Lightning Round: U.S. Steel, Verizon, Youku.com, Hess and More

U.S. Steel : Cramer doesn't like the steel companies right now because of reports suggesting weak demand.

Verizon Communications : This wireless company has a lot of growth potential and being as the stock pays a 5 percent dividend yield, Cramer thinks it's a buy.

Youku.com :Baidu is the only Chinese stock Cramer's recommending right now.

Hess : This stock has been struggling, as of late, but Cramer thinks the company has good growth potential.

Quicksilver Resources : Cramer is bullish on this domestic oil producer.

Renren : Again, Cramer isn't excited about most Chinese stocks right now, including REN.

When this story was published, Cramer's charitable trust owned Hess.

A previous version of this story listed an incorrect ticker symbol for Renren (RENN).
