"There's so much on our plate next week ... we need a double game plan," Jim Cramer told viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show Friday.

There are several names that could move higher on strong news next week and some names that should be avoided.

First, Cramer said, take a look at Brocade (BRCD). The software company is set to host an analyst meeting on March 29, during which Cramer expects Brocade will raise its estimates. After the analyst meeting the stock should propel higher, said Cramer; therefore, he advised buying some before Thursday's meeting.

Usually Cramer doesn't recommend Cisco's (CSCO) competitors, but there is speculation here that Cisco could buy Brocade. He suggested people check out the portfolio on Stockpickr.com called Who Will Cisco Buy Next?.

The only tech stocks Cramer likes as investments are Apple (AAPL) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), the latter of which he owns for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust. But he feels Brocade is a good trade and a stock worth playing in this "hideous" tech sector.

In addition, Cramer said Phillips-Van Heusen (PVH), CarMax (KMX), Accenture (ACN) and DSW (DSW) are all reporting next week and he expects strong earnings from all of them.

His stock pick of the week on earnings, however, was Movado (MOV). He told market players to get in on Wednesday before it reports on Thursday, as he expects a "substantial upside surprise" will deliver an uptick in the stock price.
