“The transportation stocks are up, and that is incredibly important for the overall economy,” Jim Cramer said on Friday’s “Stop Trading!” segment. He explained that the sector is a signal that the economy is getting better, not worse. Cramer currently holds railroad play Union Pacific (UNP) in his charitable trust. In a somewhat related note, Cramer said he is more bullish about General Electric’s (GE) Capital division than GE Transportation, despite the company’s new $500 million agreement to deliver locomotives to Kazakhstan. Cramer made bullish comments on retail stocks J. Crew (JCG) and Office Depot (ODP). He said consumers are looking for value at places like JCG and he praised ODP’s strategy of closing stores to create value. Turning to the auto sector, Cramer said Toyota Motors (TM) is cooling and Ford Motor (F) completed one of the most successful secondary offerings in the history of the NYSE. Finally, Cramer said he is still bullish on Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM), Eldorado (EGO) and Randgold Resources (GOLD). He told investors to add one of these companies to their holdings.

“Investors can find out which way the market is heading by cutting through all the hype and conflicting information and buy following just a few key stocks,” Jim Cramer said on Thursday’s “Mad Money” TV show. Cramer told viewers that the rally was led by three sectors: oil, technology and the financials. For the technology sector, Cramer keeps an eye on Apple (AAPL), Research In Motion (RIMM) and Google (GOOG). In the oil space, He watches Schlumberger (SLB), Transocean (RIG) and Anadarko (APC). To get a leg up on the financial sector, Cramer told viewers he looks at JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Goldman Sachs Group (GS) and Bank of America (BAC). These stocks have been doing pretty good, with RIMM, APPL and GOOG breaking out of their ranges. Schlumberger, RIG and APC are also going up daily, but the banks have been mixed. Cramer said keep it simple and watch the top three – Goldman, Apple and Schlumberger. “As long as G.A.S. goes higher, we’re going higher,” Cramer said.

For Thursday’s “Sell Block” segment, Cramer released maker of all things aggregate – crushed stone, sand, gravel, asphalt concrete Vulcan Materials (VMC), a stock that has been in the “Sell Block” since Dec. 1 when the stock was trading at $56.71. Cramer reminded viewers that he was dead right on Vulcan Materials, now that the stock has dropped below his target of $45 a share. He explained that in December too many market players were getting into the stock in hopes the company would be a big beneficiary of Obama’s stimulus plan. That problem was, that we didn’t know all of the details of the plan at the time, and because of that uncertainty, Cramer told people to sell the stock. However, now things have changed, and we know that many states have only 120 days to approve highway improvement spending. “Vulcan has a solid balance sheet and room to run once these projects start getting under way,” he said. Cramer also likes that many analysts hate the stock with six holds, three sells and only one buy on VMC. This should leave room for upgrades that could push the stock buyer.  Cramer said Vulcan is a buy for that reason and for its 4.7% dividend yield and the upcoming stimulus projects. Cramer added Cigna (CI) to the sell block in place of Vulcan Materials. Cramer said that Cigna is now a sell with the recent resignation of their CFO and three other high-level executives in the past year. Cramer also told viewers to take profits on Research In Motion (RIMM) because his technical guru, Rick Bensignor has advised booking profits.

A viewer wrote, “I bought The Chubb Corp. (CB) a while back and have heard you recommend this stock as a good stock. Why does it continue to go down? What is the catalyst driving it down, or lack of catalyst to drive it up?” Cramer told a viewer that Travelers and Chubb are the only two insurance companies that don’t need TARP money and that’s why he prefers them.

“Use today’s big decline to get into the market cheaper,” Jim Cramer said on Wednesday’s “Mad Money” TV show. Cramer criticized the bears and pundits for telling investors to get out of what has proved to be a solid bull run. Cramer explained that every morning the market is hit with more negative news like private-equity valuations now collapsing, more job losses, fears of hyperinflation and the news of North Korea test-firing a nuclear device. However, the market still found a way to surge higher since March in the face of all these negative headlines. And even with some positive news on Tuesday like strong manufacturing report and the positive consumer confidence number, the negatives still outweigh Despite all of the negatives, stocks like Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) and VF Corp (VFC) ripped higher yesterday. “Yesterday’s rally was based on nothing, but it still happened,” Cramer said. Cramer believes that the market will continue to trend up, but investors should expect to see more volatility along the way. In that case, investors should stay nimble and continue to look for opportunities. “You just have to be flexible, and willing to go with the flow of an irrational market,” Cramer explained. He told viewers to use the dips, when we get them, to buy stocks they like at a discount. Get the scoop on tomorrow’s hottest trade ideas – TODAY!
