Lightning Round: Vera Bradley Designs, Bank of America, Alcatel Lucent and More

Johnson Controls : Cramer said this company is too hard to own and has too many companies levered to the auto business. He suggests selling it until it gets down to $33 or $34 a share.

PPL : This stock is an "excellent buy," Cramer said, because of its five percent yield. He advises buying half now and more if it comes down.

Vera Bradley Designs : VRA had a nice run, and it's time to move on, the "Mad Money" host said.

Heckmann : Cramer thinks this U.S. company, which includes a subsidiary that manufactures and sells bottle water products in China, is a good buy.

Bank of America : Banks are still a "free-fire zone" according to Cramer. He said it is still too early to buy.

Alcatel Lucent : While ALU has had a very big run, Cramer said it's still a "second-rate also-ran telco player in a market where telco is not that good." He would sell this stock.

Boise : This paper company looks like Temple-Inland , which got a bid from International Paper Monday. If BZ rallies because of this, then Cramer said sell because the industrials are not trading right.
