It's Time for the Lightning Round!

Automatic Data Processing [ADP  Loading...      ()   ]: ADP is a steady stock that you won’t lose any sleep over, Cramer said. Own it.

Riverbed Technology [RVBD  Loading...      ()   ]: “Riverbed is absolutely terrific.” RVBD is “one of the most exciting tech stocks there is.”

Gerdau AmeriSteel [GNA  Loading...      ()   ]: “I don’t know if that has the kind of leverage you want.” Cramer would rather see investors in Reliance Steel [RS  Loading...      ()   ] on the earnings alone.

Gol Intelligent Air [GOL  Loading...      ()   ]: “Oil is going higher. I don’t want to own airlines in this environment.”

Mariner Energy [ME  Loading...      ()   ]: McMoRan Exploration [MMR  Loading...      ()   ] is a better play, Cramer said.

Lundin Mining [LMC  Loading...      ()   ]: It’s probably best to wait for a pullback before buying LMC. But Cramer’s not so sure there is going to be one.

Qualcomm [QCOM  Loading...      ()   ]: “This move in tech is real. You must get back into tech.” Cramer said right now is a renaissance moment in the sector, much like 1995 was.

Genuine Parts [GPC  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer recommends swapping into Johnson Controls [JCI  Loading...      ()   ].

Crocs [CROX  Loading...      ()   ]: Crocs still gets a thumbs up, but it’s Under Armour [UA  Loading...      ()   ] that’s on Cramer’s radar. The new line of clothes makes it a great trade.

McDermott International [MDR  Loading...      ()   ]: “You stay long McDermott.”

International Royalty [ROY  Loading...      ()   ]: Cleveland Cliffs [CLF  Loading...      ()   ], Companhia Vale do Rio Doce [RIO  Loading...      ()   ], Lundin Mining [LMC  Loading...      ()   ] and Freeport-McMoRan [FCX  Loading...      ()   ] are all better picks than ROY, Cramer said.

Cramer’s charitable trust owns Freeport-McMoRan.
