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

-
MO
Altria Group Inc - $20.62
- -0.77%
- $20.76
“People are just now beginning to warm to the split of Altria (MO), and it's about time. Both companies are kicking butt in a declining market, with the domestic company, Altria, raising price and taking share -- neither of which is in the numbers -- and Philip Morris International (PMI) just consistently growing in emerging market areas. Both companies have the potential for gigantic buybacks as a way to reward shareholders, and the dividend on MO can be increased very easily, as there was a lot of money just sitting in the bank because of no more litigation risk. We just got a new wrinkle to the Altria story that's not in the numbers: the joint venture of SABMiller with Coors (TAP), which Advertising Age features in this morning's front-page story. This is a great one, one where the market share gains are staggering in a stagnant industry. Coors Light is up 5.4% and Coors Banquet is up 6% even as Miller is down. However, when the joint venture gets integrated, I think you will see more marketing muscle and higher share for both companies. Either way, you have to recognize that the initial selling is now over and the two stocks are getting more and more sponsorships after some initial downgrades, as people thought the story was played out. I own them both for Action Alerts PLUS and can't see why you wouldn't want to own at least one of these two key names, the growth-oriented PMI or the stable, value play of MO. Something for everybody.”

WB
Wachovia Cp - $14.55
- +4.00%
- $14.08
Cramer recently brokedown the situation at the North Carolina based bank. “Remember when Wachovia (WB) was a respected, conservative institution? When it was a classic good regional bank that could always be counted on to deliver the numbers and be good to its clients and shareholders? What is this Wachovia? Where did this Wachovia come from? How could Wachovia lose $1 billion of its entrusted funds in a highly levered Citigroup (C) hedge fund called Falcon? How did it allow itself to be lulled into this kind of madness? Or California. How did Wachovia get beaten over the head so badly in this Golden West transaction? Did it just take the Sandlers' -- the old owners -- words for it that the loans were good? Did the company do any due diligence about the Golden West pick-a-way-to-pay plan, where the borrowers basically could get a free ride in a house if it went up in value but Golden West, and now Wachovia, bought the downside? How did it let a "heads you win, tails I lose" situation develop? I sit here and look at this once great franchise and I wonder whether: A) It had just lost its mind and the people running it had no idea what they were doing, or B) They decided they wanted a lot of risk and betrayed their roots. Either way, it is the obituary for the Wachovia as we knew it, and a recipe for a stock that simply can't be owned even if there is a turn unless this management vanishes from the face of the banking earth. Sad. Really sad. Great legacy lost.”
