It's Time for the Lightning Round!

Yamana Gold [AUY  Loading...      ()   ]: “When the financials move up, gold goes down,” Cramer says. “That’s the way it works. They can’t all go up at once.” He’s sticking with Yamana as a play for when things go bad.

Electronic Arts [ERTS  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer is giving up on this one. It refuses to rally and it seems to be dead in the water.

Total System Services [TSS  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer doesn’t think TSS will be independent in a year. He likes it as a takeover and on its earnings.

Finisar [FNSR  Loading...      ()   ]: “Their time has passed,” he says. They didn’t get the big orders and now FNSR is a “don’t buy.”

Celgene [CELG  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer likes it on the pullback. Every time there’s been an 8% pullback in CELG it has been miraculous, he says, and this time will be no different.

ConAgra [CAG  Loading...      ()   ]: ConAgra is not as bad as it used to be, Cramer says, although it has a serious raw cost problem.

Sappi [SPP  Loading...      ()   ]: “You stay long Sappi!”

Washington Group [WNG  Loading...      ()   ]: After being acquired yesterday by URS [URS  Loading...      ()   ], Cramer says there is only one thing to do: “You must sell Washington Group right now!”

Volvo AB [VOLV  Loading...      ()   ]: “This is an amazing stock that I’ve missed entirely,” he says. Between the great industrial business and fabulous yield, Cramer would back up the truck even right here at $21.


Southern Copper
[PCU  Loading...      ()   ]: PCU is good but Freeport-McMoRan [FCX  Loading...      ()   ] is better because it has gold and is much more levered to China, Cramer says.

Buld-A-Bear Workshop [BBW  Loading...      ()   ]: This company is too wildly inconsistent for Cramer to recommend it right now. Although if the stock goes back to $25, he would pull the trigger.

Jim’s charitable trust owns Freeport-McMoRan.
