Amgen [AMGN  Loading...      ()   ]: Now Cramer’s least favorite biotech on increased competition and news of government investigations.

Inverness Medical [IMA  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer scaled out of Inverness to a core position in his charitable trust because it’s a high-multiple stock that isn’t usually favored in this environment. He would buy it back again below $50.

NYMEX Holdings [NMX  Loading...      ()   ]: Time to take profits. People are waiting for a takeover that looks less and less likely, according to Cramer.

Transocean [RIG  Loading...      ()   ]: Because Schlumberger [SLB  Loading...      ()   ] is in a rough patch, RIG could get hurt. But it’s still a stock that can be owned here, Cramer said.


Jim's charitable trust owns Transocean and Inverness Medical.
