NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say about some of the stocks that callers offered up during the "Mad Money Lightning Round" Monday evening.

American Express (AXP Quote): "This stock remains on fire. It's an incredibly well-run company that's the best way to play the return of high-end retail."

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN Quote): "I'd play this one only as a spec, but even then there are stocks I like more, like Targacept (TRGT Quote) or Allos Therapeutics (ALTH Quote)."

Motorola (MOT Quote): "I'm not going to put you in a second-class company. You stay with Apple (AAPL Quote). "

Alcon (ACL Quote): "I am very concerned about the majority shareholder in this one. I'm going to say don't buy."

MetroPCS Communications (PCS Quote): "This looks like a good value story, but they're seen as unreliable. I can't recommend it based on their credibility."

Frontline (FRO Quote): "I don't know why you'd want to be in this one. This is not a stock for beginners. "

Beckman Coulter (BEC Quote): "People think they overpaid and I agree. I'd steer you to Becton Dickinson (BDX Quote). "
