Stocks discussed on the Lightning Round session of Jim Cramer's Mad Money TV Program, Thursday May 24.

Bullish Stocks:

Visa (V): "It is terrific. Every time the stock goes down, we say 'buy, buy, buy.' It is a financial with little financial risk. Great management."

Kodiak Oil & Gas (KOG): "I think oil is going to $85...that makes Kodiak a spec. It is very inexpensive. If oil bounces, it will bounce."

Bearish Stocks:

Corning (GLW): "Is a challenged company...TV sales are weak. I'm going to say 'don't buy'."

NYSE Euronext (NYX): "I don't like to own NYSE, because business is soft. Stay away."

Facebook (FB): "It is an overvalued stock. The numbers are going to come down. It should trade in the $30-35 range."

VelocityShares Daily 2x VIX Short-Term ETN (TVIX): "I don't like to trade that stuff. It is too emotional. I have no edge."

Gamestop (GME): I think

Sell Block: Best Buy (BBBY), First Solar (FSLR), Mako Surgical (MAKO), Deckers (DECK), Fossil (FOSL), J.C. Penney (JCP)

Cramer discussed 6 value traps to avoid:

Best Buy (BBBY) sells at only 5 times next year's earnings and has come down 13%. The company has been upgraded, but its latest quarter told a sorry tale; same store sales declined by 5.3% and margins were low. Cramer, who had recommended the stock prior to the quarter, says this new data is reason enough to stay away.

First Solar (FSLR) is in a tough industry which is suffering from cuts in government subsidies, particularly in Europe. Some investors are attracted to the stock because it is cheap, but it is cheap for good reason. The company reported a "hideous" earnings miss, and the stock should not be

Hormel (HRL), JPMorgan (JPM), Facebook (FB), Morgan Stanley (MS), Ford (F)

Spam represents what is working in this market. On a day the averages dropped before an exuberant rebound, Cramer advised investors to look for stocks of companies that are steady and secure. Hormel (HRL), creator of Spam, the first canned ham, reported a great quarter, and is just shy of its 52 week high. While the word "spam" and "Spain" look similar, HRL does not suffer from European exposure, and is a stock that can withstand a financial assault. Spam is something everyone can understand, and it is worth owning something comprehensible, rather than trying to figure out JPMorgan's (JPM) synthetic securities. Hormel is an innovative company, and its sales of Jennie-O turkey products were at 70.2 million last quarter, compared to predictions

Bullish Calls:

Titan International (TWI): "We had management on the show... they were optimistic. I share their optimism. They were toughly optimistic. They were in-your-face optimistic. But I do like it."

Vertex (VRTX), Celgene (CELG): "I think (Vertex) goes remarkably higher. It has done lots of back and forth. It could go to $80. I think it is the best biotech other than Celgene."

Incyte (INCY): "It is a good speculative situation. I will bless it as a spec."

Apple (AAPL): "(Hewlett-Packard's quarter) makes me feel better about Apple."

Bearish Calls:

Seadrill (SDRL): "It looks like a

Has Apple (AAPL) Bottomed?

Is Apple bottoming (AAPL)? The stock was a leader, but has fallen out of favor of late. It began moving out of its funk when it rose 31 points in one session last week. The stock rallied from December 2011 to April. However, in April, the stock had an "outside day" during which it opened higher than the high of the previous day, but closed lower than the previous day's low. This is a classic technical sell signal. After that, Apple failed to rally along with the S&P 500, and seemed to have lost its leadership position. The stock fell from $622 to $555 in two weeks. While the stock rallied on a strong quarter in April, it gave up most its gains. However, Apple seems to have bottomed, since

Bullish Calls:

Timken (TKR): "...is a great company. It's fabulous. It's terrific. I want to own it. Industrial America is doing well, but nobody cares."

Dunkin' Brands (DNKN): "...Dunkin' is the one to buy."

Bearish Calls:

Bullish Calls:

National Oilwell Varco (NOV): "It is the best company in the industry. Oil is not going down much more...it is almost a monopoly in terms of making rigs. Don't sell it."

Opko Health (OPK): "I'm still a believer...I would pick some up."

Hain (HAIN): "I like Hain, which is cheaper (than Annie's)."

A Bit Of Advice For Ron Johnson: J.C. Penney (JCP). Other stocks mentioned: Pier 1 Imports (PIR), Target (TGT), Apple (AAPL)

J.C. Penney (JCP) faced great expectations when Ron Johnson, architect of the Apple (AAPL) Stores after spending 16 years at Target (TGT), took the helm. However, Johnson's ambitious plans for JCP did not come to fruition. The company missed earnings, saw an 18% decline in same store sales, discontinued its dividend and saw its margins squeezed. Johnson sounded upbeat, which made people wonder if he had delusions of grandeur. One sweeping strategy that has not worked is Johnson's doing away with promotions that customers enjoy and creating an "every day low price" initiative. However, customers, who like special deals, stayed away from JCP.

Cramer's advice for Johnson is that he follow the lead

13 Things To Watch In The Coming Week: Lowe's (LOW), Campbell's Soup (CPB), TechData (TECD), Autozone (AZO), Best Buy (BBY), Ralph Lauren (RL), Dell (DELL), Toll Brothers (TOL), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Pandora (P), Phillips Van Heusen (PVH), Costco (COST), Tiffany (TIF). Other stocks mentioned: Home Depot (HD), Hain Celestial (HAIN), LinkedIn (LNKD), Facebook (FB), Salesforce.com (CRM), Chesapeake Energy (CHK).

