Cramer is RIGHT. The caller had an ACCOUNT at Bear Stearns. His question was, “should I take my money out?” Cramer’s answer was: “don’t be silly.” There’s no reason to do that. And Cramer was right about that. The caller doesn’t go down with BSC, if it goes bankrupt. He still owns what he owns. He would just have to move his portfolio over to Fidelity. Now, his portfolio is with JPMorganChase.
Cramer was NOT advising him to stay in BSC stock.

"It’s over. The Clintons have defeated him already, because he is leaving South Carolina as "the black candidate." He won’t win another state," – Michael Graham.
"I am so confident of both a Patriots win today and a Romney win in Massachusetts on Tuesday that I made this pledge on the air Friday: ‘If the NY Giants beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl, I will vote cast my Super Duper Tuesday primary vote for (shudder) John McCain.’" – Michael Graham, NRO.

"For all intents and purposes, McCain’s campaign is over. The physicians have pulled up the sheet; the executors of the estate are taking over. Paying bills and winding down – not strategizing, organizing, and getting the message out – will be the order of the day," – Charlie Cook, National Journal, last July.
I actually saw the logic of McCain’s victory back in November. My Times of London column holds up pretty well:
The odds against McCain are still high. But he is not unimaginable as the nominee. It’s worth recalling that in December 2003, at about this time in the primary cycle, John Kerry had a national rating of 4%. If one establishment Vietnam vet can come back from the political dead to win the nomination it can happen again.

"[Bill] Clinton doesn’t like to play an overtly political role anymore; he enjoys the statesmanlike aura that surrounds any ex-president, and he is not about to undermine it, even for his wife’s campaign," – Matt Bai, New York Times Magazine, December 23, 2007.
He admirably cops to it here. Glossary for Dish award criteria here.
