Cramer's 'Mad Money Lightning Round': Time for General Maritime

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" Friday evening:

Oilsands Quest (BQI): "You're gonna have to go with Suncor(SU) or EnCana(ECA)."

Cellcom Israel(CEL): "Too dicey ... you got Verizon(VZ) ... AT&T(T) selling cheap. Don't look back. Pull the trigger to exit and go into one of my two."

"Hewlett-Packard(HPQ) was a good quarter. The guidance was good. Mark Hurd has done a good job. I am telling you to back up the truck Hewlett right here at 40." Cramer owns it for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.

Vasco Data Security(VDSI): "A data security company that looks so much like every other one that has been taken over. I would buy it, but not with reckless abandon."

PetroHawk Energy(HAWK): "Been a punching bag because of that natural gas exposure. ... I would swap out of the Hawk and move into Devon(DVN) ... has that great Gulf of Mexico find and is up only 4 points since it was announced."

Arch Coal(ACI): "Up 10% since I recommend it on "Stop Trading" (on CNBC). ... I also like BTU, Peabody(BTU)."

Frontline(FRO): Cramer instead offered General Maritime(GMR), "one of the great companies ... management knows what it's doing."

Prudential(PRU): "It has been found money ... stick with it. Going to par."

Tronox(TRX): "I don't like TRX, too commodified."

Quest Diagnostics(DGX): "People think the margins are bad. ... That quarter is going to be good. ... the stock is cheap. I would buy, buy, buy. Don't be dissuaded by the bears." Cramer owns it for Action Alerts PLUS.

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