Cramer loves Allegheny and slaps Lee Scott of Wal-Mart

On today's STOP TRADING! segment on CNBC, Cramer said The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR) is a play. With Kroger at $29 after a B of A upgrade said it could beat for years to come. The case against Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE:WMT) is so fabulous that everyone wants in. He commented that when Lee Scott is finally dethroned, this wouldn't necessarily happen, but now the store is not what it once was. Lee Scott was one of 24/7 Wall St.'s TOP CEO's THAT HAVE TO GO from December.

Cramer adores Allegheny Technologies Inc. (NYSE:ATI). He said this one is in the sweet spot and it is positioned to work every single aspect of the economy and its metal will stand up to corrosive effects of ethanol.

If you want to know why Cramer was out Friday night, it looks like he fractured his foot.

Unsexy workhorses lead market rally

It's not only the fun tech stocks that are responsible for the markets' soaring heights. It may be fun to watch Google, Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) soar to $505 and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) inch to $30 per share, as it did yesterday and was rewarded by Credit Suisse with an upgrade from neutral to outperform. But there are plenty of less glamorous leaders driving the markets ever upwards.

As Alexandra Twin points out at CNNMoney.com, Allegheny Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:ATI), for example, is up a whopping 112% year-to-date. There's also a lot of strength in the steel sector, as Tom Taulli points out today with his post on the Oregon Steel Mills (NYSE:OS) deal.

Steel not boring enough? Pactiv Corp. (NYSE:PTV), the maker of Hefty trash bags and a variety of take-out containers, is up 52.3%. Now there's a social trend reflected in the markets!

Other market workhorses include OfficeMax, Inc. (NYSE:OMX) and Big Lots, Inc (NYSE: BIG) both up 93.2% in the 2006 S&P.
