NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- "Forget about the bears in Dubai," an upbeat Jim Cramer told the viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show Monday.

Instead, he told investors to focus on high-yielding dividend stocks, the kind the bears won't go near.

Cramer explained that when hedge funds short a stock, they become responsible for paying that stock's dividend while borrowing the shares. This, he said, makes stocks with high yields off limits for many bears. Given the favorable tax rate given to dividends, and their compounding ability over time, Cramer said dividend stocks offer investors a trifecta of protection against losses.

Some stocks to consider? Cramer said Intel (INTC), the world's largest semiconductor company, with a 3.3% yield, is one name that fits the bill. As is consumer products giant Kimberly-Clark (KMB), which is profiting from lower input costs and a falling dollar. Kimberly-Clark currently pays a 3.6% dividend.

Also in the consumer space, Cramer said he likes Clorox (CLX) for its new products and 3.3% dividend yield. In restaurants, Cramer said that McDonald's (MCD) is attractive with its 3.5% yield.

Turning to the drug sector, Cramer said Sanofi-Aventis (SNY), with its 3.8% yield, is the best in show. Rounding out the group was industrial products maker Eaton (ETN), with its 3.1% yield.
