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:

Intuitive Surgical (ISRG Quote - Cramer on ISRG - Stock Picks): "I am a fan of Intuitive Surgical until something else comes along . ... This is one of my tech stocks that should finish at the end of the year ... higher than it is."

Force Protection (FRPT Quote - Cramer on FRPT - Stock Picks): "It's not working. ... I prefer Textron (TXT Quote - Cramer on TXT - Stock Picks). ... Your thing is too just limited. ... It's too dangerous. ... It's been cut by -- three thirds almost!"

U.S. Airways (LCC Quote - Cramer on LCC - Stock Picks): "We don't recommend many airlines on the show, but we're certainly won't be recommending that one. Our forecast is 100 bucks for oil and pain for U.S. Air."

Siemens (SI Quote - Cramer on SI - Stock Picks): "I like the German stocks. ... Germany is a much better market than us. ... They are so much more fiscally responsible. ... Siemens remains one of my absolute favorite companies worldwide."

Cognizant (CTSH Quote - Cramer on CTSH - Stock Picks): "Consulting company. ... The India market is way too hot for me. It's just vastly overheated. There's also a lot of hedge funds in this stock. ... Danger. ... Don'tBuy."

Syngenta (SYT Quote - Cramer on SYT - Stock Picks): "You're in a great stock. You're part of the great agricultural boom. ... Europeans don't like genetically modified seeds unless they're made in Europe. That's the case for Syngenta."

Solarfun (SOLF Quote - Cramer on SOLF - Stock Picks): "This must be some party in Solarfun. ... I like Sunpower (SPWR Quote - Cramer on SPWR - Stock Picks) more, and best in show, I still like First Solar (FSLR Quote - Cramer on FSLR - Stock Picks)."

Cisco (CSCO Quote - Cramer on CSCO - Stock Picks): "I pulled up with two Cisco presentations ... these were brilliant presentations that refuted the notion that there was a slowdown in financial services. ... Let's pull the trigger."

Prepaid Legal (PPD Quote - Cramer on PPD - Stock Picks): "If I didn't like it, I would throw the flag for unsportsmanlike tally, [but] I would buy Prepaid."

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