Cramer's lightning round: Here's why Monster Beverage is a hold, not a sell
It's that time again! Jim Cramer rang the lightning round bell, which means he gave his take on callers' favorite stocks at rapid speed: Monster Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: MNST) : "I think I'm just going to say 'hold' here, because on the PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP) call, they talked about the weakness in the convenience store section of their business and that would mean that Monster might be a tough hold here. Why am I not saying 'sell?' Because I really think Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) should buy them." Easterly Government Properties Inc. (NYSE: DEA) : "It's got a good yield. I think it's a safe yield. I think that the answer is yes [it's a buy], unless you think interest rates are going to skyrocket, and I don't." Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) : "Actually, ConEd (NYSE: ED) is better-in-breed and Dominion (NYSE: D) is, too. Actually, even American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP) , to be honest." General Electric Company (NYSE: GE) : "I am shocked. Jeff Bornstein, the CFO, is out there. A new CFO coming in, Jamie Miller. Things are happening so quickly there. My charitable trust owns GE. It's been a disaster. I like to call when they're good, so why not say when they're bad? Maybe this is a shake-up that's necessary." Gardner Denver Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GDI) : "No. I'm going to ask you not to [buy]. I'm a believer that oil stops at $50 and therefore you're not going to be in that. It's a better sell than a buy."
