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:

Southwest Airlines (LUV - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "No, no, no. We don't recommended any airlines on this show."

China Finance Online (JRJC - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "That's a bad stock, and I don't like it. I just have to tell you to sell, sell, sell."

Merrill Lynch (MER - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "Merrill is OK, I don't think there's a problem at Merrill, but I do think that Goldman Sachs (GS - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) is better."

Tata Motors (TTM - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "No, they paid too much for those new brands. We took that one off the table and we're not looking back."

Best BUY (BBY - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "After that great quarter, the stock did nothing. I can't recommend that. I don't like retail, but I do like Urban Outfitters (URBN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), VF Corp (VFC - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and Jones Apparel (JNY - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr)."

Cherokee (CHKE - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "Cherokee is too dicey for me, I'd rather see you in Target Corp (TGT - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr)."

Terra Industries Inc (TRA - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "No, I like Potash (POT - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and Mosaic (MOS - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and then Agrium (AGU - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr). That's my pecking order for those stocks."

Vasco Data Security (VDSI - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "No, they missed the quarter. They're in the penalty box; that's a big 10-minute penalty there."

ING Group (ING - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I'm not recommending ING. You can keep your money at the bank, but not in the stock."

Riverbed Technologies (RVBD - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I was wrong about Riverbed. I blew it. I thought they were immune to the economic slowdown, and they're not."

Southwestern Energy (SWN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I like natural gas so much. I almost don't care which company you own, as long as you've got one."

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