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" Wednesday evening:

Sirenza Microdevices (SMDI): "We recommended that in the midsingle digits ... sold it in the teens, and we never looked back ... radio frequency for the Sirius Satellites(SIRI) of the world. ... Sell Sirenza Micro and never look back."

Dell(DELL): "You don't sell any of these PC stocks ahead of Vista launch. ... Only PC stock you should own is Hewlett-Packard(HPQ)," Cramer said.

Brocade(BRCD): "I'd do a little schnitzeling [selling] right here ... nice run, time to move on."

eBay(EBAY): "I genuinely think that eBay is a good stock. ... They're buying StubHub, which I think is a brilliant acquisition. I'm not backing away. I'm backing the truck* up."

RTI International Metals(ATI): "I would schnitzel out of RTI and go into ATI (Allegheny Technologies(ATI)). ... Those of you still looking for a new name, Allegheny has pulled back 10."

Boston Scientific(BSX): "Ever since we recommended it a dollar ago, it's on a slow creep up. I think it goes to 20 bucks."

Anadigics (ANAD): "Ixnay on radio frequency."

Boeing(BA): "I want to continue to buy Boeing until it gets to par."

Google(GOOG): "Twenty points away from Nirvanaville. ... This company's gonna have a good quarter. I want to own the stock under 500."

Atherogenics(AGIX): "Let's get the whole speech they gave at JPMorgan [Healthcare Conference] and come up with a better analysis."

Citigroup(C): "Still run by a lawyer. We don't really care for banks that are run by lawyers. ... Let's cut it back a little."

Lundin Mining(LMC): "I have to admit, I hurt people in that one. ... Zinc and copper have been going down. ... Commodities are in free fall. ... Give it a little room and then buy."

AMD(AMD): "AMD's cheap. ... I want to own AMD ahead of the Microsoft Vista launch."

Allergan(AGN): "Allergan's got Juviderm ... Botox ... I need you ... to buy Allergan."

Cramer also was bullish on Blockbuster (BBI), Rite Aid (RAD), Crown Castle (CCI) and Cisco (CSCO).

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