This portfolio gives Jim Cramer’s take on the Top 10 Most Searched Stocks on TheStreet.com from the prior trading day.

-
GE
Gen Electric Co - $28.00
- 0.00%
- $28.12
Cramer disclosed on Friday that he owns GE stock but still wants to try to make money off the company's quarter. Cramer disclosed on Friday that he owns GE stock but still wants to try to make money off the company's quarter by focusing on other names where you may see buying opportunities because of the GE effect on the market. In reference to GE’s miss implying weaknessa cross the board for the market, Cramer said on Friday that “I just can't get there. I just don't see the weakness in GE -- commercial leasing, real estate leasing, and the inability to close deals -- spilling over to the hot sectors: oil and gas, agriculture, minerals and infrastructure. It's just not dispositive, as we would say back in law school. There simply isn't that much in common with that portion of the GE miss. With this in mind, Cramer recommended NOV on Friday and staying away from tech in general. "You can't hide in tech. You can hide in Procter (PG), you can hide in Coke (KO), you can hide in Pepsi (PEP), but you cannot hide in tech."

GS
Goldman Sachs Grp - $182.84
- +0.88%
- $182.7775
Goldman Sachs was another popular search on Friday and Cramer had had plenty to say about GS recently/ On Thursday, he noted that “Goldman Sachs is changing hands [at around $169]. That values the stock at just 10 times reduced 2008 earnings expectations. This is crazy. Goldman Sachs, the same company that got things right in the subprime mess and ensuing credit crunch, the company that has picked up a huge amount of prime brokerage business -- carrying huge margins -- after the Bear Stearns (BSC) collapse? Goldman Sachs, with the credit markets at last freeing up? Yes, Goldman Sachs, the only company in the business that is buying back its shares. I say this is ridiculous. People are freaking out because Goldman lost money on a couple of bad days. This is infuriating to me. There is no way this company should be selling so cheaply. No way.”

-
AAPL
Apple Inc - $165.15
- -3.88%
- $168.21
Cramer still likes AAPL despite not liking tech stocks right now. On 4-11-08, he noted, “I don't want any tech stocks other than Apple."

-
MRK
Merck Co Inc - $37.68
- +1.95%
- $37.12
From 4-11-08 Lightning Round: “Pfizer (PFE): "Listen and listen good. Pfizer has no growth, it's losing too many drugs going off patent. Merck (MRK) is the one you want, Merck must be bought right here, right now."

-
CEDC
Central Euro Dis - $70.37
- -3.36%
- $73.22
From 4-10-08: "It takes a very special company to sell vodka to the Russians," Jim Cramer told viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show Thursday. "But tonight I've found one." That company is Central European Distribution (CEDC) and it's located in Poland. The Polish government is doing everything right from privatizing many government assets to cutting taxes to spark growth. The country also sports a strong currency. Central European Distribution's future is just as bright. The company is the No. 1 producer of vodka in Poland and distributes over 900 different brands of spirits throughout Eastern Europe. CED is also the largest beverage distributor in both Poland and Hungary and is making a successful push into the Russian vodka market. Cramer says now is the time to invest in CED since it's still early in the company's story. He notes that none of the seven analysts who cover the stock are from a major bank, making the stock virtually invisible to Wall Street. "Hardly anyone knows about this company," he said. The company currently trades at 22 times expected 2009 earnings, but sports a 24% long-term growth rate. "This stock is going a lot higher once people sit up and take notice," he said.

-
V
Visa Inc. - $73.40
- -2.21%
- $74.24
From 4-11-08: “Visa (V): "No, no, no. Take the money and run. I want to hear registers ringing. I want you in Mastercard (MA)."

-
GTE
Gran Tierra Energ - $5.85
- -0.34%
- $5.90
From 4-10-08: Cramer said Gran Tierra Energy, the Calgary-based oil and gas exploration company, is "an interesting Canadian play. ... I think there could be a lot of upside there." Gran Tierra began trading on the American Stock Exchange on Tuesday.

-
GOOG
Google - $481.32
- -9.77%
- $498.84
From 4-11-08: Cramer was also bearish on Google (GOOG). "I don't know, when you have Microsoft, Yahoo! and News Corp. and they've all decided they want to end the dominance of Google." He also decried Google's "hiring binge," saying, “That's not how you make money.”
