The lead segment for today's show was "Cramer's Big 10: U.S. Manufacturers".

Google and Microsoft are good companies, but manufacturers are the real money makers. Why? BRIC (Brazil, Russian, India and China) countries need the products America's top manufacturers make.

American manufacturing is on the rebound. The U.S. has some of the best manufacturing companies in the world, according to Jim. So, Jim is going to give you a shopping list. When these companies take a dip, use it as an opportunity to buy, Jim advises.

Don't just run out and buy all these stocks. At no time should you own all 10. During a slow down, you cannot own these companies.

Still, you will have to do homework. These stocks aren't always a buy, but they will always have their moments if you are paying attention. Always buy in different increments on the way down.

  1. Fluor Corp (FLR) - Great infrastructure company.
  2. Cummins Inc. (CMI) - King of engines.
  3. Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) - Best play on construction equipment. Also dominate clean diesel.
  4. Dow Chemical Co. (DOW) - In a word: Plastic.
  5. Deere & Co. (DE) - Tractors.
  6. Boeing Co. (BA) -  Aircraft and Aerospace. In about 3 years, however, watch out. Aerospace will be down cycle.
  7. Nucor Corp (NUE) - Biggest U.S. steel producer.
  8. United Technologies Corp. (UTX) - High tech conglomerate. Carrier, Hamilton Sunstrand, Otis, etc. Also, levered to aerospace, so in 3 years. Also, when Fed does too much tightening, then sell.
  9. Ingersoll-Rand Co. Ltd. (IR) - Support equipment for mining and construction. Buy only when the economy is heating up, then slow when economy slowing down.
  10. Toyota Motor (TM) - Automobiles.
