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

Motorola MOT: "I think the cellphone business is bad. Next year is going to be even worse. They have Carl Icahn going for them, but that's about it."

Suntech Power STP: "I have been a backer of First Solar FSLR. I'm not a fan of Suntech. "

Kinder Morgan KMP: "I think Kinder is doing a remarkable job. That is a great natural gas play, I want to be in the pipeline business."

ITT Educational ESI: "I got to tell you: anything to do with education, anything connected to education, you should sell. I want nothing to do with that sector."

Wachovia WB: "I like their management, but they bought Golden West at the top. That dividend worries me. I think you got to sell some of that stock. "

Kansas City Southern KSU: "The rails are on fire. Whether it's CSX Corp CSX or Union Pacific UNP or this one, I endorse them."

Genco Shipping GNK: "The only bulk carrier I'm recommending is Frontline FRO. It has a 17% yield and their yield should be solid for at least a few quarters."

Transocean RIG: "This company is still raising rates and still doing well, but I'm starting to like some others I'll talk about later."

AFLAC AFL: "No sub-prime exposure, very solid company. I'm impressed. That company is one of great insurance companies out there and didn't shoot itself in the foot."

Arch Coal ACI: "If a Democrat gets in the White House, you're finished, but if McCain gets in, then you can buy Arch and Peabody Energy BTU."

Google GOOG: "I think the numbers are too high. I think its still got some room to fall. I cannot endorse it here. "

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