Lightning Round: Blockbuster, Palm, CNOOC and More

Pacific Ethanol : “I have to steer you away from that.” Sell, sell, sell! Bunge and Monsanto are better plays, Cramer said.

Sirius Satellite : “Mel Karmazin is back in our good graces…and I’m giving him two thumbs up.”

Blockbuster : Don’t buy! Cramer said he’s “lukewarm” on Blockbuster.

Palm : “I have to tell you I don’t like Palm at all.” Cramer likes Research in Motion better.

LDK Solar :Suntech and First Solar are Cramer favorites, more so than LDK.

First Marblehead : Cramer said it FMD was just too hard to call. Congress and the company’s earnings are just too unpredictable.

F5 Networks : Cramer likes Omniture more.

Meridian Biosciences : “I think diagnostic companies are the wave of the future.” Cramer is bullish on VIVO.

Furmanite : Cramer admits he doesn’t know FRM, so he’s going to do his homework on the stock and come back to it.

Blue Coat Systems : “I think Blue Coat’s a real winner. I have to go with it.”

Trimble Navigation : Go with Garmin instead, Cramer said.

CNOOC : “CNOOC’s a good company, and I like all the Chinese oils.”

Central European Distribution : “That is a great stock, and I recommend that strongly.”
