Recap of Jim Cramer’s comments on Stop Trading! Friday, May 19. Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:

*Altria (MO), Anheuser-Busch (BUD), and Colgate (CL): Cramer believes that the strength of these "recession-related stocks" indicates that the market expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates to 6.5%. "It's not the kind of strength I like, because it means a lot of other stuff is too weak."

*Juniper (JNPR) and F5 (FFIV): Cramer is leery of these stocks, because there are reports of "suspicious-looking options-pricing patterns." He suggests leaving F5 alone; "It's been a great stock, but enough is enough."

*Broadcom (BRCM) and Marvell (MRVL): "If Marvell can have that kind of quarter, the people that are continually shorting Broadcom have to bring in their horns," Cramer said.

*Commodities Stocks: Cramer believes that copper, silver, and gold still have to bottom, and that the owners of related shares are worried that analysts will be reducing estimates to reflect the general decline of metal prices.

*Caterpillar (CAT): Despite this stock's consistent weakness, machinery is still "trying to bottom."

*Finance and Technology Stocks: Tech stocks are bottoming and "finance trades great."
