When one company in a
sector fauters, what
should you do with its
competitors? Is it
pin action?... The
first one goes, they all
go?... Do we just take
them all out and shoot
them?
It depends...
But, right now, I see a
situation where it's way
too easy to mistake
weakness at one company
for weakness in an entire
industry...
. . . .
.
We
talked about this on
Monday, with Motorola (MOT)
and Nokia (NOK).
If you looked at only
MOT's poor results, and
listened only to its
conference call, you would
have thought the cell
phone business was a
rotten, rotten place to
be... and you would have
sold NOK, right before it
reported a really stellar
quarter, because MOT's
pain meant not that
everyone was doing worse,
but that MOT was losing
share to NOK...
Now, NOK is up 5 straight
points, off of that...
extrapolation... one that
ultimately signified
nothing, except for a
missed opportunity for the
sellers of NOK...
. . . .
.
If you look at the phone
companies, you'll see the
same thing happening right
now... especially when it
comes to wireless... and
that, my friends, has
given you not one, but two
opportunities to make some
money...
The big three wireless
providers are
AT&T (T),
Verizon
(VZ)
- actually Verizon
Wireless, which they own
half of - and Sprint Nextel
(S)...
If you ask me, AT&T and
Verizon are must keeps...
But Sprint is a
throwaway... an
unmitigated disaster...
and it's poor performance
holds back the other two,
because the Street thinks
weakness in Sprint means
weakness in wireless...
But, from where I'm
standing, this just isn't
true...
If you'd believed Sprint,
you sold these stocks
right before they came out
with their fabulous
quarters...
. . . .
.
The Bottom Line!:
Don't get taken in when
winners make excuses.
Stick with winners like
AT&T (T)
and
Verizon
(VZ),
when those excuses from
the losers send everything
lower.

'Mad Mail'
JPMorgan Chase & Co
(JPM)
Q:
With JPM coming
out relatively
unscathed by the
mortgage
fallout,
reporting only
$1.3 billion in
loss compared to
Citigroup (C*)'s
$18 billion
write down, is
JPM a solid
long-term
investment?
With Jamie
Dimond emerging
as something of
a rock star
among CEOs,
JPM's outlook
appears stronger
than most to me.
Jim:
I would not put
him a rock
star... they
still had
losses... but
I'll say this...
The banks stocks
are all going to
come, because
there have been
some downgrades
by S&P tonight.
We're worried
about the
financial
instruments.
I think,
overall, the Fed
is in control
now. I
think, if JPM
comes down 3-4-5
points, you
should buy it.
I think, if
Wachovia (WB)
comes down a
couple of
points, you
should buy it.
We're now in a
different world,
where weakness
should be
bought, but
there is going
to be a lot of
bad news...

'Mad Mail'
Walgreen Co. (WAG)
Q:
I purchased WAG
at just over
$47.
Should I
continue to hold
or sell it at a
huge loss?
Jim:
In Cramerica, we
don't care about
where you bought
it, we care
about where it's
going to, and
WAG, I believe
is going down,
because the
business is no
good.

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. |