Cramer discussed things to watch in the coming week:

Monday:

Lowe's (LOW) reports, and Cramer is circumspect after a downbeat reaction to Home Depot's (HD) good quarter. HD might be picking up market share from Lowe's, and Cramer would rather own HD than Lowe's.

Campbell's (CPB) yields 3.5%, and might ordinarily be a buy, but after talking with CEO Irwin Simon of Hain Celestial (HAIN), Cramer thinks the latter might be winning the soup wars, as

CEO Interview: Marc Benioff, Salesforce.com (CRM). Other stocks mentioned: Facebook (FB), Vodafone (VOD)

Cramer called Salesforce.com (CRM) the "Facebook for Enterprise," and it has the best growth of any tech stock. The company reported a quarter that beat numbers on every metric, with a 38% increase in revenue and operating cash flow up 53% year over year. While Europe seems to be the root of many companies' evils, CEO Marc Benioff said that business was strong in Europe, particularly the U.K. where it completed a deal with the Royal Mail post office and Vodafone (VOD). Japan was also strong. Salesforce.com is a revolutionary tech company that pioneered cloud computing. Benioff discussed another revolutionary company, Facebook, and believes there is very strong fundamental growth ahead for FB; "We've never had an application like this. It

Editor's Note: There were no bullish calls on Thursday's Lightning Round.

Bearish Calls:

Intuit (INTU): "It is a great franchise. I don't like to buy it after tax season, because there is no catalyst. Don't buy."

Oshkosh (OSK): "Governments are cutting back on buying equipment. I don't want to buy the stock."

Canadian Pacific (CP): "I don't like the rails because they ship many things that involve oil, and oil is going lower, and of course (they ship) coal. I want you to ring the register."

Schlumberger (SLB), Apache (APA), Occidental Petroleum (OXY), Joy Global (JOY), Freeport McMoRan (FCX)

Commodities and oil are getting hit hard, but are stocks in this sector low enough to buy? Cramer discussed the analysis of Carolyn Boroden of FibonacciQueen.com. In a word, the charts of most oil stocks are horrible and are not going to get better. Schlumberger (SLB), Apache (APA) and Occidental Petroleum (OXY) are making lower highs and lower lows and are below their 50 day and 200 day moving averages. Unless SLB can break out above $76, 10 points from where it is right now, it could fall 26% to $47.72. Apache needs to break out above $98, or 16 points above its current level, or it could drop 20 points

Bullish Calls:

VirnetX Holding Corporation (VHC): "The greatest spec of all time...or at least since our show began. It keeps winning battles and lawsuits. Even though it is a lawsuit patent name, it can go higher. It trades radically."

Las Vegas Sands (LVS): "I prefer Las Vegas Sands (to MGM)."

PepsiCo (PEP): "I don't want you to sell. There is a big turnaround. I am telling you to hold on. You can see higher prices now that commodities are coming down."

McDonald's (MCD): "Someone downgraded it and it didn't go down...ordinarily, I'd say buy it, but it was an informed downgrade...let's wait and see if we can get it between a 3% and 3.5% yield."

Tractor Supply Company (TSCO): "Someone is going to say this should be sold....we are going to take this down to $92-93 as a place to buy. Not right here."

No Buy Zone For Facebook (FB), Zillow (Z), Jive (JIVE), Linkedin (LNKD)

It has been announced that the Facebook IPO will be priced 14% higher than anticipated, to over $38. A huge pop on Friday is a foregone conclusion, since recent social media IPOs jumped an average of 42% the first day. While Cramer urges investors to get in on the FB deal and buy as many shares as possible, he calls Friday a "No Buy Zone" for Facebook. Even if the stock falls dramatically from its initial pop on Friday, there will be a better time to buy it than Friday. Cramer discussed other social media IPOs that have worked as long-term investments: Zillow , Jive and LinkedIn. Investors who were patient and waited for a lower entry point in ensuing weeks and

CEO Interview: Bob Iger, Disney (DIS)

Following the disappointment of John Carter, Disney (DIS) has gotten revenge against bearish statements with The Avengers, a success that demonstrates the power of a great acquisition, namely Disney's merger with Marvel. "The Avengers exceeded our expectations," explained CEO Bob Iger. "...We are fortunate to have Marvel, which is a great brand and a great franchise with great people." The Avengers, which will inspire a sequel, a TV series and eventually a theme park ride, will give Disney earnings visibility for years. Disney is firing on all cylinders with the success of its theme parks and cruises. The domestic business is strong, "Europe is a little bit softer, Asia is on fire," especially the parks in Hong Kong and Japan. When asked about the viability of television advertising

Hercules Offshore (HERO): "This is a dicey stock, but as long as you consider it as spec...these are stocks where you are rolling the dice on oil going higher. They are long-term calls on oil."

Prudential (PRU): "If it gets hit on the disappointment from JPMorgan tomorrow, it might be a buy. But it doesn't have the kind of yield protection you need...it's at 2.8%...4% is better...but I like it more than I liked it at $60."

Hewlett-Packard (HPQ): "Wow, I don't like that stock at all. I think it could go much lower. I haven't liked it for a long time."
