Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV program, Wednesday November 7. Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:

Bullish calls:

Boston Beer (SAM): ‘Vicious over-reaction to a cautionary comment! It is true that the stuff in beer is going up in price... It is true that the environment is somewhat challenging for beer... It is not right that that company lost a third of its value on their caution... I want to buy SAM. I think that SAM bounces back.’
Research In Motion (RIMM): ‘Look, this thing is like a beacon … one of the most horrible days I have seen... in the last five years, this stock was up … I said take half the profits in RIMM... I want a better entry point before I buy any more RIMM, because, man, it's too hot for me in here... ‘
Monsanto (MON): ‘This is another unbelievable stock… This market's awful. MON, only down $2. How about we get a better entry point, but we pull the trigger just down a couple from here?...’
Deere (DE): ‘This group is alternative oil, because it's agriculture, it's renewable.’
Potash (POT)
Bunge (BG)
Syngenta (SYT)
Mosaic (MOS)
Agrium (AGU)
XTO Energy (XTO): ‘If you want to be in that business, and be domestic, I'm going to send you to XTO … I’m going to send you to Devon.’
Devon Energy (DVN)
Apache (APA): ‘Apache remains strong!’
Prudential (PRU): ‘Art Ryan, the CEO... he hates risk more than anybody else I've ever seen... He literally did not buy any of this junk... I think that PRU has become the rock, when it comes to insurance.’
Intel (INTC)
athenahealth (ATHN)
UnitedHealth (UNH): ‘And may I mention that one of the few other stocks that did well today... on an upgrade by UBS... was Unitedhealth … I have stuck with this one, seemingly forever... It has whipped me... it has made me... Ouch, jeez! (Cramer produced an actual whip and whipped his backside).’

Bearish calls:

Delta Petroleum (DPTR): ‘You just cannot make a lot of money when you're buying anything that is just purely domestic... and it's spec... ‘
Excel Maritime Carriers (EXM): ‘These carriers are under tremendous, tremendous pressure…too volatile… let it come in before I’d recommend thatstock.’
MetLife (MET): ‘I like MET, but I want to swap into Prudential.’
SanDisk (SNDK): ‘I have to say don't buy SNDK…it’s too hard here.’
