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

Potash POT: "Everyone wants to sell these stocks, but I believe we're still in the early stages of fertilizer shortages. I want to buy the fertilizer stocks."

Capstead Mortgage CMO: "I used to like these companies but they use too much leverage and I don't think the system is going to give it to them anymore. I want you to ring the register."

Compagnie Gnrale de Gophysique CGV: "You're messing with some difficult technology there. Why not go right to king Halliburton HAL? HAL is going to $50. Back up the truck."

Visa V: "I like Mastercard MA more than Visa. If you want to hear a company in charge of their destiny, listen to the Mastercard conference call."

ConocoPhillips COP: "I think Conoco is, and remains, a great integrated oil play. 2008 is the year of natural gas. I want to keep buying until natural gas goes to $16."

La-Z-Boy LZB: "That's easy: sell, sell, sell. I have no furniture companies that I'd ever recommend on this show."

MEMC Electronics WFR: "This is in the sell block. It continues to disappoint. It's not the technology that I like. I like First Solar FSLR."

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