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:

Goldman Sachs GS: "I think that Goldman Sachs has been bottoming between $160 and $175. I have tremendous faith that that bottom is going to hold. If it goes back down there, I want you to buy." Cramer said CEO Lloyd Blankfein is "a great man, and I am trusting him to deliver a great number next year." Cramer owns Goldman Sachs for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS.

OraSure Technologies OSUR: "Too risky. ... A not-great diagnostic play. ... I've got Inverness Med IMA, which is down 10 points. Nobody likes it. ... I've been buying it for the trust. I say swap out of your OraSure and get into my Inverness."

Whole Foods Market WFMI: "I am very pro the merger. I am not pro the valuation. The stock is too rich. ... On 'Mad Money,' we never buy stocks with price-to-earnings multiples that are twice the growth rate."

Deutsche Telekom DT: "I wish that I had pulled the trigger at $15. I felt that it was so right. ... So I missed a couple of smackers. It's got a 5% yield. Is it doing well? No, but ... it'll take off. I like Vodafone VOD more."
