Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round Mar. 12

Bullish calls:
Denny's (NasdaqCM: DENN): 'I want to be candid. They did not have a good month. I am sticking by them because, what I liked them for is the restructuring that's fixing their balance sheet ... it's part of my little under-$10 package that I think is ramping, and that I think goes still higher. DENN is fine with me. I want to hold it.'Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI - News)Dynegy (NYSE: DYN - News)Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (NYSE: RIO - News): 'This company accomplished something that no other company could do in the western hemisphere... It literally merged with its #2 competitor ... and it has created a mineral powerhouse ... I think it's got $45 written on it. I have liked this company for 10 points. I bet you I like it for another 15! But, I've got to tell you - let's understand - it's had a big run. It is up 68% year over year. It goes to $40, and goes to $45. It probably pulls back a little, and ultimately goes to $50.'NYSE Group (NYSE: NYX - News): 'I think this is the most undervalued stock on the New York Stock Exchange - how ironic... I just bought some again for my charitable trust last week, and I am anxious to pull the trigger again, because I just think it is so darn undervalued versus when that Euronext deal closes. This one is a keeper.'Yahoo! (NasdaqGS: YHOO): ' ... there was an article in the Wall Street Journal that really said that the Yahoo AT&T relationship is ka-put, that it's just a trainwreck ... Now, over the weekend, YHOO and AT&T put out a series of releases that basically said that the Journal was dead wrong. Maybe it's something in between, but the people who tossed this stock out on Friday overreacted to what I think may have been a lot wrong in that article. I'm staying with YHOO.'eBay (NasdaqGS: EBAY)Big Lots (NYSE: BIG - News): ' ... As soon as I saw the Dollar General buyout, I said that someone is going to bid for this BIG, so I hit it up. Sure enough, 52-week high but, you know what? It probably has a little bit more to go. Now, let me caution... If I owned it, it's up 120% year-over-year, and that means bulls make money, bears make money, but hogs get slaughtered. So, if you owned it for the last year....'BEA Systems (NasdaqGS: BEAS): 'I recommended it at $12. Right now, I'm giving myself 30 lashes... I am disappointed in how this company reported. I still believe that Oracle could take them out ... I want to stick with it for now.'
Neutral calls:
Ford (NYSE: F - News): 'I don't mind the company, but the stock is wrong ... I think that Ford will be successful in its turnaround, but I like to play it with the right piece of paper - the convertible bond.'
Bearish calls:
USG (NYSE: USG - News): 'USG is a really interesting situation, because it never seems to ever go right where Warren Buffet says that he would buy the rest of it, which is mid-40s... Now, USG in the end, is deeply levered to the housing market, and you know that I am a bear on housing.'Heelys (HYLS): 'I think that HLYS is over-valued ... I went recently to a couple of sporting goods stores. They're stocked to the gills with Heely's. I don't like to see that. Sell, sell, sell!'News Corp. (NYSE: NWS - News): 'We're a dollar away from register ringing on NWS. It doesn't mean I dislike it. It does mean it's had a really big run.'Quiksilver (NYSE: ZQK - News): 'Awful. Awful. I've got to tell you. This is one of the worst quarters I have seen from any apparel company, and they're blaming the warm weather ... I hate those kind of excuses. In other words, what I'm saying is, it's probably too late to sell right now but, if that stock rallies, sell, sell, sell!'

