On Tuesday's "Mad Money" show, Jim Cramer encouraged viewers not to panic or lose their cool in this market.

He said he recently bought more Caterpillar(CAT Quote) for Action Alerts PLUS based on its strength in China and march sales number.

Caterpillar added $1.06, or 3.4%, at $32.45 on Wednesday.

Cramer said that Halliburton(HAL Quote) deserved its recent downgrade from JPMorgan because its "fundamentals are still deteriorating."

On Wednesday, Halliburton closed down 9 cents to $19.87.

As for Coca-Cola(KO Quote), which colleague Rick Bensignor likes, Cramer still prefers Action Alerts PLUS stock Pepsi(PEP Quote) because it has less international exposure and thus more to gain as the U.S. market recovers.
