Cramer's 'Mad Money Lightning Round': Yay to BEA

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" Thursday evening:

AMR(AMR): "It's OK. I like Continental(CAL) more."

BEA Systems(BEAS): "I think this has got 52-week-high potential. Thirteen dollars going to 16. I am backing the truck* up B-E-A-S."

"Under Armour(UARM) is a buy. It has great growth. ... Sells at 58 times earnings, that's a little expensive. I think that's the best management in the business. I like Under Armour."

VeriFone(PAY): "This is a monster good stock." Cramer also threw in MasterCard(MA). "I'm reloading because it's done going down."

Akamai(AKAM): "Remember, Akamai means smart and clever in Hawaiian. ... Need it to make streaming video work." ... Cramer also threw in Level 3(LVLT) because of the bandwidth shortage.

Cisco Systems(CSCO): "You take a little off the table. ... Stock's going to 30, though."

Walt Disney(DIS): "I still think that Bob Iger is the moneymaker. ... I think Disney is a slow grower on the way to 38. ... It's a good solid holding."

Ahold(AHO): "I am not a fan of Ahold. I like Safeway(SWY). ... I am doing work on Winn-Dixie(WNDXQ), and I have not figured out whether to pull the trigger or not."

Tsakos Energy(TNP): "TNP [the company's ticker] should mean Take No Prisoners. ... We had a very disappointing tanker number from another company ... you are up 22% year to date ... you, my friend, are ringing the register."

Odyssey Health Care(ODSY): "No. Hospice services. ... I want to buy Humana(HUM), and I want to buy Wellpoint(WLP)."

America Movil(AMX): "The single best play in Latin America."

Cramer also was bullish on Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI) and Sysco (SYY).

Cramer also was bearish on Sirenza Microdevices (SMDI),

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