CEO Interview
Jack Cumming,
CEO
Hologic Inc. (HOLX*)
Jim's comments
BEFORE interview:
In
Jim Cramer's Stay Mad For Life,
I identify a
couple of stocks
that I think
that you can
just buy... I
typically don't
do this... and
own for many
years... and one
of them is a
company called
Hologic (HOLX*),
and I did that
because there is
a huge cohort of
baby boomers who
know that
healthcare is
everything...
HOLX* is the
leader in
diagnostic and
medical imaging
for mammography,
and for
osteoporosis.
I happen to
think... we do a
lot about
diabetes, and
the epidemic of
diabetes...
I think there's
an epidemic of
breast cancer in
this country,
and I think our
best defense
against it is
HOLX*.
But let's see if
I am way given
to hyperbole...
I want to talk
to Jack Cumming,
CEO of HOLX* to
see if I'm too
bullish...
He just reported
what I thought
was a great
quarter.
The marketplace
agreed with
me...
Jack, welcome
back to the
show...
. . . .
.
Jim's comments AFTER
interview:
Yeah, HOLX is going
higher. I own it for
my charitable trust. I wish I
hadn't sold some...
I wish I had my
whole firm in the
darn thing. Jack
Cumming, CEO of
HOLX*, is money.
Stay with him!

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. |
