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:

Bucyrus International (BUCY - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): The recent selling of Caterpillar(CAT - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), another mining-equipment manufacturer, "is misplaced," said Cramer. "These companies sell 'round the world. ... So I say ... buy BUCY down here."

Amgen (AMGN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I still think there's another 3 or 4 downside points to Amgen. ... Might I add that I don't like Johnson & Johnson (JNJ - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), either. ... I like Celgene (CELG - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr). ... It's at 64. I think it goes to 74."

Fuel Tech (FTEK - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "This is a speculative stock, but it is speculative Friday, so I will endorse it.'

Infineon Technologies (IFX - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) is one of the "second-rate tech companies," Cramer said. "We recommend Texas Instruments (TXN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) or Qualcomm (QCOM - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) ... but we don't like the semiconductor group."

Penn Virginia(PVA - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "This is an oil and gas exploratory company, and I like the sector so much ... but I think that it's better to go with the drillers. ... King Hal (Halliburton(HAL - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), that's what I want you in." Cramer owns Halliburton for Action Alerts PLUS, his charitable trust.

Anheuser-Busch (BUD - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "They've got real major problems. ... Their numbers are high. ... I'm going to send you to TAP (Molson Coors(TAP - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr)). ... I prefer Pepsi(PEP - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and Coke(KO - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr)."

Edison International (EIX - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "One of the great utilities. ... It is at a 52-week high. ... Let's take a little off the table and let the rest run."

Comtech Telecommunications (CMTL - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I've been looking at this stock for a long time, and it just goes up and up. ... It escapes me why this stock" keeps going higher, Cramer said. "Ring the register."

Rayonier (RYN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I'd rather be in Weyerhaeuser (WY - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr). ... I'm not gonna jump up and down about it."

Disney (DIS - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): CEO "Bob Iger has done a remarkable job. I think people who didn't like that quarter, I think they're nuts. ... I'm sticking with Iger. I think the stock is an up stock. ... McDonald's (MCD - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and Disney are my two favorite stocks to buy for kids."

Cramer was also bullish on Gilead Sciences (GILD - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), Textron (TXT - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), L-3 Communications (LLL - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), Lockheed Martin (LMT - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and Raytheon (RTN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr).

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