Here's what Jim Cramer had to say about some of the stocks that callers offered up during the "Mad Money Lightning Round" Friday evening:

Build-A-Bear(BBW Quote): "You, my friend ... you are right. Build-A-Bear has got the mojo going into Christmas."

"Manulife Financial(MFC Quote) is best of breed."

Medarex(MEDX Quote): "C'mon, you're preaching to the converted ... antibody-based therapeutics to fight cancer. Nothing wrong with that story."

JPMorgan Chase(JPM Quote): "That stock is sleepwalking between 45 and 48. ... The yield's good ... I'd like to see you in Goldman Sachs." Cramer has Goldman in his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.

Federated Department Stores(FD Quote): "I think the stock should have moved. ... I think Federated is going to deliver a good Christmas. It belongs up there with J.C. Penney (JCP Quote) and Kohl's(KSS Quote). Pull the trigger. There should be great pin action with the department stores alone."

MasterCard(MA Quote): "How long have I been telling people to back the truck* up on MasterCard? ... I'm sticking by MasterCard. I think it goes even higher."

Valero Energy(VLO Quote): "You need to be concerned that that stock hasn't kept place with the other oils. Valero is a laggard. I want you in Chevron(CVX Quote). ... Secondarily, if you're more of a risk-taker, go with Devon(DVN Quote)."

Hain Celestial(HAIN Quote) is the natural way to play Whole Foods(WFMI Quote), which I no longer really like."

L-1 Identity(ID Quote): "This is a very good homeland security company."

Cramer also was bearish on La-Z-Boy (LZB Quote) and Bank of America (BAC Quote),

*For all you home-gamers, a 'mon-back opportunity means Cramer would back up the figurative truck and load up on a stock.
