Jim Cramer's Portfolios of the Week

According to Jim Cramer, the market can't continue to rally off of just the strength in oil. Cramer would rather see the market running higher led by banks, tech and oil.

He doesn't like that the market is held hostage to oil and he feels investors would be better served by taking profits and waiting for more clarity.
