Jim Cramer's Portfolios of the Week

Updated from 06:59 a.m. EDT

Jim Cramer sees the light at the end of the tunnel for the housing sector and the U.S. economy - if the controversial housing bill can pass the Senate. He even went as far as to say you have to buy a house between now and the next six months. Cramer feels the passing of the bill could also mark a bottom in the banking stocks and fuel a short-squeeze for the rest of the market. No matter what happens with the bill, Cramer is ready to identify the next bull market for investors.

Recently, Cramer found opportunity in 4 bank stocks, biotech stocks and retail stocks. For some Cramer highlights from over the past week as aggregated from his "Mad Money" TV show, the "Stop Trading!" segment on CNBC and his RealMoney blog posts (these blog post links require a RealMoney subscription), please click here.
