Cramer's 'Mad Money Lightning Round': Simon Sizzles

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:

Exxon Mobil (XOM): "I don't want to own Exxon. If I have to own an oil stock ... Chevron(CVX) because it has a better dividend."

NYSE Group(NYX): "It's a 'mon back* situation. The New York Stock Exchange is cheap, cheap, cheap. I don't want you to lose stock of that. I like the stock very much."

Motorola(MOT): "The cell-phone business is just too hard. There's too much enfilading fire ... I say no, and I include no for Nokia(NOK)." Conversely, Cramer said Apple's(AAPL) "taking no prisoners."

eBay(EBAY): "A lot of people doubt me on this positive call. ... It's a TripleBuy."

Simon Property Group(SPG): "I think you got a great gain. I want to do a little schnitzel[sale], not a lot. ... And I still like real estate investment trusts that are in commercial."

Northgate Minerals(NXG): "Good speculation, but Yamana(AUY) is the cream of the crop for gold."

Hershey Foods(HSY): "Not gonna help ya, not gonna hurt ya."

Dell(DELL): "I think the rally in personal computers is going to be so big, it's going to encompass even ne'er-do-well Dell."

Wells Fargo(WFC): "Best-in-show regional bank. ... Wells Fargo rocks, they know how to integrate, they know how to cross-sell."

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