Lightning Round: KB Home, Dell, Whole Foods and More

Posted By:Carlo Dellaverson

Topics:Stock Picks | Stock Market

VMware [VMW Loading... () ]: Don’t get greedy, Cramer said. “Always ring the register when you’re up 38 points.” He recommended taking half off the table.

KB Home [KBH Loading... () ]: Its quarter was a “thing of beauty,” all things considered. Cramer would rather own the senior debt than the common shares, though.

Dell [DELL Loading... () ]: The better play is Hewlett-Packard [HPQ Loading... () ], Cramer said. “Dell is unexciting.”

Whole Foods Market [WFMI Loading... ()

]: It has been rocketing, but Cramer doesn’t want to get too excited. Take out the cost basis and let the rest run, he said.

Xoma [ZOMA Loading... () ]: Buy XOMA at $3 and sell it at $5. Cramer urged patience, but he said it should make a comeback.

Texas Instruments [TXN Loading... () ]: “It seems to have stalled. I’m not stalling. I think it goes to $40.”

Coleman Cable [CCIX Loading... () ]: Cramer admits he hasn’t looked into Coleman recently enough to opine on its state of business. He promised to come back to it.

Microsoft [MSFT Loading... () ]: No matter what it does – whether its Halo or online advertising or a new Zune – MSFT can’t gather momentum. Cramer recommended Apple [AAPL Loading... () ] for those who want exposure to tech.

Occidental Petroleum [OXY Loading... () ]: Cramer’s still bullish on the oil companies, but OXY isn’t one of his favorites. It has also had a “monster run,” he said, so why not take some off?

ISIS Pharma [ISIS Loading... () ]: “I want you in Nastech [NSTK Loading... () ]!”

Flotek [FTK Loading... () ]: Cramer is a fan of the oil services. FTK is at a 52-week high, so let it come in but it’s a “good one,” he said.

Crocs [CROX Loading... () ]: “I still think Crocs goes higher.”

Jim's charitable trust owns Hewlett-Packard.
