Cramer's 'Mad Money Lightning Round': Toothy Prospects for Colgate

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:

Colgate-Palmolive(CL Quote): "That is a truly great American company. It was a fabulous (earnings) number. ... Colgate-Palmolive is on a tear. ... Holy cow, it's time to back up the truck*. Cleanest quarter in the whole group, with the exception of maybe Clorox(CLX Quote)."

Sirius Satellite Radio(SIRI Quote): "I take the whip. ... I did the inexcusable recommending a stock that did not have the fundamentals on a takeover basis. Now I have to pay."

NYSE Group(NYX Quote): "The shorts lean on it. ... I think that the merger [with Euronext] is going to produce gigantic numbers ... a lot of people are impatient. ... I am sticking by it. I want to buy more for Action Alerts PLUS.com."

Respironics(RESP Quote): "I believe very strongly ... that sleep apnea franchise is a strong one. Down two bucks from its high. I say bring me some Respironics."

Rackable Systems(RACK Quote): "Quarter was just awful." Cramer said maybe in August or September "you'll get some lift. ... That may have been the worst quarter so far in 2007."

Par Pharmaceutical(PRX Quote): "I have not liked the generic stocks. ... The companies that make generic drugs are commodity companies. They have nothing proprietary ... I will take any main-line pharma company over any knockoff company."

Comcast(CMCSA Quote): "I am banking with Brian Roberts the CEO ... spending more money to get a lot more revenues. ... I feel that they are doing all the right things. ... That stock should be bought, and it should be bought nine ways to Sunday."

Informatica(INFA Quote): "Only enterprise software stock that I am backing now is a real shocker. ... I was going to recommend CA(CA Quote) ... reported a huge upside surprise."

World Wrestling Entertainment(WWE Quote): "WWE has done absolutely nothing ... since I recommended it ... but you got a 6% yield."

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