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" Monday evening:

Fluor (FLR Quote - Cramer on FLR - Stock Picks): "One of the great infrastructure plays in the world. Any pullback and I'm buying more. Fluor is a winner."

Quidel (QDEL Quote - Cramer on QDEL - Stock Picks): "I want to stick with this one. Diagnostics is where it's at. I'm not backing away from this one. It's a long-term play."

Perficient (PRFT Quote - Cramer on PRFT - Stock Picks): "This one does not have great earnings. I'm going to say "don't buy.""

Rite Aid (RAD Quote - Cramer on RAD - Stock Picks): "I didn't like the quarter. They're in the penalty box, I'm not a buyer of RiteAid, I'd go with CVS Caremark (CVS Quote - Cramer on CVS - Stock Picks)."

Whole Foods (WFMI Quote - Cramer on WFMI - Stock Picks): "It's a great place to shop, but it's not a good stock. It's overvalued and I'm not recommending it."

EMC (EMC Quote - Cramer on EMC - Stock Picks): "I own it for my charitable trust and I can't believe it's not going up more. They own VMware (VMW Quote - Cramer on VMW - Stock Picks) and I'm not backing away."

Hewlett-Packard (HPQ Quote - Cramer on HPQ - Stock Picks): "The real technology is in American manufacturing, but I do like Hewlett."

Gilead Sciences (GILD Quote - Cramer on GILD - Stock Picks): "Gilead is on a roll. It's my favorite biotech stock. I think it's a monster good company."

Marathon Oil (MRO Quote - Cramer on MRO - Stock Picks): "I can't believe this is being valued like just a refiner. They have so much going for them, I'm a buyer."

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