Lightning Round: Corning, Oracle, Level 3 and More


Superior Offshore [DEEP  Loading...      ()   ]: Oil services are hurting because North American drilling is “just awful,” Cramer said. DEEP is too domestically exposed.

Corning [GLW  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer is in the House of Pain with Corning in his charitable trust. It has disappointed him and he admits he got it wrong.

Accuray [ARAY  Loading...      ()   ]: It’s not Intuitive Surgical [ISRG  Loading...      ()   ], which is better and still cheap, Cramer said, even if it doesn’t look it.

Oracle [ORCL  Loading...      ()   ]: “Money in the bank.” Cramer thinks Oracle goes to $25 and it isn’t too late to hop on board.

Compellent Tech [CML  Loading...      ()   ]: Not as good as VMware [VMW  Loading...      ()   ], which is the “real deal.” If you want a conservative way to play VMW, which Cramer thinks goes even higher, pick up some EMC [EMC  Loading...      ()   ].

Level 3 Communications [LVLT  Loading...      ()   ]: Until CEO Jim Crowe calls Cramer and tells him why the stock has been down, Cramer will not recommend it.

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia [MSO  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer said he cannot in good conscience recommend MSO. It is not working and he doesn’t see any upside.


Jim's charitable trust owns Corning and EMC.
