Top 10 Most-Searched Stocks on TheStreet.com

Stock quotes in this article: C , MS , CAT , GE , AAPL , BAC , WMT  

Let's move to tech, and we'll start with one of the regulars in the top 10 -- Apple (AAPL Quote). Citigroup Global Markets lowered its earnings estimates through 2011 to reflect the consumer spending slowdown, but tech reporter James Rogers says that some analysts see opportunity.

Next is Hewlett-Packard (HPQ Quote), whose stock fell after Lexmark (LXK Quote) offered a weak outlook.

Cramer is taking the opportunity to buy H-P for his Action Alerts Plus portfolio. H-P's CEO recently said its printer business remains solid, and Lexmark's negative numbers highlights the company's ability to increase market share. Another Action Alerts Plus Portfolio stock on the list is the iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 (FXI Quote) exchange-traded fund. This is Cramer's No. 1 way to play the recovery in China, and it holds several of the largest stocks in the Chinese market.

Retailer Wal-Mart (WMT Quote), which last week posted sales that disappointed investors, is also on the list.

Some observers believe Wal-Mart could actually benefit in the consumer-spending slowdown as shoppers look for lower prices. Jefferies, for instance, reiterated its buy rating on the stock, but lowered its price target from $70 to $61 because of the current economic climate.

Caterpillar (CAT Quote), according to Cramer, is the best way to play President-elect Obama's infrastructure package, no matter what the final price tag turns out to be. The stock has run up big, but is now getting dragged down with the rest of the market.

The last stock on the list is ConocoPhillips (COP Quote), which attracted interest after Cramer talked about it on "Mad Money" with RealMoney contributor Dan Fitzpatrick.
