Cramer on today’s STOP TRADING said the Microsoft (MSFT-NASDAQ) deal for aQuantive (AQNT-NASDAQ) is a game changer.  If they willpay $6 Billion to buy AQNT, then what is coming in the land grab against Google.  Yahoo! (YHOO-NASDAQ) is one that could merge with Microsoft to put Google on the effensive.  He even thinks Yahoo! could do something with eBay (EBAY-NASDAQ).  Cramer says it isn’t doing well on its numbers but it has too much traffic to ignore and called it a buy here.

Cramer also decided to slam the Verizon (VZ-NYSE) upgrade that was so obviously late to the party.

Under Armour (UA-NYSE) reports next week, Cramer thinks it has gotten too cheap and he thinks it is done going down.
