Cramer likes to call his sister Nancy the original negative Nancy. But there seems to be a lot of those in the market right now. And that’s a mistake as far as the Mad Money host is concerned. There are just too many great buying opportunities out there.

January saw a similar fit of selling. What was Cramer’s advice? Buy the bull markets: agriculture, defense, minerals, oil and gas and healthcare cost containment. The strategy worked then, and he’s confident it will work now.

Sure, the Freddie Macs [FRE  Loading...      ()   ], Fannie Maes [FNM  Loading...      ()   ] and Citigroups [C  Loading...      ()   ] need more rate cuts. But the housing woes have taken down plenty of great stocks that didn’t deserve the mistreatment.

Merck [MRK  Loading...      ()   ], Schering-Plough [SGP  Loading...      ()   ] and Allergan [AGN  Loading...      ()   ] are all buys, Cramer said. So are Wellpoint [WLP  Loading...      ()   ] and Unitedhealth [UHS  Loading...      ()   ].

What about the yields utility stocks are offering? Duke Energy [DUK  Loading...      ()   ], 5%. Con Ed [ED  Loading...      ()   ], 5.7%.

The oil companies and trusts offer even better. Permian Basin Royalty[PBT  Loading...      ()   ]  pays out 12%. The Hugoton [HGT  Loading...      ()   ]  and San Juan Basin Trusts [SJT  Loading...      ()   ] pay more than 7%. BP [BP  Loading...      ()   ] offers 5%.

And don’t forget Cramer’s other dividend-paying favorites: Altria [MO  Loading...      ()   ], AT&T [T  Loading...      ()   ] and Verizon
