'Mad Money Lightning Round': Hold Off on Exxon

Scott Rutt

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:

Exxon Mobil (XOM Quote): "I'm still a buyer of Exxon. I can't recommend it here because there's more selling coming, but I'm going to re-recommend it soon."

Gran Tierra Energy (GTE Quote): "I like energy, but remember what I said, energy is going to get pummeled here. It's too early; they're still too hot."

Evergreen Solar (ESLR Quote): "No thank you. The only one I'm staying with is First Solar (FSLR Quote). I am not ready to pull the trigger on Evergreen, it's just too speculative."

Johnson Controls (JCI Quote): "This is the best house in a bad neighborhood. I can't stand the automotive group, so I can't have you own this stock."

Office Depot Inc (ODP Quote): "I do not like retail. There's only a handful of discounters I like, like Costco (COST Quote) but that's it. Retail is too hard."

Martin Marietta Materials (MLM Quote): "I like crushed rock, but it's too linked to residential construction. I don't want to own it here."

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