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

Cemex (CX - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "No, you can't own a cement company in this kind of economy. You and I know better."

Chesapeake Energy (CHK - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "This is one of my favorite oil and gas plays. I'm a buyer of Chesapeake."

Alcoa (AA - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "You need to buy more Alcoa. It's going to report in two weeks and I think it's going to be OK. At $36, I want to pull the trigger."

Wachovia (WB - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "Anything can happen, but Wachovia is a train wreck. I do not like this stock at all."

Medtronic (MDT - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "Last quarter was good. I think it's the first in a string of good quarters. I think it's right. Pull the trigger."

Intrepid Potash (IPI - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "Bulls make money, bears make money, hogs get slaughtered. I recommended this one on the IPO. Do I really need to tell you to take profits?"

Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "I'm not worried about this one. I'm amazed this stock stays at 20. It feels like house of pain, but the dividend is safe."

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