Jim Cramer's Blunt Take On Icahn Enterprises: 'What A Mess'

On CNBC’s "Mad Money Lightning Round," Jim Cramer recommended buying Marathon Oil Corporation MRO. "I think it’s a very inexpensive stock," he added.

Enphase Energy, Inc. ENPH continues to go lower, Cramer said. "I think at this price it does seem very cheap. I don’t know."

When asked about Barrick Gold Corporation GOLD, he said, "Look, I think gold is an insurance company, it’s like asking me, 'is it a good time to buy car insurance.' I always want to own some gold."

The "Mad Money" host said Coherent Corp. COHR has a lot of different semiconductor-like components, but is not making money and he can’t recommend a stock that’s not making money.

When asked about Icahn Enterprises L.P. IEP, he said, "What a mess. I have no idea what it is, I have no idea how it makes its money. I just think it’s totally opaque. I say stay away."
