Cramer's 'Mad Money Lightning Round': Deposing the Burger King

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" Wednesday evening:

Palm(PALM): "I come back to you and say Research In Motion(RIMM). ... Buy 10 shares of RIM, it's gonna make more than 100 shares of Palm. Go back to your studies. You're not ready to graduate if you come to me with Palm."

Micron(MU) "I see your Micron and I raise you with Marvell Technology (MRVL)," which Cramer owns for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust. "Your stock is old tech; my stock is new tech."

UnitedHealth Group(UNH): "Has been one of my own personal, unbelievable nightmares. ... I think the nightmare is about to change. We are at the beginning of a nascent health care rally that I think UHN will participate in. ... Pull the trigger."

Burger King(BKC): "The special order you need to put in is SellSellSell. ... I got so many other fast-food places I like, not to eat at but to own." Cramer instead offered Darden(DRI), although he said he was perturbed recently by the wait he's had at the Olive Garden on Route 22 in New Jersey, because he really wanted the pasta. He ended up getting Chinese.

Pier One(PIR): "You must be one of the 72 people currently inside my head. ... I want to sell that thing nine ways to Sunday."

Boston Scientific(BSX): "Every time I went to recommend this stock, someone comes out and says stents will kill you. ... Boston Scientific is bottoming here. ... Cramer offered up Johnson & Johnson(JNJ) instead, which he owns for his charitable trust.

General Motors(GM): "It's been a train wreck. It was a money train when Jerry York was running it. Now it's just a disaster. ... Toyota Motor(TM), that's what I want you in."

H&E Equipment (HEES): "The stock should be higher ... Manitowoc(MTW) made a big move today. ... I would rather see you in Terex(TEX).

Sun Healthcare(SUNH): Someone's gonna yell fire in a crowded Cramer head. SellSellSellSellSellSell."

*For all you home-gamers, a 'mon-back opportunity means Cramer would back up the figurative truck and load up on a stock.
