"This week has seen the revenge of the stock-market nerds," Jim Cramer told the viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show Friday.

Dress in thick-rimmed glasses and donning a pocket protector, he said that several shunned stocks on Wall Street saw a boost this week that will likely be very short- lived.

Cramer said stocks like Abbott Labs (ABT Quote), which he also owns for his Action Alerts PLUS portfolio, Baxter International (BAX Quote) and Clorox (CLX Quote) have ignored for weeks by Wall Street, but not this week.

He said fears that increasing gas prices will crimp consumer spending have caused a short-term rally in these defensive names.

But despite rises in these stocks, along with the likes of Procter & Gamble (PG Quote), AT&T (T Quote) and Verizon (VZ Quote), Cramer said big mutual fund money is set to hit the markets as early as Monday, and will send these names lower.

That's because the rally in oil, tech and the financials will resume, and the unloved "nerds" will once again be cast aside for the more popular stocks, he predicted.
