PetroChina (PTR Quote): "One of my four horsemen of China" along with Baidu (BIDU Quote), China Telecom (CHA Quote) and Focus Media (FMCN Quote). "Even though the stock has gone up voluminously, I'm telling people don't sell yet ... 20% of your portfolio in Cramerica can be in a speculative stock," and PetroChina fits that mold.

Pacific Capital(PCBC Quote): "You can't be in these ... all these little banks are absolutely pain, pain, pain."

AspenBio (APPY Quote): "Diagnostics are king ... My favorite is Inverness (IMA Quote) Med ... I'd rather be in mine than yours." Cramer owns Inverness for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS.

Teck Cominco (TCK Quote): "We liked this stock so much lower, I should have reiterated" that mining companies like CVRD (RIO Quote), BHP Billiton (BHP Quote), Lundin Mining (LMC Quote) and Freeport McMoRan (FCX Quote) are all buys. The mining space is "very different because of China."

Sohu (SOHU Quote): "I am putting China in the speculative space. ... It's not one of those four that I feel should be bedrock." Cramer said one speculative stock in a portfolio is OK.

Accuray(ARAY Quote): "This is a robotic company ... I'm gonna send you out of yours ... into Intuitive Surgical (ISRG Quote). Don'tBuyDon'tBuy."

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