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:

Hudson City Bancorp(HCBK Quote): "A really well-run savings and loan ... but with yield curve inverted, Don'tBuyDon'tBuy."

Monsanto(MON Quote): Bears and analysts don't understand that this is part of the ag play, Cramer said. They look at it too much as a chemical company. "Has hybrid corn seeds in a world in which we are short corn seeds. I would be an aggressive buyer right here at 59." Cramer has referred to Monsanto before as a biotech play.

Force Protection(FRPT Quote): "I am torn on this. ... I believe that Spartan(SPAR Quote) [a stock Cramer learned more about on his visit to Indiana University last week], which then gives the products to Force Protection, is a better play."

Veraz Networks(VRAZ Quote): "It is not working. It is worrisome to me. ... Better to admit that I'm wrong than to pretend that I'm right and have it keep going against us."

XM Satellie Radio(XMSR Quote): "Very problematic. ... I wanted the two to merge, but the FCC [Federal Communications Commission] is making it very difficult. The hope for Sirius(SIRI Quote) is that XM goes bankrupt. ... The FCC and Congress have made this deal too difficult. I want to SellSellSell XM Satellite."

"Crystallex(KRY Quote) has been creeping up ... I think in part because of the fantastic CNBC game. Buy on weakness, sell on strength." Cramer fears that one of the company's mines in Venezuela could be confiscated by President Hugo Chavez's government, which informs his approach to this stock.
