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:

Mercado Libre (MELI Quote): "This is the highest-growth stock. ... The way you play these things is they get hammered and then you BuyBuyBuy. ... This thing does not play off the Federal Reserve."

Applied Materials (AMAT Quote): "A lot of people are buying because the sun business is kicking in. ... In 2009, that's the stock you want to own."

Tyco (TYC Quote): "I have felt that that whole conglomerate was Jiminy Cricket. ... We made three bucks and sold."

Amgen (AMGN Quote): "Amgen is problematic here. I would not be a buyer of Amgen. I think Amgen is finished. It's got government investigations. ... My least favorite."

United Parcel Service (UPS Quote): "UPS announced a really big buyback ... and then the stock got hammered. I think you gotta scale in."

Cypress Semi (CY Quote): "Love it! ... They report next week. I think the quarter's going to be very good. ... I would be a buyer of Cypress before it reports next week."

Limelight Networks (LLNW Quote): "I always favor Omniture (OMTR Quote) in that, but this is a very tough market for that kind of stock. I want to be careful."

Inverness Medical (IMA Quote): "I have scaled back IMA for a more sensible position for Action Alerts PLUS. ... I feel that that stock ... is in neutral zone. If it drops below 50, I would rebuy all the stock I sold."

Nymex (NMX Quote): "Take the profit! ... People are waiting forever for a takeover bid, and they're not going to get it."

Transocean (RIG Quote): "Let's be very carful here. ... I think RIG can be owned, but it's gonna be bumpy because Schlumberger (SLB Quote) was so bad today."

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