The market is looking good because of several important breakouts led by AIG (AIG Quote - Cramer on AIG - Stock Picks) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ Quote - Cramer on JNJ - Stock Picks), said Jim Cramer on his TheStreet.com TV video Thursday.

Cramer owns the two stocks for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS.

Cramer also cited retail, drug and technology stocks as improving. He said that the market has turned incredibly bullish despite "the orb of expiration" that had previously trapped it.

"I think that people should understand that the mark time we've had since the month began may be over right now," he said.

What does this mean for investors?

First, get in your best tech stock, Cramer said, adding that he has been looking at Research In Motion (RIMM Quote - Cramer on RIMM - Stock Picks) and Apple(AAPL Quote - Cramer on AAPL - Stock Picks) but that he also believes Microsoft's (MSFT Quote - Cramer on MSFT - Stock Picks) Vista and video-game maker Electronic Arts (ERTS Quote - Cramer on ERTS - Stock Picks) could work.

Marvell Tech (MRVL Quote - Cramer on MRVL - Stock Picks) and Seagate Technology (STX Quote - Cramer on STX - Stock Picks), two stocks he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, definitely are right.

As for drugs, Cramer said he has been focusing on JNJ because of the Pfizer (PFE Quote - Cramer on PFE - Stock Picks) acquisition, and he believes that it's going way higher. Conversely, Cramer believes that Schering-Plough(SGP Quote - Cramer on SGP - Stock Picks), another stock he owns for his charitable trust Action Alerts PLUS, seems a bit high for now.

In the oils, Cramer said he is watching Exxon (XOM Quote - Cramer on XOM - Stock Picks), which is headed back to $80.

He disagrees with the recent Chevron (CVX Quote - Cramer on CVX - Stock Picks) downgrade at $72. He advised investors to watch Lowe's (LOW Quote - Cramer on LOW - Stock Picks) above $31 and Sears Holdings (SHLD Quote - Cramer on SHLD - Stock Picks), which he said has always been trapped at the strike and then gone up after expiration. Cramer also owns Sears for his charitable trust.

All in all Cramer said the market looks good, adding that Citigroup (C Quote - Cramer on C - Stock Picks) did not go down after recent news from CEO Charles Prince and that Bank of America (BAC Quote - Cramer on BAC - Stock Picks) did not make what Cramer called a "bad" acquisition.

"When I see the insurance stocks all breaking out here, I got finance going for me, I got drugs going for me, I got tech going for me ... this market's going higher."

At the time of publication, Cramer was long Johnson & Johnson, Sears Holdings, AIG, Schering-Plough and Marvell Tech.
