Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV program, Thursday, May 1. Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:

Bullish calls:

Wal-Mart (WMT): “ …We're only buying four retailers... we're buying Costco, we’re buying TJX, we're buying Urban Outfitters, and we're buying Wal-Mart.
Costco (COST), TJX Companies (TJX), Urban Outfitters (URBN)
Marvel Enterprises (MVL): “I'm in Ironman, so it's definitely big... and I think MVL is a winner. Their movie gambit turned out to work. I would pull the trigger, ahead of the big opening.”

Bearish calls:

Callaway Golf (ELY): “There's a secular slowdown in golf... as much as we think there's a lot of business done in golf, it is in a declining industry, so I am not going to recommend ELY.”
Cato Corp (CTR): “No, no... that's a retailer. We're only buying four retailers
Melco PBL Entertainment (MPEL): “I have hated it since $18. I wish I had hated it since $21. I don't want anything to do with gaming.”
International Game Technology (IGT): “I don't like International Game Technology anymore, although it's down all the way.”
Las Vegas Sands (LVS): “ …is no-go. I've been negative on that.”
Wynn Resorts (WYNN): “I don't care that it's up. I want you to sell it.”
Penn National Gaming (PENN): “I don't think that deal ever closes.”
Sapient (SAPE): “First of all, it's that kind of software that I don't really care for. Second, the management turnover there has just been a nightmare.”
CapitalSource (CSE): “ I don't like the REITs... sell, sell, sell!... mortgaged, levered business. I want you to stay out of that.”
