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:

Sunoco (SUN Quote - Cramer on SUN - Stock Picks): "I have a real problem with Sunoco and the refiners. The margins are just going down; I cannot recommend them. I'll give you Marathon Oil (MRO Quote - Cramer on MRO - Stock Picks) but that's it for that sector."

Juniper Networks (JNPR Quote - Cramer on JNPR - Stock Picks): "I'm not a fan of Juniper. They're going head to head with Cisco Systems (CSCO Quote - Cramer on CSCO - Stock Picks) and that makes it a sell, sell, sell.

I'm only recommending Apple (AAPL Quote - Cramer on AAPL - Stock Picks) and Intel (INTC Quote - Cramer on INTC - Stock Picks)."

Commscope (CTV Quote - Cramer on CTV - Stock Picks): "Oh jeez, I'm sorry, there are too many players in that game. That one's a sell, sell, sell."

Genentech (DNA Quote - Cramer on DNA - Stock Picks): "This is a tough one. They have a great drug, but it's not getting the approvals it needs. That group is too hard right now."

Gencor Industries (GENC Quote - Cramer on GENC - Stock Picks): "This is a surprising company. It's got a lot of things in it. You've got a winner there."

Sunpower (SPWR Quote - Cramer on SPWR - Stock Picks): "No, no, we are not fans of any traditional solar plays. We are only recommending First Solar (FSLR Quote - Cramer on FSLR - Stock Picks) and Applied Materials (AMAT Quote - Cramer on AMAT - Stock Picks) for its solar division."

OraSure Technologies Inc (OSUR Quote - Cramer on OSUR - Stock Picks): "No, no, no, that was one of the worst quarters I've ever seen. You have to sell that one, that's just terrible."

Energy Conversion Devices (ENER Quote - Cramer on ENER - Stock Picks): "That one has been on a roll, but hogs get slaughtered. You've got to sell that one and take your profits."

Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB Quote - Cramer on FITB - Stock Picks): "I don't trust their dividend. It used to be one of the premier banks out there and I just don't trust it anymore. I'm a seller."

Farm & Construction Machinery (GTE Quote - Cramer on GTE - Stock Picks): "Oh boy, that's a problematic security. I'm going to recommend you swap out of that one for XTO Energy (XTO Quote - Cramer on XTO - Stock Picks) or Devon Energy (DVN Quote - Cramer on DVN - Stock Picks) or Nabors Industries (NBR Quote - Cramer on NBR - Stock Picks). Any of those is better."

Norfolk Southern (NSC Quote - Cramer on NSC - Stock Picks): "Listen pal, you can't go wrong owning a railroad. I like CSX Corp (CSX Quote - Cramer on CSX - Stock Picks) No. 1, Union Pacific (UNP Quote - Cramer on UNP - Stock Picks) No. 2, then I like Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNI Quote - Cramer on BNI - Stock Picks), and only then will I recommend yours."

Intrepid Potash (IPI Quote - Cramer on IPI - Stock Picks): "That's a tough one. I like Potash (POT Quote - Cramer on POT - Stock Picks) more than I like yours. "

Mellanox Technologies (MLNX Quote - Cramer on MLNX - Stock Picks): "We looked at this one, but we didn't find anything that compelling. Pull the trigger on Ormat Technologies (ORA Quote - Cramer on ORA - Stock Picks) on Monday."
