It's Time for the Lightning Round!

Pride International [PDE  Loading...      ()   ]: This is a contract driller and a stock that Cramer likes in this market. “Let’s buy it.”

American Software [AMSWA  Loading...      ()   ]: It’s a fine tech company, Cramer said, but he’d rather go with names like Riverbed Technology [RVBD  Loading...      ()   ], Cisco [CSCO  Loading...      ()   ], Hewlett-Packard [HPQ  Loading...      ()   ] or Dell [DELL  Loading...      ()   ].

Peabody Energy [BTU  Loading...      ()   ]: Even though oil is up, the government is not helping coal companies like Peabody, Cramer said. He has liked coal, but it’s not at the right level right now.


Foundry Networks
[FDRY  Loading...      ()   ]: “This happens to be another stock in the sweet spot,” Cramer said. He believes stocks like FDRY, which didn’t go down at all today, are going to work in this environment because they don’t need debt, they don’t have to do a leveraged buyout and they don’t need the domestic consumer.

RPM International [RPM  Loading...      ()   ]: “It’s not going to work, but it’s not going to hurt you either,” Cramer said.

Anadigics [ANAD  Loading...      ()   ]: If you look, you’ll see that most tech stocks, including ANAD are at or close to a 52-week high. “I can hold on to that,” Cramer said.

Applied Materials [AMAT  Loading...      ()   ]: A company with low valuation and a lot of cash, and it’s moving into solar. Cramer predicts one down and three up for AMAT, which to him says “buy, buy, buy.”

Immersion [IMMR  Loading...      ()   ]: Immersion has never made anyone money, Cramer said. Sell it.

Cumulus Media [CMLS  Loading...      ()   ]: It’s been straight down since it announced it would be bought out on Monday, Cramer said. “I need you out of Cumulus.”

Intel [INTC  Loading...      ()   ]: Intel is one of the reasons why Cramer is so bullish on Dell and Hewlett-Packard, as they are big buyers of Intel chips. That being said, Cramer would “rather see you out of Intel and into Hewlett-Packard.”

Pfizer [PFE  Loading...      ()   ]: “Pfizer doesn’t have it,” Cramer said. He would swap out of PFE and buy some Schering-Plough [SGP  Loading...      ()   ].

IHOP [IHP  Loading...      ()   ]: It was a buy on the merger with Applebee’s [APPB  Loading...      ()   ], Cramer said, but now he’d take the gain. “It’s in the wrong group.”

Jim’s charitable trust owns Hewlett-Packard.
