TheStreet.com Staff

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

AMR(AMR Quote): "It's OK. I like Continental(CAL Quote) more."

BEA Systems(BEAS Quote): "I think this has got 52-week-high potential. Thirteen dollars going to 16. I am backing the truck* up B-E-A-S."

"Under Armour(UARM Quote) is a buy. It has great growth. ... Sells at 58 times earnings, that's a little expensive. I think that's the best management in the business. I like Under Armour."

VeriFone(PAY Quote): "This is a monster good stock." Cramer also threw in MasterCard(MA Quote). "I'm reloading because it's done going down."

Akamai(AKAM Quote): "Remember, Akamai means smart and clever in Hawaiian. ... Need it to make streaming video work." ... Cramer also threw in Level 3(LVLT Quote) because of the bandwidth shortage.

Cisco Systems(CSCO Quote): "You take a little off the table. ... Stock's going to 30, though."

Walt Disney(DIS Quote): "I still think that Bob Iger is the moneymaker. ... I think Disney is a slow grower on the way to 38. ... It's a good solid holding."

Ahold(AHO Quote): "I am not a fan of Ahold. I like Safeway(SWY Quote). ... I am doing work on Winn-Dixie(WNDXQ Quote), and I have not figured out whether to pull the trigger or not."

Tsakos Energy(TNP Quote): "TNP [the company's ticker] should mean Take No Prisoners. ... We had a very disappointing tanker number from another company ... you are up 22% year to date ... you, my friend, are ringing the register."

Odyssey Health Care(ODSY Quote): "No. Hospice services. ... I want to buy Humana(HUM Quote), and I want to buy Wellpoint(WLP Quote)."

America Movil(AMX Quote): "The single best play in Latin America."

Cramer also was bullish on Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI Quote) and Sysco (SYY Quote).

Cramer also was bearish on Sirenza Microdevices (SMDI Quote),

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