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:

Sun Microsystems(JAVA Quote - Cramer on JAVA - Stock Picks): "I like JAVA. I think it's turned the corner. I believe this is a slow grower, but it's still too cheap. I want you to ride JAVA to six and a quarter."

Potash(POT Quote - Cramer on POT - Stock Picks): "Someone spiked that stock at the end of the day. It was up a dollar. I'll give you my order: Agrium(AGU Quote - Cramer on AGU - Stock Picks), Mosaic(MOS Quote - Cramer on MOS - Stock Picks), then and only then is it your play [Potash] on fertilizer. Potash has moved too much."

Nuance Communications(NUAN Quote - Cramer on NUAN - Stock Picks): "I am not a speech-recognition guy. I've lost too much money in that group. ... Don'tBuyDon'tBuy."

Cheesecake Factory(CAKE Quote - Cramer on CAKE - Stock Picks): "I don't understand Cheesecake Factory. It's too cheap. They ought to raise their prices. ... The stock doesn't move. But I'm not giving up on it yet."

Rite Aid(RAD Quote - Cramer on RAD - Stock Picks): "I am giving [Rite Aid chairman, president and CEO] Mary Sammons one more quarter. ... That was brutal ... I feel it's become very unrequited. I am unhappy. I am giving everyone one more strike, but after that it's SellSellSell. CVS(CVS Quote - Cramer on CVS - Stock Picks) is much better."

China Mobile(CHL Quote - Cramer on CHL - Stock Picks): "I said China Mobile and Baidu.com (BIDU Quote - Cramer on BIDU - Stock Picks) are both plays to work. ... I still like Baidu. I still like China Mobile."

VF Corp.(VFC Quote - Cramer on VFC - Stock Picks): "I think that this is one of the better names in the group. I'm not moving away from Mackey [Mackey J. McDonald, Chairman and CEO]. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt."

Western Refining(WNR Quote - Cramer on WNR - Stock Picks): "Refining stocks have come down a lot. ... I think that means you should be in Valero(VLO Quote - Cramer on VLO - Stock Picks). I am not coming down the food chain to Western. I'd rather own Valero. I'd rather own Sunoco(SUN Quote - Cramer on SUN - Stock Picks)."

Energy Conversion Devices(ENER Quote - Cramer on ENER - Stock Picks): "You got a loser there. The only one in the alternative energy field I'm endorsing is First Solar(FSLR Quote - Cramer on FSLR - Stock Picks)."

Lockheed Martin(LMT Quote - Cramer on LMT - Stock Picks): "Yesterday I'm jumping up and down ... LMT announces a gigunda buyback. ... Everyone yawns. Stop yawning, start buying. Lockheed is going higher."

Starbucks(SBUX Quote - Cramer on SBUX - Stock Picks): "They're moving in a lot of food. The margins for food are bad. ... I think Starbucks is a Don'tBuyDon'tBuy."

Marvell(MRVL Quote - Cramer on MRVL - Stock Picks): "Eh! Man, I'll tell you something. How much money have I lost on that one? That one is off the rails. It's off the reservation. I don't want that anywhere near Cramerica. That one is toxic."

First Horizon National(FHN Quote - Cramer on FHN - Stock Picks): "Cheap bank stock. Very cheap bank stock. I like that. ... I think I would like to buy First Horizon. But I would like to see two more rate cuts first."

Coeur d'Alene Mines(CDE Quote - Cramer on CDE - Stock Picks): "That is one of the worst of the mining companies. I like Barrick(ABX Quote - Cramer on ABX - Stock Picks), I like Yamana(AUY Quote - Cramer on AUY - Stock Picks). And if you really need silver, I'm sending you to Pan American Silver (PAAS Quote - Cramer on PAAS - Stock Picks)."

DivX (DIVX Quote - Cramer on DIVX - Stock Picks):"Ixnay on the Divx. Come on, man, we bought it in the teens, we sold it in the 20s. Now it's all the way back. Don'tBuyDon'tBuy."

GameStop (GME Quote - Cramer on GME - Stock Picks): "I said take profits. I want the stock lower. ... GameStop under 55, I'm gonna pull the trigger."

Exxon Mobil (XOM Quote - Cramer on XOM - Stock Picks): "We couldn't take it anymore. In the high 60s and low 70s, we couldn't take it anymore."

Haynes (HAYN Quote - Cramer on HAYN - Stock Picks): "I don't like that. I don't like that. I should have rung the register in Haynes. I think Haynes is played out. We made the money. I don't want to stick with Haynes."
