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" Friday evening:

Nymex Holdings(NMX Quote): "This stock does nothing but go up. ... Stick with it."

1-800-Flowers.com(FLWS Quote): "It doesn't deserve to be owned. We're ixnaying."

Wesco(WCC Quote): "Did you see the explosion in that stock this week off the quarter? ... Still very, very cheap. I am recommending it heartily."

Sirius(SIRI Quote): "You know that stock ain't going anywhere. ... I want you to sell it nine ways to Super Bowl Sunday. "

Chevron(CVX Quote): Holy cow! ... I look for the dividend to go up. I look for another buyback. I think you should back up the truck*. That's my favorite integrated oil."

Medarex(MEDX Quote): "This is precisely what I'm railing against at this juncture." Cramer said you're better off with Amgen(DNA Quote) under 70 ... DNA (Genentech(DNA Quote)) at 87 ... Celgene(CELG Quote) at 55.

Hewlett-Packard(HPQ Quote) is not just a PC assembler ... this is a technology company, run by Mark Hurd, who I think is the best. ... I need you to load up the boat, Hewlett-Pacakrd, that's best in show." Cramer owns it for Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.

Valero Energy(VLO Quote): "Not bad. ... it's a cheap stock. ... If I want to refine these days, I'm gonna refine soybean or corn. I'm buying Archer Daniels Midland(ADM Quote) or I'm buying Bunge." Cramer says Valero is range-bound.

Illumina(ILMN Quote): "Not a good quarter. Expenses are going to rise. ... I need you out of that stock, and I want you to sell it right now."

Force Protection(FRPT Quote): "I think you need to go with the majors here." Cramer said those would be L-3 Communications Holdings(LLL Quote), General Dynamics(GD Quote) and Raytheon(RTN Quote).

Cramer also was bullish on Grainger (GWW Quote), Devon Energy (DVN Quote) and Armor Holdings (AH Quote).

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