'Mad Money' Lightning Round: Let's Get Sirius

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:

Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI Quote - Cramer on SIRI - Stock Picks): "The FCC has to approve this deal ... and if they do, you've got yourself a $5 stock."

Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM Quote - Cramer on AEM - Stock Picks): "Gold has come down huge and I keep buying more and more. I'm buying Yamana Gold (AUY Quote - Cramer on AUY - Stock Picks) and Agnico. People should have a gold stock in their portfolio."

Energy Conversion Devices (ENER Quote - Cramer on ENER - Stock Picks): "I gotta tell you, that's the wrong solar play. You want First Solar (FSLR Quote - Cramer on FSLR - Stock Picks). There's room for First solar in the pantheon of alternative energy."

ING Group (ING Quote - Cramer on ING - Stock Picks): "No, they're a decent bank, but I'm not a buyer of that one. I like Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK Quote - Cramer on HCBK - Stock Picks) and I've been riding that one."

Sirtris Pharmaceuticals (SIRT Quote - Cramer on SIRT - Stock Picks): "No, no, you have to ring the register on that one. "

South Financial Group (TSFG Quote - Cramer on TSFG - Stock Picks): "This is another stinky financial. No, no and I'm saying no again. No, and that's it."

Corrections Corp. of America (CXW Quote - Cramer on CXW - Stock Picks): "I'm worried about this one. They've had a spotty record and I don't trust them. They're in a good business, but their execution has been bad."

Urban Outfitters (URBN Quote - Cramer on URBN - Stock Picks): "I like Urban. I like TJX (TJX Quote - Cramer on TJX - Stock Picks), Wal-Mart (WMT Quote - Cramer on WMT - Stock Picks) and Costco (COST Quote - Cramer on COST - Stock Picks) too. Those are my four favorite retailers."

Microsoft (MSFT Quote - Cramer on MSFT - Stock Picks): "Disappointing. I'm a big Steve Ballmer fan, but the PC business is not hot. Sell Microsoft and buy some Apple (AAPL Quote - Cramer on AAPL - Stock Picks)."

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