Refinery earnings were “horrible,” Cramer said during Wednesday’s Stop Trading!. He urged investors to stay away from the group.

ConocoPhillips[COP  Loading...      ()   ] quarter was “just terrible,” he said. So bad, in fact, that Cramer called it “the worst of the integrateds.” Valero Energy [VLO  Loading...      ()   ] also announced disappointing earnings.

“This is a company that has to rethink itself,” Cramer said of COP, “because this was just an awful quarter.”

The Mad Money host also offered a play on CIT’s [CIT  Loading...      ()   ] troubles. With the lender to small and medium-size businesses curtailing loans, companies less dependent on CIT should take market share.

Cramer pointed specifically to the restaurant sector where stronger, more independent companies like Buffalo Wild Wings [BWLD  Loading...      ()   ] and Brinker International [EAT  Loading...      ()   ] could overtake their privately run peers. He likened it to buying Best Buy [BBY  Loading...      ()   ] as a play on Circuit City’s collapse.

“I like this trade,” Cramer said.
