Jim Cramer's Portfolios of the Week

Stockpickr Staff

Jim Cramer continues to tell investors that they need to stay defensive in this bear market. He says that now isn't the time to be taking a lot of risk or investing too heavily in equities with the economic outlook so uncertain.

Cramer has been persistent about recommending only the high-yielding stocks, companies trading at or near their cash levels and recession-resistant plays with good dividends. He says these types of stocks are the best places for investors to hide in a recessionary environment.

Cramer insists that no matter what the market throws at him, he'll always be able to find a bull market somewhere.

Recently, he highlighted cheap stocks, including General Electric(GE Quote); companies that reported strong quarters, such as Colgate(CL Quote); and infrastructure stocks, including Fluor(FLR Quote). 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).
