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:

Mindray Medical(MR Quote): "We got a lotta companies that do the same things ... right here [in the U.S.]" Cramer said Thermo Fisher Scientific(TMO Quote) is better than Mindray.

Internap Network Services(INAP Quote): "It is time to to ring the register Internap!"

Intuitive Surgical(ISRG Quote): "I am not a technician. ... Don't even play one on TV. ... This stock has just acted like a wet blanket. Too rich for me. ... 35% growth, 50 multiple. I don't want to be in ISRG."

Marvell(MRVL Quote): "I think it's got 1 down, 5 up. ... They make the controllers for disk drives. ... I think it's six months before it explodes, but it will explode to the upside." Cramer owns it for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.

Amphenol(APH Quote): "A connector company. ... I have no catalyst to recommend Amphenol. So I am going to say Don'tBuyDon'tBuy."

Rio Tinto(RTP Quote): "The commodity boom is over. ... Only one [mining company] that I will still sanction is RIO (Companhia Vale do Rio (RIO Quote))."

Systemax(SYX Quote): "Had a really nice run. I am not gonna tell you that it is necessarily cheap. ... Only one I've been recommending" is Hewlett-Packard(HPQ Quote), which Cramer also owns for the charitable trust.

Peabody Energy(BTU Quote): Coal is plummeting. ... The Democrats ... they are not of, by and for the corporations. They are concerned with air."

USG(USG Quote): "Backstopped by Warren Buffett. If housing turns, it goes right to 65. ... I want to own it."

Community Bank System(CBU Quote): "Very cheap to book value ... 3.4% yield. ... I like this company."

Daktronics(DAKT Quote): "If you own an outdoor billboard company, you must contract with Daktronics to upgrade it."

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