Cramer's 'Mad Money Lightning Round': Heck With Tekelec

TheStreet.com Staff

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

Smith Micro: "We should stay long that stock even up at 15."

Hercules Offshore: "That is an oil service stock and we got to be very careful. I like Halliburton, (which Cramer owns for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable portfolio), I like Nabors ... and I like Schlumberger."

Tekelec: "I want you to swap out of that ne'er-do-well Tekelec and move into Nokia, which by the way is also a river in Finland."

XTO Energy: Cramer said it's a good company, but "when they're giving away the ConocoPhillips, when they got Chevron in the Vonage the Doghouse ... you go with the majors."

Nektar: "Do I smell the powerful odor of greed? ... Next time it goes to 21, I want you to scoot [sell]."

Titanium Metals: "The only stock I'm gonna recommend ... and it's still a tepid recommendation, is Allegheny Tech. Yours should be sold."

TXU: "You ride that down to 55 and then you buy a little more."

"Grey Wolf at $7 is two thumbs up, way up and why don't we make it [Mexican President] Vicente Fox's own?"

Walt Disney: "I am declaring this Lightning Round over because I want you to stick with Disney."
