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: "My range is $3.50 to $4.50. You're bumping up against the top of my range. I don't want to touch it. I don't want to touch XMSR either."

Pactiv: "You swap out of that one and go into Newell Rubbermaid ... more consistent growth." Cramer owns it for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.

AT&T: "I don't like ATT. I don't like Sprint. I don't like Verizon. To heck with that industry."

Alliant Tech: "I like that stock. ... One of the best defense contractors out there. I'm doing a 'mon back* below 70.

Caseys General: "I want to swap out of ... and go into Pantry."

Serologicals: "You stay in the Serologicals. ... And then next week you can do a little schnitzeling (selling)."

Rio Tinto: "That is just a terrific company. That along with BHP are the Whole Foods of the minerals business."

Adtran: "When this stock gets hot, you can own it, but when it's not hot, you gotta do a sell."

Shaw Group: "If we value companies by how many press releases they issue, that stock would be two thumbs up." Cramer offered Foster Wheeler and ABB instead, two from the charitable trust.

Merck: Cramer doesn't want to own Merck. "If you like Merck, you'll love Schering-Plug (Plough). You get all the upside of the cholesterol drug with none of the downside of the medication risk."

Volt: "Two thumbs up, way up. I want you to stick with Volt right through the week."

Basic Energy: "I think it's dramatically undervalued. ... I think Basic Energy at 26 lagged today with the whole group en fuego." Cramer said he would do a 'mon back.

Chicago Bridge: "Accounting irregularities equal sell. I want you ixnay CBI and toward Fluor and the Foster Wheeler."

Teva Pharma: "Merck has declared war on the generics. ... I think Teva bounces next week, and then you sell it."

Dell: "I'm still gonna send you out of Dell and into Hewlett-Packard."

RadioShack: "You come to me at the end of the Lightning Round with that nonsense?" Cramer offered Best Buy and Circuit City.
