Jim Cramer has been very critical of the SEC and the Federal Reserve all year. He made headlines across America last year with his infamous rant -- "They know nothing!" -- about Ben Bernanke and the Fed. Lately, Cramer has been calling for the SEC to bring back the uptick rule and stop the illegal practice of naked short-selling.

Cramer has been adamant that the lack of action from the SEC has created much of the market chaos. However, he was pleased with the Fed's bailout of AIG(AIG Quote - Cramer on AIG - Stock Picks), which he says was just too big to fail.

No matter who is to blame for the problems in the U.S. financial system, Cramer is going to adjust to the situation and find ways for his viewers to make money. That's exactly what Cramer wakes up every day to do, so don't miss out on the action.

Recently, Cramer found opportunity in companies standing up to hedge funds, such as Potash(POT Quote - Cramer on POT - Stock Picks); in stocks the SHO list, such as Sears(SHLD Quote - Cramer on SHLD - Stock Picks); and in the market chaos. Here are 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).
