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:

AT&T T: "You have to buy this stock. It's insane that this stock is going so low. They have the iPhone. I wouldn't even hesitate; I want to own AT&T."

Ferrellgas Partners FGP: "This stock yields 10%, and I have no idea what's going on. I think that stock should be bought."

Energy Conversion Devices ENER: "Take advantage of this company. It's down along with oil and it's one of the best alternative energy plays out there."

MetLife MET: "MetLife is a high quality insurer. I have always felt they're one of the best insurance companies in the world. I really like that one."

Marathon Oil MRO: "A premium refiner with great properties overseas at a 52-week low is a travesty. I want to own this one."

Sonic Corp SONC: "This is another great stock that has been annihilated. I want to buy this one, but not until we scrap the ethanol mandate."

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