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:
CSX Corp (CSX Quote): "I praise CEO Michael Ward. This is one of the finest railroads out there. But I can't recommend the stock because of the hedge funds trying to remove him. They make me sick."
Royal Bank (RBS Quote): "I have to tell you, I wouldn't touch this one with a 10-foot pole. There is nothing there and I do not want to own Royal Bank."
Molson Coors (TAP Quote): "This is very controversial. I was wrong that
Anheuser-Busch (BUD Quote) should be sold, but I've been right that Molson should be bought."
Washington Mutual (WM Quote): "This is one of the worst run companies I have ever seen in my entire life. I cannot say what will happen to that company because I'd probably get in too much trouble. "
Home Depot (HD Quote): "Oh boy. No, I don't want you to buy this one. The only retailers I like are
Costco (COST Quote) and
Wal-Mart (WMT Quote) here. I can't tell you to buy Home Depot."
Onyx Pharmaceuticals (ONXX Quote): "I liked this one, then I didn't. No, I wouldn't touch it here."
Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK Quote): "I like Hudson City, but I'm not recommending a single financial stock here. They are all being brought down by home equity right now. It's too hard."
Trina Solar Ltd (TSL Quote): "This is a Chinese solar play and I've been very negative on every solar stock lately. I prefer wind power over solar. Solar is just too dangerous."
Intercontinental Exchange (ICE Quote): "Every single financial exchange is trading down and ICE is no exception. They are trapped and I can't get behind them here."
Energy Conversion Devices (ENER Quote): "I missed this one, my bad. That's battery technology and that's one good alternative energy stock. "
*For all you home-gamers, a 'mon-back opportunity means Cramer would back up the figurative truck and load up on a stock.
