Lightning Round: Be careful, this is extended

CNBC. Jim Cramer issues a warning to callers that one stock is extended, and could have major competition.·CNBC

It's that time again! Jim Cramer rang the lightning round bell, which means he gave his take on caller favorite stocks at rapid speed:

Genuine Parts Company (NYSE: GPC): "It's such a good stock. I've been looking at Genuine Parts, what a run that it has had. I also like AutoZone, that is in the zone because our car population is about 12 years old. You've got a good one."

Consolidated Edison (NYSE: ED): "We have been liking ED for so long and it has bored people. And you know what I think about boredom? The best kind of stock. You've got a good one."

Taser International (NASDAQ: TASR): "I don't understand why Taser hasn't gone higher, and I am saying that under $20 it is a buy."

New York Community Bancorp (NYSE: NYCB): "I am not recommending any of the bank stocks here. They are just too difficult. My charitable trust owns Wells Fargo and that is tough to own. I cannot recommend New York Community, I'm sorry."

Franco Nevada (: FNV-CA): "It's had a good run, but I'm still going to send you to Randgold, symbol GOLD. Why? Because I like Dr. Mark Bristow [CEO]."

Valspar (NYSE: VAL): "I say ring the register because that deal might be blocked by federal regulators because there is so much concentration in the paint industry."

Alcoa (NYSE: AA): "I like it ahead of the break-up, and I'm going to like it after the break-up. Particularly the aerospace engineering portion of it. I think Alcoa is cheap, aluminum has come up a little bit. I think you're in a good one."

Nordic American Tanker (NYSE: NAT): "I think that the yield is safe, I think that the business is OK. But remember, they have a lot of ships and if the price comes down for day-rates you're not going to be able to make any money on that thing. But the dividend is safe right now."

Mobileye (NYSE: MBLY): "No, still too risky. Mobileye, it's a great company but the stock is too expensive."

Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG): "It's a great machine, I have seen it demonstrated ... I think it's terrific. That said, it has moved up a lot and I fear competition coming in at the year end from Johnson & Johnson. So let's be careful, I think the stock is extended."
