It's Time for the Lightning Round!

Penwest Pharmaceuticals [PPCO  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer likes this as a good speculative stock – but with little in the way of earnings or revenue, a spec is all it is.

Gildan Activewear [GIL  Loading...      ()   ]: “This is a real winner,” Cramer says. But he cautions that even though its cheap on a multiple basis, it’s had a big run. “Maybe you buy a little and then wait for a little pullback.”

AirTran Holdings [AAI  Loading...      ()   ]: “No can do.” The only airline Cramer has been recommending is GOL Linhas Areas [GOL  Loading...      ()   ]. “That stock is going to $40,” he says.

Chesapeake Energy [CHK  Loading...      ()   ]: Natural gas is back, Cramer says. Especially with hurricane season here, he thinks CHK goes higher. “Don’t abandon ship even though it has had a big run.”

Fannie Mae [FNM  Loading...      ()   ]: When the subpime loan market blew up, Fannie Mae stepped up to the plate and bought $20 million worth of liquidity, Cramer says. Now the company is growing its portfolio again, and he doesn’t think it becomes expensive until it hits $80.

Mylan Laboratories [MYL  Loading...      ()   ]: “I can’t go there,” Cramer says. He hasn’t been bullish on many drug stocks – he’d rather stick with a select few biotech companies like Celgene [CELG  Loading...      ()   ] and Gilead [GILD  Loading...      ()   ].

Fuel-Tech [FTEK  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer likes this as a pollution control company with a nitrogen-oxide solution. “I’m not bailing, and you shouldn’t either,” he says.

USANA Health Sciences [USNA  Loading...      ()   ]: “Too high risk for me.” Cramer would rather go with Herbalife [HLF  Loading...      ()   ].


Crocs
[CROX  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer is remaining bullish on Crocs until four more analysts start covering it. Only then will he ring the register.

JetBlue [JBLU  Loading...      ()   ]: JetBlue is another problematic airline that Cramer doesn’t want to touch. When it comes to the airline/aircraft/aerospace sectors, there’s three stocks worth owning, he says: GOL [GOL  Loading...      ()   ], Genesis Lease [GLS  Loading...      ()   ] and Boeing [BA  Loading...      ()   ].

Tesco [TESO  Loading...      ()   ]: The oil services group is still cheap, Cramer says. He thinks Tesco goes higher along with Halliburton.

Input/Output [IO  Loading...      ()   ]: “I think that’s one more great oil stock that can go higher.”

Trinity Industries [TRN  Loading...      ()   ]: “I am blessing you to hold onto Trinity.”

Marathon Oil [MRO  Loading...      ()   ]: Even at $128, Marathon is cheap, Cramer says.


Jim's charitable trust owns Fannie Mae and Halliburton.

GE, the parent company of CNBC, has an 11% stake in Genesis Lease.
