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

Baidu: "Yahoo! is a better way to play China. ... For once in my lifetime, I agree with Barron's!" Cramer owns Yahoo! for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.

Alliant Energy: "I want you to sell the Alliant and buy Con Edison."

Dynamic Materials: "One of these kinds of derivative aerospace plays. ... I'm telling you BOOM has had its day."

SunTech Power: "This is ... the best of breed of the alternative-power stocks. ... But the way it acts after its quarter ... tells me be careful out there! SellSellSell."

VeriFone Holdings: "He [CEO Douglas Bergeron] is money in the bank. We love that stock!"

Immucor: "This is a good company, and when I started the show, I mistakenly did not like these guys. It was my bad. ... Since then, I got my act together. That stock is a two-thumbs-up stock."

Freeport McMoRan: "That's not pain. You were up 2 bucks today. ... You can own that. Gets to 60."

Sirius Satellite Radio: I don't know what I'm gonna tell Mel (CEO Karmazin, when Cramer has breakfast with him tomorrow)."

MDU Resources: "You know I'm always gonna send you to Kinder Morgan."

Elan: "Time to go." Cramer hit the ring-the-register button.

BE Aerospace: I would actually want to buy BEA because aerospace is still in bull market mode. ... Makes the seating for airplanes. That's a red-hot business. BuyBuyBuy."

Brocade: "That Brocade quarter was a thing of beauty. ... That pullback [to 5.90] is worthy of a 'mon back*."

Finisar: "Part of my fiber-optic complex that has pulled back so much. ... I think Finisar is done going down."

Allegheny Tech: "Stock of the year goes from 30 to 66." ... But Cramer told someone at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles, where he was for his appearance on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" show: "Please, ring the register."
