Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Banks, Other Laggards Are Leaders (Final)

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Last month's laggards are leading again, Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers on Thursday, adding that investors haven't missed a thing. He said after resting to recharge, the home builders, financials, technology and the oil stocks are once again ready to roar.

Cramer said there's no better evidence that the bottom in housing is approaching than Pulte Homes (PHM) breaking out almost 10% in today's trading. That also bodes well for the bank stocks, added Cramer, who recommended a group of stocks he's been buying for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS. Those banks included US Bancorp (USB) , JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and SunTrust Bank (STI) .

Cramer added that even AIG (AIG) is a buy, as the company is a whole lot better than it used to be. That's why Cramer owns shares of AIG in his trust as well, along with American Express (AXP) . Cramer added that if he wasn't such a believer in diversification, he'd buy Wells Fargo (WFC) as well.

The tech stocks are also rallying, said Cramer, as seen with Equinix (EQIX) , which saw a 19-point move to the upside today, and Citrix Systems (CTXS) , which had a 13% move. Amazon's (AMZN) blowout quarter anyone?

In the oil patch, Cramer said he's still bullish on Chevron (CVX) , Occidental Petroleum (OXY) and EOG Resources (EOG) . He remained a fan of all of the oil shale players except for those levered to natural gas. Cramer was also a fan of Schlumberger (SLB) and Ensco (ESV) , two more Action Alerts PLUS holdings.

All of these stocks are ready to roar, said Cramer, which makes the old adage of "sell in May and go away" not applicable for 2012.