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round Jan. 24

Bullish calls:
Boeing (BA): ' ... it's two thumbs up, way up. That Wachovia guy who downgraded BA - he is going to be so massively wrong, it is frightening... 'Transocean (RIG): ' We like RIG.'Halliburton (HAL): ' ... yes, I'll stick my neck out once again, that HAL will be good.'NYSE (NYX): 'There's a story out there ... It says that there's going to be a massive lockup expiration, where everybody can sell 20 million shares. All the bears are keying on that ... my canvas of the stock tells me that none of the big holders is going to sell that stock. That's why NYX - which is my growth stock of the year - is headed to nothing short of $200!'Hain Celestial (HAIN): 'I would recommend HAIN as best of breed.'Level 3 Communications (LVLT): 'I say you should not be worried. This stock has had a miraculous run. But, it just again cleaned up its balance sheet even more by offering stock. This is one of my growth stocks that are speculative for the year. I reiterate my buy and, if it ever goes below $6, obviously you back up the truck!'Schering-Plough (SGP): 'I would vastly prefer SGP or JNJ [to PFE].'Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)Amgen (AMGN): 'I like AMGN and I like DNA for a little bit of growth.'Genentech (DNA)American Ecology (ECOL): ' ... look at ECOL.'Unilever (UN): 'I've been watching this stock creep up, and I keep saying to myself, 'Why didn't I recommend it? I knew that a turnaround was in place . I have missed UN. My bad. Is it too late to get in? No. Buy, buy, buy!'Diageo (DEO)Rackable Systems (RACK): 'I think it's way overdone to the downside ... I think you wait until the summer, you'll catch a bounce ... you stick with RACK. I don't want to go away from it.'eBay (EBAY)USG (USG): 'The only in-housing play that I've been recommending consistently is USG... I came back and said that stock is going higher. Swap out of yours and go into USG!'
Bearish calls:
Valero Energy (VLO): ' ... don't think VLO's going to do much. It's up 3 bucks, down 3 bucks... I'd like you to take the trade off though. I just don't think that, with oil and gas this low, that you really want to trifle with any of these things to buy on the way down, so let's ix-nay that trade when it comes in a little, and let's play on the long side.'SunOpta (STKL): 'We're swapping out of STKL and we're going into HAIN... 'Georgia Gulf (GGC): 'The only in-housing play that I've been recommending consistently is... Swap out of yours and go into USG!'Pfizer (PFE): 'You've got what I call dead money ... Keep selling PFE. It's just like owning a bond, but a little less exciting.'Republic Services (RSG): ' ... when we buy a company at twice its growth rate, in terms of a P/E, it's been catastrophic for us. So I want you to sell that one - sell, sell, sell.'

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round- Jan. 8th

Bullish calls:
Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE: TMO - News): ' May I suggest - if you're going to do medical diagnostics ... it's TMO.'Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL - News): ' ... I think it's got one down and five up. They make the controllers for disk drives, among other things, and also the PS2 ... I think it's six months before it explodes, but it will explode to the upside!'Companhia Vale do Rio (NYSE: RIO - News): 'The only one that I will still sanction, was my last one that I recommended, which was RIO.Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ - News): 'The only one [personal computer company] that I've actually been recommending - it's got big revenues this company - is the HPQ.'USG (NYSE: USG - News): 'I think USG is maxed out by Warren Buffet. It's at $52 bucks and, if housing turns, it goes right to $65. And, if housing doesn't turn, no real downside - maybe $49. That means 3 down, and it means 7 up. 7 up wins.'Community Bank System (NYSE: CBU - News): 'This one's very cheap off the book value. Why? Because the book value's actually cash, when it comes to banks. I like it. 3.4% yield. I'm not concerned about the inverted yield curve ... You've got a winner.'Daktronics (NASDAQ: DAKT - News): 'They were beat up, and it was a fallacy! ... This was classic profit taking ... I like DAKT very much on this pullback, and I want to pull the trigger, and then I want to stay with it.'
Bearish calls:
Mindray Medical International (NYSE: MR - News): 'Oh, there's a man who likes to go to China and look for nothing but problems. We got a lot of companies who do the same thing - in terms of the internet - right here ...

I have no catalyst to recommend APH, so I'm going to say, 'don't buy, don't buy.'Rio Tinto (NYSE: RTP - News): 'The commodity boom is over. NEM - the last of the big gold stocks - is rolling over. I do not want be associated with RTP, or BHP anymore. 'BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP - News)Systemax (NYSE: SYX - News): 'We liked this stock before; it's had a really nice run. I am not going to tell you that it's necessarily cheap ... SYX is kind of one of these [ one sideways thumb].'Peabody Energy (NYSE: BTU - News): ' ... coal is plummeting, plummeting. No one wants to own coal. Plus, we have the Democrats ... they are not of, by and for the corporation. They are concerned with the air. You can't make any money off of that game - the air game. Therefore, I think that BTU remains a cheap stock with no catalyst. Not for me.'
