative and may be worst stock of the new century.  He laughed that they claimed a win in the patent case because some patents were not found to be guilty.
