Jim Cramer Shares His Thoughts On Southern Co, Acacia Communications, National-Oilwell Varco, Twilio And Range Resources

Jim Cramer said in the segment of CNBC's Mad Money called "Lightning Round" that instead of buying Southern Co SO, he would rather buy American Electric Power Company Inc AEP. Southern Co is his least favorite utility stock and he wouldn't buy it.

Buying Acacia Communications, Inc. ACIA is like rolling dice, thinks Cramer. He would buy Cisco Systems, Inc. CSCO because it's a lower risk stock.

Cramer likes National-Oilwell Varco, Inc. NOV on an earnings basis and as a potential takeover target. He believes General Electric Company GE should buy National-Oilwell Varco.

Twilio Inc TWLO is a good buy for young investors, believes Cramer. He thinks it's a good speculative stock.

Cramer advised his viewer to buy Chesapeake Energy Corporation CHK, because young investors should choose a more speculative stock than Range Resources Corp. RRC. He added that Range Resources is a good stock.
