Jim Cramer's Portfolios of the Week

James Altucher

Jim Cramer says that without the passing of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's bailout plan, the market could be in for some serious trouble. He even made the dire prediction that if the plan isn't passed, the Dow could fall under 8400 in a worst-case scenario.

Cramer doesn't want to see that happen. And he is smart enough and experienced enough to know that when the market is facing too many headwinds, it's best to remain on the sidelines or get defensive.

Cramer will find the bull market that comes out of this uncertain stock market environment. Just make sure you're paying attention so you can know not only where that bull market is but also how to profit from it.

Recently, Cramer found opportunity in stocks that will win if the bailout plan is passed, such as Goldman Sachs(GS Quote); stocks linked to hedge funds, such as BP(BP Quote); and stocks to avoid due to Boeing's(BA Quote) labor dispute. Here are some Cramer highlights from over the past week as aggregated from his "Mad Money" TV show, the "Stop Trading!" segment on CNBC and his RealMoney blog posts (these blog post links require a RealMoney subscription).
