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:

Greif(GEF Quote): "The kind of company that looks so much like it could be taken out in a private-equity deal. ... But, I can't recommend that at its 52-week high. You need a pullback before you can back the truck* up. It is very thinly traded."

Alvarion(ALVR Quote): "You know I want the [Craig] McCaw Wi-Max play [Clearwire]."

Boston Scientific(BSX Quote): "Here it is at 16 and change. I am warming up, but I am not ready to pull the trigger. Don'tBuyDon'tBuy."

Noble Energy(NBL Quote): "You know I like the independent oil and gas companies. ... This one is so well-run. ... This company is rocking. ... I believe that the better buys right now are in the oil drillers." GlobalSantaFe(GSF Quote) and Transcoean(RIG Quote) are two that Cramer likes. He owns the latter for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust. "This group is so cheap, based on the contracts and the escalating day rates."

McDonald's(MCD Quote): "You know McDonald's is my favorite. ... A darn-clean filling station. I'll even take the trans-fat out [of the fries] and still eat them."

"NetScout Systems(NTCT Quote) is not my favorite here."

Moody's(MCO Quote) is not as good as McGraw-Hill(MHP Quote) [which has a] more diversified business. I support the idea of Moody's, but not as much as McGraw-Hill."

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