General Dynamics(GD - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "How much do I like the defense contractors?. ... Is there a day that Lockheed-Martin(LMT - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) doesn't have a negative article written about it? ... and they can't keep that stock down. ... No matter how much they screw up, they keep going higher. That's my kind of stock." Cramer also likes Ceradyne(CRDN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr).

Hercules Offshore(HERO - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "Mispriced, and you should be buying that. I think Hercules Offshore is a buy."

Simcere Pharma(SCR - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "It's just too dangerous for me."

Hornbeck(HOS - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I have been upgrading slowly but surely most of the domestic drillers. I'll add Hornbeck to the list."

News Corp.(NWS - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I think News Corp. is inexpensive. I think it is well run."

Six Flags(SIX - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "Inexpensive, it's like a call option on a decent summer. I say yes to Shapiro. I say yes to Six Flags."

Electronic Arts(ERTS - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I think you gotta own ERTS. I think it's a good long-term stock." Cramer also likes Activision(ATVI - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr).

Wells Fargo(WFC - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "Once again, that stock sells at 14 times earnings. If you were going to value Goldman Sachs(GS - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) at that same multiple, we would be paying 350 for Goldman Sachs." Cramer suggested swapping into Goldman, which he owns for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.

Travelzoo(TZOO - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "Expedia's(EXPE - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) better. I don't mind Travelzoo because I like the whole travel sector, but this is one of the highest-risk, highest-reward stocks."

*For all you home-gamers, a 'mon-back opportunity means Cramer would back up the figurative truck and load up on a stock.
