Continuing on this series of stocks that I began tracking earlier in the year, I found a long list that originated from Mad Money, Jim Cramer's daily show on CNBC. For a few days in Febuary and March — Feb. 26, March 7 and March 20 to be exact — I jotted down a truckload of stocks that Cramer was bullish on. Now, to be fair, he didn't say that these would be stocks to marry, to love for life. Cramer's a trader, first and foremost, of course. But it's still worth a look back to see how his recommendations have panned out more than four months later.
So, here's a look at 43 stocks that Cramer machine-gunned his way through.

Cramer's best pick? First Solar (FSLR), up 131%. Other top performers for Cramer on this list are: Foster Wheeler (FWLT), up 100%; Charter Communications (CHTR), up 46% and Chemed (CHE), which is up 44%.
All in all, 31 of the 43 picks are up, a hit rate of 72 percent. Bull market or not, that's respectable.
