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:

Altria (MO Quote): "I'd buy more. It yields 4%, the road show just started, I want to load up the boat on this one. This is my largest position in my (charitable) trust and I wish it was even bigger."

Goldman Sachs (GS Quote): "I own this one for my charitable trust. But the brokerage industry is under attack, so I'm going to tell you to "don't buy" until it hits $150."

Berry Petroleum (BRY Quote): "I know this company, I think it's a great oil producer. It's exactly the kind of stock I want to own here."

Flextronics (FLEX Quote): "I like this stock, I still think it's cheap, but understand that it's a difficult tech market. "

Allegheny Technologies (ATI Quote): "I am not going to get into this complex. I'd rather be in United States Steel (X Quote)."

Omniture (OMTR Quote): "The market is too hard for tech, we do not like tech here... period, end of story."

VMware (VMW Quote): "No, no, no. This is a high multiple stock that disappointed. I've been owning EMC (EMC Quote) and it's been a dog. EMC is cheaper, I'd go there."

Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY Quote): "There's very little upside here. I am just on the fence. Unless they get a takeover bid, there's just nothing here."

Delta Air Lines (DAL Quote): "Listen up, never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever own an airline stock."

VeriFone (PAY Quote): "The important thing here is that this company's financials were a sham. Accounting irregularities equals SELL!"

Service Corp Int'l (SCI Quote): "I do not think this is a baby-boom story. I don't see any reason to own this one. "

Nuance Communications (NUAN Quote): "Speech software is something I avoid. Say no to this one."

Cimarex Energy (XEC Quote): "This is the first stock I bought for my trust. This is a great oil and gas play, you've got a winner here. This is a terrific one."

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