Jim Cramer Gives His Opinion On Valero, Blackstone, Expedia, Tripadvisor And Lendingtree

On CNBC's Mad Money, Jim Cramer said he doesn't want to buy Valero Energy Corporation VLO because margins for refiners are coming down. For investors that want yield, he recommends AT&T Inc. T and Verizon Communications Inc. VZ.

Blackstone Group LP BX has been under a lot of pressure, but that's going to pass, thinks Cramer. He wants to buy the stock.

Cramer is a buyer of Expedia Inc EXPE because it's so well run. If Tripadvisor Inc TRIP gets taken over, it will be a better buy.

Short interest in Lendingtree Inc TREE worries Cramer and he wants to study the stock a little bit more to try to find a reason for such a big short position.
