Decent volume after hours and a good price pop that climbed steadily after hours. The stock was down $1.18 during the regular hours so the after hours brought it into the green by about 30-cents. Pushing the upper limit of prices considered for shorting but the volume and price increase were strong enough to consider this an opportunity for tomorrow morning.

Finally as a Christmas play, Cramer recommended Safeway Inc. (SWY) because of their gift cards.

The stock was up $0.91 today so it seems pretty played out with the after hours price only up a small amount. Cramer said there was an analyst meeting tomorrow for the company, so this one could be driven by any news that comes out of that, so it would be safe to stay away in case there are bullish comments.
