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" Monday evening:

Lockheed Martin(LMT Quote): "You cannot stop defense stocks. General Dynamics(GD Quote), Northrop Grumman(NOC Quote), LLL (L-3). The best right here right now is Lockheed Martin."

Brocade(BRCD Quote): "I'm worried about Brocade. I want to know if this company is fully recovered. I like the long-term story, but I am not giving you a buyout."

Boeing(BA Quote): "After the close, 17% dividend boost. Is there anything this company doesn't do? ... I think that Boeing is going to par [$100 a share] ... Big orders. ... That is one of my favorite companies in the Dow."

Panacos Pharmaceuticals(PANC Quote): "I cannot bless a company that has no revenue and no earnings."

NYSE Group(NYX Quote): "No one is championing this stock except for me. I am all alone. Could it go to 200? Mark my words, I think it will."

Advanced Micro Devices(AMD Quote): "I so much want to get behind Advanced Micro. ... They are in a price war. And in a price war, nobody wins. Intel(INTC Quote) and AMD have thin margins. Don'tBuyDon'tBuy."

DivX(DIVX Quote): "Son of Akamai(AKAM Quote). It's like Gandhi II. ... I'm not dissuaded by the fact that it's near its 52-week high."

Disney(DIS Quote) and Coldwater Creek(CWTR Quote): "Back up the truck*, Coldwater. ... Disney inching its way up to 38, but I think it goes higher."

Arris Group(ARRS Quote): "We know that companies that help broadband become more like cable" and eventually they'll be "in like Flint," Cramer said.

BEA Systems(BEAS Quote): "We're gonna wake up one day, and BEAS is gonna be appreciably higher. ... It is obviously hurt by the options ugly stick. ... That is a legitimate software-transaction platform, which Cramer said could eventually be purchased by Oracle(ORCL Quote).

VeriSign(VRSN Quote): "You wait till it goes back to 22, 23, and then you buy a little more."

Sun Microsystems(SUNW Quote): "This is just one of those stocks that was way too high, went down a lot and is now just trying to find itself. ... In other words, stay away."

Phelps Dodge(PD Quote): "This stock should be bought. ... There's another 20 points."

Hansen Natural(HANS Quote): "I still do not care for it. Why not take the money off the table? I think it's a played-out story."

Verizon(VZ Quote) "A good, cheap stock and a good dividend."

NY Community Bancorp(NYB Quote): "I don't like that stock because of the yield curve. ... I don't think you should buy NYB."

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