Jim Cramer Advises His Viewers on HSBC, TJX Companies And More

On CNBC's "Mad Money Lightning Round", Jim Cramer said that HSBC Holdings plc (ADR) HSBC is too complicated and too hard to understand. He would rather own JPMorgan Chase & Co. JPM and Citigroup Inc C.

TJX Companies Inc TJX is the largest position in Cramer's charitable trust. He said the chart looks awful, but the business is good. Cramer would wait for the stock to hit $68, before he buys it.

Genworth Financial Inc GNW has balance sheet issues and Cramer thinks it would be wise to stay away from the stock.

Instead of Quantenna Communications Inc QTNA, Cramer would rather buy Broadcom Ltd AVGO.

Metlife Inc MET is a well-run company, said Cramer. The stock reached its 52-week high Thursday and he would wait for a pull back.

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp CTSH is a terrific story, thinks Cramer.

EXACT Sciences Corporation EXAS is a good company and the sales for the colorectal product are unbelievable, believes Cramer.

Stericycle Inc SRCL had to many acquisitions and it is not working, said Cramer. He would rather own UnitedHealth Group Inc UNH.
