Lightning Round: It's dead money

It's that time again! The Lightning Round bell has rung, and Jim Cramer gives his take on a few favorite audience stocks:

Brocade Communications System: "Brocade's been working, it's amazing after being in the wilderness for so long. But I have to tell you, whenever I think of Brocade I always think of Cisco, and Cisco had a great meeting. I'm still a buyer of Chuck Robbins and Cisco."

Gentherm: "I like that stock. Don't forget now there's going to be consolidation in that industry, you saw perhaps that Johnson Controls is going to keep their HVAC business. Natural merger situation—I like what I hear."

BB&T Corp: "You know I like the regionals. I haven't seen Mr. King lately but I think BB&T is doing a great job. I also like Keycorp with Beth Mooney. Actually I have to tell you, I think Key is best of all. But BB&T is doing great."

Kythera Biopharmaceuticals: "It's worth a great deal if there is a takeover, if not the stock is going to go down. It makes it too hard for me to opine on."

Dreamworks Animation SKG: "I think it's dead money. I'm not going to tell you to buy anything that is dead money."
