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

Yahoo! (YHOO Quote): "Yahoo is already done. There's maybe one to two points of upside. I say no to Yahoo."

Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY Quote): "I hate to recommend a stock solely on its yield and potential upside, but that's exactly what this one has. I still like Merck (MRK Quote) more though."

Gannett (GCI Quote): "I struggle and struggle and struggle trying to find a reason to own Gannett. I like it as a company, but there is no catalyst for the stock."

Qwest Communications (Q Quote): "I've been watching this one, but I've got a lot of better yield stocks out there. Look at Verizon (VZ Quote)."

Exploration Co Delaware (TXCO Quote): "This one is fine, but you know I have a whole list of favorite oil and gas stocks that I like a whole lot more than this one."

Macquarie Infrastructure (MIC Quote): "No, I've been negative on that one. I don't trust them down there."

Petrobras (PZE Quote): "No, this one is often confused with Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR Quote). PBR is your play for Brazilian oil."

NVIDIA (NVDA Quote): "No, I've been negative on this and Sandisk (SNDK Quote) for about a year now. No, it's no good."

Brookfield Asset Management (BAM Quote): "I want to stick by this one, but it needs financing and now it's one of my worst calls in awhile."

Ambac Financial Group (ABK Quote): "Let me be specific, this is a company that I've been saying to sell for 30 to 40 points now. Stay away."

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