Cramer's 'Mad Money Lightning Round': Starwood in His Eyes

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" Monday evening:

Buffalo Wild Wings(BWLD): "I sit here and wonder how this stock became a human punching bag. ... You do not get three downgrades idly. Take advantage and SellSellSell."

Guidance Software (GUID): "It's come back to 14 ... I am not backing away from it. ... if it goes back to 12 ... we're gonna have to back up the truck*."

ATMI (ATMI): "I do not care for thin film equipment ... reminds me of Komag(KOMG), ... Ixnay, sell, you're done. If you want to be in tech ... I am going to send you to Hewlett-Packard(HPQ) (which Cramer owns for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust) ... best beneficiary of Vista and declining chip costs."

WebEx Communications(WEBX): "It's not an Akamai(AKAM). This is real-time interactive media. Does sell at almost twice its growth rate. ... I cannot bless."

Methanex(MEOH): "Grows very slowly ... has a very low P/E ... does have fuel-cell applications which have given it some boost. I'm in the Don'tBuy camp." Cramer said he prefers Allegheny Technologies(ATI)."

Harmonic(HLIT): "Not as good as Arris(ARRS). ... Ixnay on the Harmonic and move into Arris, which just did a real nifty acquisition."

Starwood Hotels & Resorts (HOT): "Incredibly high-end. ... I also like Hilton(HLT). I think Hilton and Starwood are both buys. ... Pull the trigger ahead of the spring and summer. HOT real hot and going higher."

China Automotive(CAAS): "We are gonna recommend China Mobile(CHL) or Petrochina(PTR)."

Penn National Gaming(PENN): "Great play on gambling, I am not backing away ... I still want to own Penn National Gaming."

BASF(BF): "Good company, do you mind if I stick with Wilmington, Delaware, and go to DuPont(DD) instead of Ludwigshafen, Germany?"

Turkcell Iletisim(TKC): "A challenged company, which is going to have very bad wireless competition, even though it's got that yield."

iRobot(IRBT): "I said take the profit, take it off the table, and I never looked back."

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