NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- It's always darkest before the dawn, Jim Cramer said on "Mad Money" Thursday, and the dawn may finally be at hand for Europe. If that's true, he added, then it will be a game-changer for the stock market.

Cramer said he hasn't mentioned Europe of late because up until a few weeks ago there hasn't been anything positive to say. The European markets were continuing to weaken because the central bank opted to raise, rather than lower, interest rates. As the continent's economy ground to a halt, it took China with it because Europe is the largest market for Chinese goods. ...

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- "Don't build it and the profits will come," Jim Cramer told his " "Mad Money" TV show viewers Tuesday as he explored one of the driving forces behind the market's new highs -- the law of supply and demand.

Cramer explained that when demand is rising and supply is woefully behind the curve, that translates into higher prices and higher profits for the companies that are able to participate. That's exactly what's happening in the home market, he said. Our country simply isn't building enough homes to meet the growing demand. The result? Higher home prices across the country and rising profits for the home builders and for any company that makes things that go into a home.

But there are also shortages in other sectors, Cramer said, such as the hotel sector. There haven't been any major hotels built since the financial crisis began, and that means more profits for all those that are currently standing.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The Federal Reserve signaled it's staying the course and you should, too, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Wednesday as he responded to the Fed's decision to leave interest rates alone and not repeat history.

Cramer said there's no denying that some parts of the U.S. economy, such as retail and housing, are heating up in a big way. But as Caterpillar and FedEx both showed us today, other parts of the economy -- mainly manufacturing and exports -- still have a long way to go.

So why would Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke risk raising interest rates when clearly the economy isn't completely back on its feet? Add to that the looming sequester, which promises to lay off thousands of government workers, and it's easy to see why Bernanke has chosen to be cautious, Cramer said. ...

NEW YORK (ETF Expert) -- According to Gov. Mitt Romney, extreme environmentalism in the current White House has obstructed high-paying jobs in the oil and gas sector.

Indeed, "Drill, Baby, Drill" is more than a Republican mantra. Romney believes that abundant natural gas in North America is an avenue for reducing unemployment, lowering fuel costs and lessening dependence on foreign fossil fuels.

President Obama counters that the United States must pursue alternative, renewable sources of energy. The president maintains that forward-thinking government initiatives will create "green" jobs for the future, establish energy independence as well as preserve the environment. ...
