Wednesday's earnings included ASML Holdings , Lam Research , Abbott Laboratories and Tesla in the bull camp. Cramer said it's not the time to own Verizon or AT&T , which reports on Thursday. He was also not bullish on CSX or Union Pacific , as the railroads are likely to get worse before they get better.

Thursday, the bulls return with Chipotle Mexican Grill and Snap , but Cramer advised against buying Intel in favor of rivals Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices .

The bulls round out the week on Friday with three Cramer favorites, Honeywell , American Express and oil services giant Schlumberger .

Counting Bank Earnings

Now that all of the major banks have reported earnings, it's time for Cramer's quarterly roundup of his favorites. Spoiler alert: There wasn't a lot he didn't like.

JPMorgan Chase delivered solid results, but the stock came into earnings season hot, limiting its upside. Shares are up 31% for the year, but the company is spending more to fight off the challenges from fintech.

Bank of America saw stunning 58% earnings growth this quarter, making it "unstoppable" in Cramer's book. As for Morgan Stanley , the company is transforming itself into a consistent wealth management powerhouse that was even able to shrug off a downgrade Friday. Shares are up 49% for the year.

Wells Fargo is loathed on Wall Street, but Cramer felt the bank may finally be ready to put its past behind them and start playing offense.

Finally, Goldman Sachs GS reported a monster quarter Friday with blowout earnings that once again cemented its position as one of the strongest banks out there.

In his first "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer sat down with Adam Selipsky, CEO of Amazon's Web Services, the cloud services giant that's now a $60 billion company, having grown 37% last quarter.

Selipsky said that AWS is well placed within Amazon, an arrangement that allows them to focus on customers and innovation and not get distracted by the things stand-alone companies have to worry about. AWS began serving customers in 2006 and remains an innovator in the industry with robust capabilities. The company even designs its own semiconductors to boost performance.

When talking about pricing, Selipsky noted that AWS has reduced prices 109 times over its history, often in the absence of competitive pressures to do so. Any time AWS is able to reduce costs, they pass those savings onto customers, he said.

AWS is very proud to have been instrumental in the development of Moderna's COVID vaccine. What had previously taken 20 months to complete was done in 42 days, Selipsky said, which proves that when technology and innovation meet the cloud, anything is possible.

Speaking of the pandemic, Selipsky noted that during March and April of 2020, nearly five years of digital transformation occurred at companies around the globe.

Am I Diversified?

In the "Am I Diversified" segment, Cramer spoke with callers and responded to tweets sent via Twitter to @JimCramer to see if investors' portfolios have what it takes for today's markets.

The first portfolio included Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings , Spirit Airlines , DraftKings , Uber and Ford . Cramer said this portfolio shouldn't have both Norwegian and Spirit. He suggested selling Spirit and replacing it with a healthcare stock like UnitedHealth Group .

The second portfolio's top holdings included Amazon , Salesforce , Home Depot , Coca-Cola and Walt Disney DIS. Cramer said this portfolio didn't require any changes.

The third portfolio had Amazon, Ford, JPMorgan Chase, Walt Disney and Boeing as its top five stocks. Cramer blessed this portfolio as properly diversified.

The fourth portfolio's top stocks were CSX , Pfizer , Robinhood , Eaton and Zimmer Biomet . This portfolio was also perfectly diversified.

The Future and Fintech

In his "No Huddle Offense" segment, Cramer said there's a reason he's so bullish on cryptocurrencies and fintechs like Square . It's because those are the places younger investors are putting their money.

Young people don't trust big banks, Cramer said, but they're flocking to the likes of PayPal and Square. They don't believe in using gold either, they'd rather invest in Bitcoin. But with Bitcoin ETFs around the corner, Cramer said it's likely time to take profits. He'd rather invest in Affirm , which represents the next big wave of financial tech.

Lightning Round

Here's what Jim Cramer had to say about some of the stocks that callers offered up during the "Mad Money Lightning Round" Friday evening:

GrowGeneration : "No. We rode it up and we're not looking back."

Biohaven Pharmaceuticals : "Their migraine pill is enough to carry this company for a long time."

AEO : "I want you to double down. They have a 3% yield and they tell a great story."

RadNet : "This is a high-multiple stock, but it's OK."
