Here’s what Jim Cramer had to say about some of the stocks that callers offered up during the “Mad Money Lightning Round” Friday evening:
Disney (DIS) : “Was a good quarter. … I am staying bullish on Disney. Iger is doing a great job. Do not be perturbed that stock didn’t go up after that great quarter.”
Finish Line (FINL) : “I need you to make the change right now and get into Nike (NKE) , and get out of Finish Line. … A little Under Armour (UA) wouldn’t be so bad.”
Whole Foods (WFMI) : I like Safeway (SWY) in that department. … Whole Foods too risky.”
Caremark (CMX) : I think that CVS (CVS) is going to raise its bid for Caremark. … If you own Caremark, you will get a higher bid from CVS next week. … Then you ring the register. You swap out of the Caremark, and then go right into the ESRX (Express Scripts (ESRX) , which Cramer owns for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.
RBC Bearings (ROLL) : “You, my friend, have a winner. The ball-bearing business is a terrific business. … Great pin action off of most of every piece of machinery that is built in this country.”
Avis Budget Group (CAR) : “I still think that Avis is good. I also like Auto Nation (AN) .”
IAC/InterActiveCorp (IACI) : “Man what a great quarter. Wall Street hated the quarter. I don’t know why … buying back stock hand-over-fist … I don’t know when they’re gonna get the respect on Wall Street, but they got it on Main Street. That stock is headed to the mid-40s.”
Harley-Davidson (HOG) : “The bears are all over it. … I think at 65 we pull the trigger again. That is a good brand name. It’s not expensive.”
Home Inns & Hotels (HMIN) : “This is a combination of two trends that are unbelievable: budget hotels and China hotels.” But Cramer said: “I want you to cut that position in half right now.” In other words, take some profits.
IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) : “Iceman’s darn good, and I got nothing against it. … I am a big believer in ICE. I like all the exchange stocks, but ICE I’m blessing right here right now.”

Dollar inches up »LONDON: The dollar inched ahead against the euro here yesterday despite a fall in US consumer prices that dampened prospects for an interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve. The US currency suffered a minor wobble after it was revealed that inflation as measured by the consumer price index fell 0.5% in October while the core rate, which excludes energy and food, rose just 0.1%. Both figures were below expectations on Wall Street, where analysts had been expecting a 0.3% drop in the headline...
