'Mad Money Lightning Round': Wait for Wachovia
To see the full "Mad Money" Recap, please click here.
Here's what Jim Cramer had to say about some of the stocks that callers offered up during the "Mad Money Lightning Round" Friday evening: Wachovia (WB): "This is run by Bob Steel. He's as close as we're going to get to a great banker. I think he's going to make this a great company. " Energy Transfer Partners (ETP): "This is another one of these gas gathering stocks with a great yield. I think the dividend is safe, I like it." Continental Resources (CLR): "The is the best play on the Dakota natural gas business. I don't think it's safe to bottom fish in this sector yet." Leggett & Platt (LEG): "This one had a good quarter. I think its had too much of a run already, though. I think you should sell it and move into another early cycle stock like Lowes (LOW)." BP (BP): "I think the 5% yield is safe but that stock is going nowhere. I'm going to put it in the "don't buy" camp." Atlas Energy Resources (ATN): "It looks like the big selling is over. I think the yield is safe and we can't walk away from these stocks. It's time to buy." Ambac (ABK): "If the Treasury cleans up the mess, then you'll make some money, but I'd rather be on the sidelines for this one." Elan (ELN): "No can do. Too hard. I think its a big no right now." Pitney Bowes (PBI): "Problematic. I have companies making the quarter getting killed, I don't need ones that miss the quarter." Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR): "I think this one is a buy here and is actually growing. This one I want to get behind." Consol Energy (CNX): "I'd rather see you in Equitable Resources (EQT). I believe that natural gas is the way of the future. I just don't trust coal in this political environment." *For all you home-gamers, a 'mon-back opportunity means Cramer would back up the figurative truck and load up on a stock. Want more Cramer?
