Updated from 7:01 a.m. EDT

Thursday ended on a strong note, with stocks rallying hard off of the day's lows. The economic news certainly wasn't great, but the market has likely anticipated this.

In financial stocks,

Merrill Lynch

(MER)

, soon to be bought by

Bank of America

(BAC) - Get Report

, posted a steeper-than-expected $7.5 billion third-quarter loss. But the stock rallied, as did other financials, including Bank of America and

Wells Fargo

(WFC) - Get Report

.

The real strength, however, came from the typical big names, with

Microsoft

(MSFT) - Get Report

,

Intel

(INTC) - Get Report

,

Exxon

(XOM) - Get Report

and

Pfizer

(PFE) - Get Report

all rallying on heavy volume.

With volatility near all time highs, where do we go from here?

With this in mind, we thought we'd take a look at some of the stocks people have been searching for on

TheStreet.com

, such as

Kimberly-Clark

(KMB) - Get Report

and

3M

(MMM) - Get Report

, and see what

Jim Cramer's had to say about them lately
