In this week's New York Magazine, professional hedge fund manager James J. Cramer explains that it's not too late to make some fast cash from the run-up in oil prices: "You can be your own OPEC! Okay, maybe that’s a little glib, but it sure beats the notion that I hear every day: that the rising price of oil is a no-win situation for American investors. You can, even after the tremendous run that crude has had, make a fortune owning a portfolio of oil and oil-related stocks..."

According to Cramer, here's five stocks worth holding: ConocoPhillips (an integrated oil major), EnCana (a Canadian oil play), Valero (a refiner), Cimarex (a wildcatter) and Halliburton.
