Mad Money Lightning Round: Cramer Likes Mercer International

On CNBC's Mad Money, Jim Cramer said during the Lightning Round that Mercer International (NASDAQ: MERC) is a “winning stock."

For Carbo Ceramics (NYSE: CRR), he said, "I prefer Core Labs (NYSE: CLB) because it's more consistent."

Cramer said that he is “sticking with Cliffs Natural Resources (NYSE: CLF). I do not see a serious recession; I think that one's safe to buy."

For Hecla Mining (NYSE: HL), he said, "I don't like the silver miners. I have a hard enough time with gold miners. I'd buy the ETF if you want silver."

Cramer said that Alaska Communications Systems (NASDAQ: ALSK) is “just giving money away over there. I think it's better than Windstream (NASDAQ: WIN) and CenturyLink (NYSE: CTL)."

For Winn-Dixie Stores (NASDAQ: WINN), he said, "I don't like the supermarkets. I want you out of that one. I do like Whole Foods Markets (NASDAQ: WFM)."
