Nearly half of the top 10 most-searched stocks on TheStreet.com today were new to Monday's list since Friday, including CIT (CIT), which was splashing the headlines, Goldman Sachs (GS), which received an upgrade to buy from Meredith Whitney, Abbott Labs (ABT) and GM (GMGMQ).
Citigroup topped the list, with Bank of America (BAC) taking the No. 2 spot and Abbott bringing up the rear.

At Stockpickr, we've combed through Jim Cramer's recent RealMoney blog posts, "Mad Money" TV show recaps and "Stop Trading!" segments to see what he's had to say lately about some of the stocks on TheStreet.com's list. (A subscription might be required to view Cramer's blog.)
Bank of America (BAC): On the July 9 episode of "Mad Money," Cramer said he was not as bullish as Ron Insana but did agree that banks such as BofA, JPMorgan (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) should be bought. Cramer owns all three of those banks for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.

GM (GMGMQ): GM was No. 4 on today's stock-search list. On his July 10 "Stop Trading!" segment on CNBC, Cramer said that GM's stock is "worthless" and called for it to be canceled. "Someone has to protect the little guy," he said.

AIG (AIG): AIG, No. 5 on the list, should be canceled too, Cramer said on that July 10 "Stop Trading!" segment. He said trading the stock is like buying a ticket for the previous night's lottery.

On July 6, in a post to his RealMoney blog, Cramer wrote: "What did AIG accomplish with this 20-for-1 reverse split? Fool some people into buying it?"

Apple (AAPL): Apple is No. 6 on today's stock-search list. "I say the selloff slows down here and people begin to come back to tech, where nothing is wrong," Cramer wrote in a July 7 blog post. He recommended Apple, Qualcomm (QCOM), Intel (INTC), Oracle (ORCL) and Microsoft (MSFT) because they "have the best momentum and have the best quarters."

And on July 10's "Stop Trading!" segment, Cramer said that he wouldn't be surprised if Apple reports "a number that blow your socks off."

Goldman Sachs (GS): Goldman is eighth on today's stock-search list. "All the other financials have been taking their cue from this stock," Cramer wrote in a July 9 blog post.

CIT Group (CIT): In a July 9 blog post titled "The Next Big Financial to Crumble?" Cramer wondered if CIT, No. 9 on today's list, could "be the first big public finance company to disappear since Lehman Brothers." He said that even though the company "has had about 90 lives," it isn't "too big to fail."

Abbott Laboratories (ABT): Finally, at No. 10 on today's list, is Abbott. On July 7's "Mad Money" show, Cramer identified health care as the one industry that can experience growth even in a slowdown. Abbott and Gilead (GILD), two Action Alerts PLUS names, were his drug-stock recommendations.
