Jim's comments BEFORE
the interview:
I want to talk to you
about a company that I
have been behind, from my
old Kudlow & Cramer
days... a company
that has been transforming
itself, and has been
consistently been
delivering numbers...
even if the stock, lately,
has been not great.
I am a fundamentalist...
and I look at what is
known as a bottom's up
view... picking apart an
individual company to see
whether I want to buy it
or not...
But I have been wrong
about this company's
stock, even as I have been
right about the company's
business... because I
didn't include sector
analysis, when I did my
bottom's up... I got the
half-right that was the
company's business, but
forgot about the half that
is the sector...
So, I don't know...
Maybe we are finally at a
point where I should worry
less about the sector,
because the business is so
good...
I'm about to introduce you
to a brand-new CEO of a
company that I regard as
the best house in a real
bad neighborhood... I'm
talking about
VF Corp. (VFC)...
which you know as North
Face, Nautica, Jansport,
Vans... just a lot of
great ones that you're
probably used to buying,
not realizing that it's
VFC... It's both a
clothing manufacturer and
a retailer...
Earlier this month
(actually only
about a week ago - on
1/4/08), when the stock
was in the mid-$60s, I
urged you to buy it... you
caught a five-point move
when the new CEO revealed
that business was much
better than expected...
something that only
Cramer-fave,
Costco (COST),
and VFC can claim.
How do they do it?...
How do they do it in the
worst environment for
retail and apparel that I
have seen in 18 years?...
How can they be
consistent?...
Let's ask a man I knew
from when he ran North
Face, who has now been
given the reins of the
whole company... and I'm
thrilled about that... by
the retiring Mackey
McDonald... Eric
Wiseman, VFC's president
and new CEO...

Back up the truck -
indicated by Jim, when he
says the stock is so good,
that he would do a
'mon-back' on the stock...
In other words, this is the
sound someone would say to a
truck driver, "Come on
back... " as he is "backing
up the truck" to load up on
his cargo. Translation
for buying stocks:
This recommendation by Jim
indicates that, after you do
your own
homework on the stock,
you should feel comfortable
loading up on it, as it is
in a good position to be
bought at this point. |
|
 |
Stumped. - Of the
2,000+ stocks that Jim
Cramer has in his head, for
which he has an informed
opinion, he sometimes comes
across a caller with a stock
he does not know well enough
to opine on... He then
indicates he is stumped and
will have to come back to
it, after he does some
homework of his own on
the stock. This
usually occurs during the
Lightning Round, when Jim
does not know in advance who
is calling, or what their
stock question is about. |

|
Definitions of key phrases
used by Jim, known as
"Cramerisms": |
|
 |
Definition: 'Pull the
trigger' is Jim's phrase for making
the decision at that point to trade -
either to 'buy' or
to 'sell' (although he
usually uses the phrase for
buying), as if to say you
should feel comfortable
enough to make the final
decision without looking
back... |
|
|
Definition: 'Ring
the Register' is Jim's phrase for
selling a stock, and making
it a final sale, that you
should not look back on.
Put it behind you. |
|
|
Definition: 'Let It Come In' indicates how you
may wait for it to pull back, or have the
stock price come down briefly, as your
chance (after letting it come in) to buy
the rest of your position (i.e., total
number of shares you own in that stock). |
|
|
Definition: 'backing it up'
or 'doing a 'mon-back' is Jim's
phrase for the metaphor of backing up a
truck to load up on a stock by buying
it. 'Mon-back is short for the
imaginary worker saying, 'Come on
back...' as the truck is backing up to
receive its load... Notice that we use
the little truck icon to indicate where
Jim has mentioned this.
Translation for buying
stocks: This
recommendation by Jim
indicates that, after you do
your own
homework on the stock,
you should feel comfortable
loading up on it, as it is
in a good position to be
bought at this point. |
