NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- We want dividends from stocks, not coupons from bonds, Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Monday as he offered investment advice for this week's Powerball lottery winner and the founder of Tumblr, who also received a big payday courtesy of Yahoo! .

Cramer explained that his usual advice for the super-rich is that "you only need to get rich once," thus sticking with safe investments makes the most sense. That's why his typical portfolio would include foreign investments, along with gold, high-end real estate and even paintings, with very little invested in risky equities. For the moderately rich, equities are also too risky, and Cramer said he used to recommend U.S. Treasury bonds along with corporate and municipal bonds. ...

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- As long as earnings continue to exceed expectations, this market won't see a meaningful pullback, Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Friday as he laid out his game plan for next week's trading.

Cramer said Monday he'll be watching Campbell's Soup , which is now overvalued against its historical average. He said investors need to pay attention to this stock as a bellwether for the rest of its sector, and he's not betting on a strong quarter or a strong reaction.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- A company and its stock aren't the same thing, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Friday. He dedicated the show to educating investors as to how stocks really work and what makes them move.

Cramer said it's easy to assume a company and its stock are synonymous, but that's simply not the case. While over the long haul winning companies usually produce winning stocks, it would be irrational to think the two will move in lockstep with each other. There are, after all, tons of factors that can make a stock fall, many of which have little to do with the performance at the company itself. ...

Cramer explained that the market's big move in recent weeks started off well enough, with high-yielding dividend stocks leading the way. Those stocks were followed by the food, drug and beverage names, also great companies. Then the transports and technology names rallied, he said, followed most recently by the industrials, oils and mineral stocks. That was all well and good, until yesterday. ...

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. ...
