This sell block also includes Arch Coal (ACI - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), Massey Energy (MEE - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and International Coal (ICO - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), he added.

People must scale out of coals and get into natural gas because "2008 is going to be the year for natural gas," Cramer said.

He said he likes XTO Energy, which he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, Apache (APA - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), Anadarko (APC - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and ConocoPhillips (COP - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), another Action Alerts PLUS name.

"Sell the coal into Christmas," Cramer recommended. "I'd rather see you have coal in your stockings than in your portfolio."

Ready for Launch

GeoEye's (GEOY - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) Matthew O'Connell joined Cramer on his show, where the CEO said his commercial satellite imagery company now has an official launch date for its third satellite.

Currently the satellite is going through final testing and will be launched this April, O'Connell said.

Furthermore, the team behind the operation is first class, he said. General Dynamics (GD - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) built the satellite, Boeing (BA - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) is doing the launch and ITT (ITT - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) made the cameras, O'Connell said. "We paid up to get a great team."

Cramer said GeoEye is a great speculative stock and is going to stay a great speculative stock. He believes the company has a great crew, and the launch should go well. Let's stick with it here, Cramer advised.

Lightning Round

Cramer was bullish on Vodafone (VOD - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), Verizon (VZ - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), Unilever (UN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), Hologic (HOLX - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), FCStone Group (FCSX - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), Best Buy (BBY - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), Costco (COST - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), Sonic (SONC - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), Diamond Offshore (DO - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and Transocean (RIG - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr).

At the time of publication, Cramer was long Hologic, Transocean, XTO Energy and ConocoPhillips.
