Cramer's 'Mad Money Lightning Round': Serving Up Denny's

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:

Denny's(DENN) is so right ... a restructuring story ... paying off debt ... earnings going to go up. Getting to where it should have been two years ago. Two thumbs up, way up."

Ship Finance International (SFL): "Too many very large carriers being built. That could drive the rates down. They may not be able to pay the dividend. Put me in the Don'tBuy" camp.

Mentor(MNT): "There's room for Mentor, but it is not as good as Allergan(AGN)."

Valero Energy(VLO): "Mutual funds are piling out of Valero. ... Even though it's dirt cheap, I don't want you to buy Valero."

MasterCard(MA): "Pull the trigger [buy]. ... There's nothing wrong, we just found out JPMorgan(JPM) had 17% growth in the credit card business ... I'm staying bullish ... been bullish for 50 points ... not backing away."

MGM Mirage(MGM): "Ring the register ... Las Vegas Sands(LVS) and Wynn are Cramer's favorites in the group. He said he likes Las Vegas Sands because a company "can make seven times per table in Macau [China]" more than in Vegas.

Immucor(BLUD): "This company does terrific laboratory work. ... Well-run, it's a good company ... fabulous growth. Sells about one times earnings. What's not to like?"

Global Sources(GSOL): "You know, I like this company. You know, it's an Internet play ... hit 52-week high ... but I'm not backing away."

Duke Energy(DUK): "They've restructured the company ... so well-run ... I like the utilities here, and Duke is one of the best in the country."

MGI Pharma(MOGN): "It's a cancer-attacking biotech company." But Cramer ixnayed it in favor of best-of-breed Genentech(DNA).
