Jim Cramer thinks the skyrocketing price for a barrel of oil is getting ridiculous. However, no matter what oil does, Cramer has the confidence to guide investors toward the sweet spots in the market. Recently, he found opportunity in his new-tech stocks, coal stocks and stocks that benefit from higher oil prices.

Here are some Cramer highlights from over the past week as aggregated from his "Mad Money" TV show, the "Stop Trading!" segment on

CNBC
