Cramer's 'Mad Money Lightning Round': Stryker While It's Hot

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:

TD Ameritrade(AMTD): "Does seem like a coiled spring. ... Even though I like Ameritrade, I am going to send you to the lowest-multiple stock in the group." It's Goldman Sachs(GS), said Cramer, who owns it for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.

Yahoo!(YHOO): "I would sell it before Sue Decker [CFO] opens her mouth and preannounces to the downside once again."

Adobe Systems(ADBE): "About to ramp. ... I'm giving it two thumbs up, way up."

Alcatel-Lucent(ALU): "I am getting all the right signals that this company is actually going to make it. ... I'm hearing the quarter's good ... the business is coming back. Giving it a tepid one thumb up." But Cramer put it in the Don'tBuy category.

Valero Energy(VLO): "ConocoPhillips(COP) announced disturbingly low margins on refining," which Cramer said doesn't bode well for refining company Valero. Cramer said Valero "can go as low as 47," and only then would he sanction it.

Stryker(SYK): "This whole group is en fuego ... one of those companies that is probably in the sweet spot for this particular market," which is broken bones. "The baby boomers' play for bones."

Rentech(RTK): "If oil goes to 50, Rentech [an alternative-energy company] goes to 2."

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions (MDRX): "We liked the stock at 14. At 27 it's all Johnny-come-lately."

Coldwater Creek(CWTR): "I wouldn't give up on Coldwater Creek."
