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:

Foster Wheeler(FWLT Quote): "Because I like to play with the house's money, I've done a little schnitzel [sale] now and then, but I'm not selling the rest." Cramer owns it for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust. Cramer said FWLT and KBR(KBR Quote) "both have the single-best pin action [on] all the new oil that's been found."

O2 Micro International(OIIM Quote): We're trying to stay away from mixed signals [circuits]." Cramer told the caller he wanted him to sell the stock.

Conceptus(CPTS Quote): "An alternative to a way that you currently get vasectomies." Cramer said he liked it but he can't rave about it.

SanDisk(SNDK Quote): "For a trade it can go to 47, but this stock has got tremendous tax-loss selling. ... Wait till January if you have to own SanDisk."

Dollar General(DG Quote): "I see a trade 14, 17, 14, 17. I can't get wild about that." Cramer also was sour on Family Dollar(FDO Quote) and Wal-Mart(WMT Quote). Cramer offered Sears(SHLD Quote), which he owns for his Action Alerts PLUS, and J.C. Penney(JCP Quote) instead.

UAL(UAUA Quote): "You are now courting the bear. ... I want you to ring the register. ... You must take that money off the table. I cannot have you turn that money into a loss."

CPFL Energia(CPL Quote): "Too dicey. ... I think that a Brazilian 4% yield is not enough to keep you with so-so growth. ... I want you to ring the register. I always fear that Brazil is just a trade."

Brightpoint(CELL Quote): "Too hard a business. I don't want to touch it."

Arena Resources: "It is a sleeper oil stock but it's up a lot. ... I still like Devon Energy (DVN Quote) better."

Indevus(IDEV Quote): "Lotta ways to win. ... A good speculative play." But Cramer suggested viewers do their homework on this one.

Motorola(MOT Quote): "Can't get behind the Motester. Been a real House of Pain. I see no momentum there." Cramer said he doesn't like the Nokester (Nokia(NOK Quote)), either. "I don't like the cell-phone business," he said.

Bio-Reference Laboratories (BRLI Quote): Cramer offered Quest Diagnostics(DGX Quote) instead. ... "I have been calling a bottom here at 52 bucks [in Quest]." He owns it for AA Plus.

Best Buy(BBY Quote): "It was the best of times at Best Buy, it was the worst of times at Circuit City(CC Quote). Best Buy should be bought here. They are annihilating Circuit City." Cramer asked if there even should be a Circuit City.
