Merrill Lynch (MER), UBS (UBS), Washington Mutual (WM), Citigroup (C): Cramer called MER, UBS, WM and C the four horsemen of the pending Apocalypse, and said these four banks cannot afford to fall. He sees Wells Fargo buying WM or Goldman Sachs picking up UBS. While MER will have its share of offers, C is too big to buy, and Cramer thinks it may be resuscitated by sovereign wealth funds.

CIT Group (CIT): CIT is getting a $7.3 billion bank line to pay its debts and Cramer commented CIT has the “worst single portfolio I know of other than E*Trade” and needs an infusion of capital.

Nordstrom (JWN) and Costco (COST): Cramer says he continues to believe in JWN and COST as early cycle trades.

Bunge (BG): Concerning Bunge and the ag sector in general, Cramer said, “I've walked away from the ag trade for a while because it's too overheated. ... These stocks are in a compressed bear market,"
