NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- "The prevailing wisdom on Wall Street is just too negative," Jim Cramer told the viewers of his "Mad Money" TV Show Thursday.

He said that in a perfect world, analysts would be singing the praises of the retail sector instead of trying to scare investors away.

Cramer said if he were an analyst, he'd be telling investors to step up to the retail sector and invest with confidence, as the demand for housewares, clothing and electronics is heating up. He said the facts to support his case are everywhere.

Cramer said Apple (AAPL) is on pace for another record quarter, selling computers and smart phones, while Staples (SPLS) is seeing strong demand for computers as well. Meanwhile, BestBuy (BBY) executives said that chain is seeing strong demand for LCD TVs.

In the apparel space, Cramer noted that VF Corp (VFC) is seeing strong demand for its Northface brand, while Decker's (DECK) and Jones Apparel (JNY) are also seeing strong demand.

Cramer said the list goes on, with retailers Macy's (M) and Target (TGT) seeing strong demand for housewares and appliances made by Jarden (JAH)

And finally, with home prices stabilizing and gas prices falling, consumers are spending money to fix up their homes, said Cramer. That trend is evident in comments made by Sherwin Williams (SHW), Masco (MAS) and Home Depot (HD), he said.

"You can stick with the bearish research reports if you want to," said Cramer, "but I'm positive you'll make more money with me."
