Here's what Jim Cramer had to say about some of the stocks that callers offered up during the "Mad Money Lightning Round" Wednesday evening:

Amsouth Bancorp: "We are not arbitragers. ... Let's move on to the next, which I think is Hudson City Bancorp."

Evergreen Solar: "If I were to recommend one sunshine play, it would be Evergreen."

UnitedHealth: "It is still dirt cheap. It's at 17 times earnings. I'm still saying UNH is a buy."

Cummins: "I am going out right here right now with a sell."

Scientific Games: "Great, great recession-proof business. I would do a 'mon back* at 34."

UST: "I nailed that stock. ... US Tobacco is one of the safest, best stocks. ... I think the stock goes to 60. ... The tobacco business, two thumbs up." Cramer also recommended Altria, which he owns for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust, and Reynolds.

Acacia Research: "I want to give you Symantec."

PW Eagle: "I like the polyvinyl chloride business. ... Much unknown stock that should be bought."

JDSU: "Now it is Just Don't Stink Us. ... I liked you once, now I give you the trap door."

BE Aerospace: "May be the best aerospace play still out there."

Arch Coal: "I can't go down to Arch Coal until BTU (Peabody Energy) settles. I'm saying no to that one. Thumbs down."

Shire Pharmaceuticals: "One of my favorite drug companies. ... I think in this slowing economy, Shire could go through 52."

Carnival: "I feel that that group is too levered to discretionary spending. I'd rather have Procter & Gamble here than Carnival."

L3 Communications: "I'm going to recommend ... Textron."

Tata Motors: "At 15 bucks, frankly, I'm calling that a steal."
