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:

Sirius Satellite Radio SIRI: "The FCC has to approve this deal ... and if they do, you've got yourself a $5 stock."

Agnico-Eagle Mines AEM: "Gold has come down huge and I keep buying more and more. I'm buying Yamana Gold AUY and Agnico. People should have a gold stock in their portfolio."

Energy Conversion Devices ENER: "I gotta tell you, that's the wrong solar play. You want First Solar FSLR. There's room for First solar in the pantheon of alternative energy."

ING Group ING: "No, they're a decent bank, but I'm not a buyer of that one. I like Hudson City Bancorp HCBK and I've been riding that one."

Sirtris Pharmaceuticals SIRT: "No, no, you have to ring the register on that one. "

South Financial Group TSFG: "This is another stinky financial. No, no and I'm saying no again. No, and that's it."

Corrections Corp. of America CXW: "I'm worried about this one. They've had a spotty record and I don't trust them. They're in a good business, but their execution has been bad."

Urban Outfitters URBN: "I like Urban. I like TJX TJX, Wal-Mart WMT and Costco COST too. Those are my four favorite retailers."

Microsoft MSFT: "Disappointing. I'm a big Steve Ballmer fan, but the PC business is not hot. Sell Microsoft and buy some Apple AAPL."

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