Cramer's 'Mad Money Lightning Round': Can-Do Costco

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" Tuesday evening:

First Solar (FSLR): "We had a really big run in First Solar, but after the close, they reported what was just an in-line number." In any case, Cramer said he was feeling greedy and gave First Solar a SellSellSell. "We must not be pigs."

Alcatel-Lucent (ALU): "Patricia is on the Wall of Shame!" Cramer said, referring to his list of CEOs who are bringing their companies down. "Once again, I tell you that as long as she's running that company, despite a fabulous bull market in communications equipment, that remains SellSellSell!"

FactSet Research Systems (FDS): "I think this is a natural to be snapped up by someone."

"Dynegy (DYN) has come in. A lot of people are thinking it's speculative. ... That company is worth on a breakup value a lot more. ... I'm not backing away from Dynegy. I think it's a buy, but this is a scary market."

Brocade Communications (BRCD): "My take is this: Brocade is being unfairly beaten up. It's just not that bad. But I gotta tell you, if you're going to be in that sector, Brocade goes up against Cisco (CSCO), and Cisco is my favorite play in that group."

Indevus Pharmaceuticals (IDEV): "We've been behind Indevus. We think that that is a great spec play, and it's only a buck off its high, but we continue to like it very much."

Costco (COST): "I think that Costco is a buy. It's my favorite retailer. It's literally my favorite retailer in a group that everyone knows I cannot stand."

Acergy (ACGY): "Another one of these small drilling service companies. ... It's good! When you get a stock like Acergy, you just have to ride it. Don't worry about the minute to minute. ... This stuff will start coming back."

CF Industries (CF): "Let's be very clear. I like the ag market. Mosaic (MOS) had a terrific quarter. Your play is good. ... But I've been too greedy. Let's ring a little register on the ag bull market. ... I want you to stick with ag, but I want you to take some profits."

Cramer was also bullish on EMC (IDEV), Agrium (AGU) and Potash (POT). He was bearish on General Cable (BGC) and Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD).
