Cramer's 'Stop Trading!': Bullish Biotech Bets

We're seeing a repeat cycle for biotech stocks, Jim Cramer told viewers of CNBC's "Stop Trading" segment Monday.

Merck (MRK Quote - Cramer on MRK - Stock Picks) is up on the day, but "Gilead (GILD Quote - Cramer on GILD - Stock Picks) is my favorite," said Cramer.

Cramer said we are seeing the same "trade into the highest-growth biotech names" that we did in 1990, and the cycle is "happening again." He also urged people to notice that "we're seeing big bets being made for the third quarter" and that "biotech is the most visible bet."

Turning to supermarkets, Cramer offered his take on Kroger (KR Quote - Cramer on KR - Stock Picks). Despite saying it's being the "least forward thinking" of the major supermarkets, he said, Kroger's stock is "flirting with 52-week highs." Furthermore, he endorsed the money going into Kroger, saying it "wasn't as bad as it used to be" mostly because "management is really good now."

Noting that supermarkets had "very good margins," Cramer summarized by saying that Whole Foods(WFMI Quote - Cramer on WFMI - Stock Picks) was a "value play" and noting that Safeway(SWY Quote - Cramer on SWY - Stock Picks) had been downgraded.
