Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round Picks, March 20
Miriam Metzinger submits: Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV program, Tuesday March 20. Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:
Bullish calls:
Lockheed Martin (LMT): 'I think LMT is incredibly cheap. It's got a huge buyback. A question whether it even needs to be public. I would buy that stock hand over fist, every time it gets hammered. It's been a big winner, and it will stay a big winner.'
Reliance Steel (RS): 'RS is the cheapest stock left in the group. I look at RS, in the mid-$40s, and I think it's a travesty... The stock deserves to sell in the $50s... '
Freeport-McMoRan (FCX): ' There are very few stocks that I feel have created value by merging in this country... FCX has created a giant colossus of copper... As the Chinese continue to buy copper, you are going to coin money FCX... I typically don't like the cyclicals right here. FCX is a buy, buy, buy, and I want you to stay long it. FCX, you rock!'
Jacobs Engineering (JEC): 'It has reported two great upside surprises. And it does not get the respect ... JEC is best in show.... trades very difficult... I think $90 goes to $110. I like the infrastructure group. They're doing a great job.'
Foster Wheeler (FWLT): 'I like FWLT.'
Transocean (RIG): 'I've got to go with best of breed RIG. Long Live RIG!'
GlobalSantaFe (GSF)
Neutral calls:
Riverbed (RVBD): 'It has now pulled back to $26. There is a sense that the stock is played out, and the reason is that there's been so much insider selling. I am now in 'wait and see' mode in RVBD.... I can't pull the trigger on RVBD, until I see the quarter...'
Bearish calls:

Southwest Airlines (LUV): 'it was the once-great - because no one else had its recipe... and now everyone's got its recipe... and now, it's a don't buy ... LUV has got to come down before I can recommend it.'
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD): 'I've got to take the extraordinary step of pressing every single bad button there is! Sell, sell, sell! The house of pain... There is no reason for AMD to live! It has no purpose! It has nothing going for it! If you're in AMD, I give you permission right now to leave, and sell that stock!'
GameStop (GME): 'The new product's dried up a little, so I've got to tell you, I would not buy GME until we get closer to the Christmas season. I think it does nothing for now.'
Diamond Offshore (DO): 'No. DO does not have the leverage to the world that RIG has. It has a little too much Gulf of Mexico for me ... I cannot bless that stock.'
