Cramer's 'Mad Money Lightning Round': Back Up the Volvo Truck

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" Wednesday evening:

Yamana Gold (AUY Quote - Cramer on AUY - Stock Picks): "You must have a pastiche if not a mosaic of stocks. ... This is a gold stock. When the financials move up, gold goes down. ... They cannot all go up at once. I am sticking by Yamana."

Electronic Arts (ERTS Quote - Cramer on ERTS - Stock Picks): "I'm givin' up on this one. ... This thing does not rally. It just seems like it's dead in the water. ... I kept thinking that Viacom (VIAB Quote - Cramer on VIAB - Stock Picks) would buy it. Instead, Viacom's buying back its own stock. ... Ixnay on the ERTS-nay."

Total System Services (TSS Quote - Cramer on TSS - Stock Picks): "You are in great shape. TSS, I believe, will not be independent a year from now. ... I like TSS as a takeover and on earnings."

Finisar (FNSR Quote - Cramer on FNSR - Stock Picks): "There's a time and a place for Finisar," Cramer said, and this is not it. "Finisar is a Don'tBuy. ... They didn't get the big orders."

Celgene (CELG Quote - Cramer on CELG - Stock Picks): "Friend buddy pal[CFO] Bob Hugin is not gonna let us down. The stock's had a nice pullback, which means you should back up the truck.*"

ConAgra Foods (CAG Quote - Cramer on CAG - Stock Picks): "Not as bad as it used to be. ... They have a raw cost problem."

Sappi (SPP Quote - Cramer on SPP - Stock Picks): "You stay long Sappi."

Washington Group International (WNG Quote - Cramer on WNG - Stock Picks): "I want you to sell that thing right now."

Volvo (VOLV Quote - Cramer on VOLV - Stock Picks): "That is an unbelievable stock. Have you seen that thing? This is an amazing stock that I missed entirely. It has a great industrial business. It has a great yield. ... I would back up the truck."

Southern Copper (PCU Quote - Cramer on PCU - Stock Picks): "I like PCU." But, Cramer said, "I think FCX (Freeport-McMoRan (FCX Quote - Cramer on FCX - Stock Picks)) is better. ... It's also got gold" and is more levered to China.

Build-A-Bear Workshop (BBW Quote - Cramer on BBW - Stock Picks): "Wildly inconsistent. They are too dangerous for this guy. ... If that stock were to go back to 25, I would pull the trigger. But right now I'm staying put."

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