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:

Synaptics SYNA: "I am not a fan of touchscreens. It's too much of a commodity. Stay away from that group."

Methanex MEOH: "This stock has been so cheap for so long I don't know what to say. I can't get behind it. This group is hard, let's just go with DuPont DD or Dow Chemical DOW."

Dolan Media DM: "These are specialized business publications. I liked it when it IPO'd, but I don't like anything media right now."

Tesoro TSO: "No, no, we're not recommending any refiners right now. The margins are horrible here. They're getting squeezed. You can go with Marathon Oil MRO but that's it."

Sirius Satellite Radio SIRI: "One year and 79 days the FCC has been holding up this merger. Enough is enough; it's an outrage. Sirius should be bought. "

World Wrestling Entertainment WWE: "I was concerned with the quarter, but the number was fine and I say its two thumbs up. WWE rocks."

Akamai Technologies AKAM: "That's old technology. I'd take profits there and invest in some new tech like Eaton ETN and Parker Hannifin PH and go where the excitement is."

ONEOK Partners OKS: "I've always liked that one. That's a good situation. I like these stocks and their yields. "

Spartan Motors SPAR: "No, no, this is an under-performer. They can't deliver in this environment. I'm sorry."
