6. Goldman Sachs(GS Quote - Cramer on GS - Stock Picks): The golden child of Wall Street is looking a bit tarnished recently, as rumors swirl that they will report losses just like all the other investment banks have done. I don't see any merit in these rumors, but they have been persistent enough to drive the stock down over 70 points from its Oct. 31 high of $250.70. The bears are in charge of this stock in the near-term, but it's too late to sell. If you own it currently, I would hold on. If you are looking to buy GS, I would wait to see the price levels (high $150's) from last August's panic selling. -- HOLD
7.
Microsoft(MSFT Quote - Cramer on MSFT - Stock Picks): This stock is a steal at these price levels. Yes, the YHOO bid has produced some near-term uncertainties, but I like their aggressive push to challenge Google. --
BUY
8.
Verizon(VZ Quote - Cramer on VZ - Stock Picks): With Verizon, it is all about yield and FiOS. This telecom is a safer play with a bountiful yield of 4.5% to cushion any weakness in an anxious market. But, you also get solid growth exposure with the rapid FiOS deployment to challenge the incumbent cable companies. --
BUY
9.
EMC(EMC Quote - Cramer on EMC - Stock Picks): I am re-evaluating my position on this tech company. The dilemma is the stock is ridiculously cheap on a valuation basis and has solid fundamentals. But, the stock has done nothing and goes nowhere fast. Stay tuned. --
HOLD
10.
Cisco Systems(CSCO Quote - Cramer on CSCO - Stock Picks): A nice little bounce this past week for Chambers & Co. In the near-term, I unfortunately don't see too much more upside. But for long-term investors, any weakness should be bought as this company is a winner in the end. As I said last week, buy this one for your IRA and forget about it. --
BUY
