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 from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles:

AT&T(T Quote): "The price cut with (Apple's(AAPL Quote) iPhone I think is a good thing for AT&T ... but it doesn't really drive AT&T's earnings. ... Great yield, stock under 40 for the first time since spring. ... comes down to 37, we're gonna have to back up the truck.*"

NewMarket(NEU Quote): "My bad. Stumped. ... A total Trojan embarrassment," Cramer said when he didn't have an answer about the stock. ... I have been "pantsed" by the New Market and I will have to come back next Monday with the answer."

Chesapeake Energy(CHK Quote): "I like XTO(XTO Quote) more."

Ford(F Quote): "Needs rates down. If you want to buy Ford, you buy the Ford preferred, not the common. You see GM(GM Quote) at 28 today? Got to be careful."

Starbucks(SBUX Quote): "They have to hire thousands and thousands of people [to keep up with their expansion]. ... Growing at 4% ... too expensive. Doesn't get cheap" until it gets to the low 20s, Cramer said.

Caterpillar(CAT Quote): "Rest of world play. Not a housing play. One of the greatest American manufacturers. ... I think the sellers are misinformed." Cramer owns Caterpillar for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.

Aqua America(WTR Quote): Cramer said he's been critical of the CEO "because he can't seem to grow earnings without doing acquisitions."

Jamba(JMBA Quote): "People want the next Hansen(HANS Quote) all the time. ... It is not Jamba Juice."

Under Armour(UA Quote): "Stalled here. ... Monster brand. I expect some selling to come in, and after the selling, then you pull the trigger."

International Game Technology(IGT Quote): "So cheap on 2009 earnings. I own it for the trust. ... I think gambling is one of our greatest exports. Also like Wynn(WYNN Quote) and Sands(LVS Quote)."

*For all you home-gamers, a 'mon-back opportunity means Cramer would back up the figurative truck and load up on a stock.
