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:

Pacific Ethanol (PEIX - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I've gotta steer you away from that. ... I've been against that stock now for 10 straight points. ... I'm gonna give you Bunge (BG - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and Monsanto (MON - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr)."

Sirius Satellite (SIRI - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "We got positive on Sirius Satellite ... at $2.80. ... We've said it's going to go to four bucks, and the deal will get done."

Blockbuster (BBI - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "Just had a nice move, but I don't like the business model too much. ... I'm lukewarm on Blockbuster."

Palm (PALM - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I don't like Palm at all. I like the investors they have, but I don't like Palm. ... I like Research In Motion (RIMM - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr). Yes, I know it's up a lot. I don't care. It goes higher."

LDK Solar (LDK - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I have been working a lot on solar because oil's so high. ... I've been recommending MEMC(WFR - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr). ... I like First Solar (FSLR - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) very much, and I like Suntech Power Holdings (STP - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr)."

First Marblehead (FMD - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "No, just too hard. ... I don't know what their earnings are going to do. I just don't like it."

F5 Networks (FFIV - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "That last quarter wasn't that good. ... I see competition coming in. I'm going to send you from F5 to Omniture (OMTR - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), which is my favorite. ... That's your play."

Meridian Bioscience (VIVO - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I don't know, man. I think that's actually good biotech. And the reason I say that is because it's a diagnostics company. I think diagnostics companies are the wave of the future. I'm going with you." Cramer also likes Inverness Medical Innovations (IMA - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), which he owns for Action Alerts PLUS, his charitable trust.

Blue Coat Systems (BCSI - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "It's a good stock. ... This is a great growth company for many years. I think Blue Coat's a real winner. I've gotta go with it."

Trimble Navigation (TRMB - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I like Trimble, but we've got Garmin (GRMN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr). If we've got Garmin, we don't need to be in Trimble. I am seeing your Trimble and raising you Garmin."

Cnooc (CEO - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "The Chinese do like to split their stocks, but Baidu's(BIDU - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) been a great stock, and they haven't split it. ... I like Petrochina(PTR - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) more, but Buffett's been a seller. But Cnooc's a good company."

Central European Distribution (CEDC - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "This is one of the great alcohol distribution companies. ... Everybody listen up. That is a great stock. And I recommend it strongly."
