Cramer's 'Mad Money Lightning Round': Fill Up With Yum!

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:

Oceaneering International (OII): "Listen and listen good, Oceaneering, Core Labs (CLB) and FMC (FMC) all went down. ... That is wrong. ... I am telling you right now, FMC, I want you to be big in it. ... And Core Labs is best in show."

Concho Resources (CXO): "These are kind of gas and oil plays. And the ones I'm gonna recommend are Apache (APA) and XTO Energy (XTO). Why those two? They've already reported. They reported great quarters. ... I want to be sure, and those you can pull the trigger on, I need to have seen the quarter already."

Axsys Technologies (AXYS): "You know this is another one of the optical segment plays. ... I've gotta tell you, I like Ciena (CIEN) more. Yours no, Ciena yes."

Schnitzer Steel Industries (SCHN): "It missed the quarter, man. I got too many companies that hit the quarter. I like Reliance Steel (RS) more than I like yours. I like AK Steel (AKS) more than I like yours. I like United States Steel (X). I got three companies I like more than I like yours."

Brookfield Asset Management (BAM): "Here's the deal, BAM is run by a brilliant group of people. This could be the Canadian Warren Buffett. I would urge you to buy more. This company is so smart. ... I think that Mr. Flatt [Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer Bruce Flatt], who runs the company, will be able to take that strong Canadian dollar and buy more American companies."

Yum! Brands (YUM): "I want you to buy more of it! ... KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, these are world-class brands. ... I would recommend Yum! at $40 going to $45, raising my price target right there."
