Cramer's Lightning Round - One Step for MannKind, A Giant Leap for Gilead (9/14/09)

Stocks discussed on the lightning round session of Jim Cramer's Mad Money TV Program, Tuesday July 14.

Bullish Calls:

MannKind (MNKD), Gilead Sciences (GILD): "This company has a lot of drugs in trials right now. It's speculative. I like Gilead Sciences better. I'd rather see you in that one."

FPL Group (FPL), Consolidated Edison (ED), Exelon (EXC): "I'm more partial to Consolidated Edison and Exelon, but I'm not going to discourage Florida Power right here."

Progress Energy (PGL), Dominion Resources (D): "I think this one is terrific. But I think you could swap out of that one for Dominion Resources, which is even better."

Bearish Calls:

Tortoise Energy Infrastructure (TYG): "I don't want you to be there. I think there are a lot of better places to go. Oil's still coming down and you don't want to be levered to oil."

Dolby Labs (DLB): "I think that's last year's stock. I'm not going to bless that stock."

Gilead compared to Mannkind??? What a joke Cramer is to compare these two companies. Mannkind is a one-trick pony (for now) and a highly speculative play. Gilead is has a huge huge attractive pipeline. Which would I rather be in? Why, I don't know...like which would I rather be watching an episode of Greenacres or Cramer...GREENACRES, of course!
