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:
Diebold (DBD Quote - Cramer on DBD - Stock Picks): "You have to sell. Once we get a bid, we take it off the table and start looking for the next one. Sell that one Monday morning."

France Telecom (FTE Quote - Cramer on FTE - Stock Picks): "I don't think you can go wrong with that one. I'd hold onto it."
Capstone Turbine (CPST Quote - Cramer on CPST - Stock Picks): "This one is an interesting speculation. It's gone up a lot, but I like it."
Exxon Mobil (XOM Quote - Cramer on XOM - Stock Picks): "Exxon is fine. Is it my favorite? No, but I'm never going to tell people to sell that one."
Gafisa (GFA Quote - Cramer on GFA - Stock Picks): "I want you to get back into this one. The whole country is expanding. Brazil is one of the most investable countries out there."
