Mylan Laboratories (MYL): "Can't go there. ... The drug guys have never made me a lot of money. ... The only drug stocks I've ever cared for are some biotech companies," such as Celgene (CELG) and Gilead Sciences (GILD).

Real Money Previews

Fuel Tech (FTEK): "I like that as a spec. ... This is the company that has a nitrogen oxide solution. ... I'm not bailing. You shouldn't either."

Usana Health Sciences (USNA) is "too high-risk for me," Cramer said. Instead, he likes Herbalife (HLF). "It really has a wellness principle. ... That's my pick."

Crocs (CROX) "has captured America. ... I think Crocs ... goes higher" until four more analysts cover it. "Then, only then, are we ringin' the register."

JetBlue Airways (JBLU): "JetBlue is another airline that's problematic. ... JetBlue is a distinctly bearish equation. If you need an airline, it's GOL." Cramer also recommended two related plays, Genesis Lease (GLS) and Boeing (BA).

Tesco (TESO): "When do we decide to get off the oil-service game? The answer is not yet. This group is still cheap. ... And you know that I like King Hal (Halliburton (HAL))." Cramer owns Halliburton for Action Alerts PLUS.

Input/Output (IO): "Seismic data, you know I like that very much." Cramer thinks Input/Output is "one more great oil-service stock that can go higher."

Trinity Industries (TRN): "In the end, it's still so darn cheap, I don't think it can hurt you. ... I am blessing you to hold on to Trinity."

Marathon Oil (MRO): "Everyone just says, 'Wait a second. How can the oils keep going up?' ... They sell at 10 times earnings, like marathon. Marathon ... is still cheap. ... I want to stay with Marathon."

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