In Friday’s video on ThStreet.com Cramer noted AIG & MO:

Altria (MO) and AIG (AIG) are both buys here: AIG was noted as a cheap stock and it is his favorite stock that tends to act "like one giant bond" and it has gone from $65 to $72 and even though Hank Greenberg has been selling, it has the most going for it out of insurers and it is the cheapest in the group.  Altria (MO) is only up 13% this year and it is a buy according to Cramer, going higher.

He still likes and is buying Transocean (RIG) in oil drilling and services.

On Thursday’s MAD MONEY

He noted GSI Commerce (GSIC) as the good way to play the holidays and ecommerce as they are winning over Amazon.com.  Cramer also went over why you should buy J.Crew (JCG) on pullbacks.

On Thursday’s STOP TRADING segment he went over F5 (FFIV) as a tech stock he adores and he called it outright cheap compared to AKAM.

On Thursday’s video on thestreet.com Cramer was still positive in tech & oil:
Cramer likes these in tech: RIMM/AAPL/MRVL/STX/ERTS.  He still likes J&J (JNJ), but said Schering Plough (SGP) seems to be up too much for now.  Cramer was still positive on Chevron (CVX) & Exxon (XOM).

On Wednesday’s MAD MONEY Cramer interviewed Halliburton’s (HAL) CEO and stayed behind the company again.  He also said he likes Time Warner (TWX) over Comcast (CMCSA) because it has more of an upside compared to Comcast.  In raw value plays he said that AT&T (T) offered more value and upside compared to Verizon (VZ) from here.

On Wednesday’s STOP TRADING Cramer said that eBay (EBAY, Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) were all still going higher.   He had also defended those names on his new daily video on thestreet.com.

In his video CVramer also noted that General Electric (GE) is just starting to get interesting after the dividend hike.

ON Tuesday evening’s MAD MONEY CRamer noted 3 IPO: He was positive on Guidance Software (GUID) and on IPG Photonics (IPGP), but he salammed the Artes Medical (ARTE) IPO.

On STOP TRADING on Tuesday Cramer noted that PHARMA isn’t working, and he said he had to remember not to be tricked into thinking that Best Buy’s (BBY) woes were anything permanent.

On his video segment Tuesday Cramer said he liked Halliburton (HAL) and Coe Labs NV (CLB).  He noted the weakness in Pahrma then too except for Celgene (CELG) and Genentech (DNA).

On Monday’s MAD MONEY Cramer backed Daktronics (DAKT) and lamar (LAMR) as the way to win in the digital advertising on outdoor screens.

On Monday’s STOP TRADING segment Cramer was positive on Wells Fargo (WFC) because he felt they knew what they were doing in sub-prime loans.  He also noted AT&T (T) and Cisco (CSCO) positively.  He was also positive on Allegiant (ALGT) after its IPO as he thought it was overlooked.
