JJC:
Tonight, I'm teaching you
the secret truth about the
evils of hair... not
the kind that grows on some
people's heads, although I
think that stuff is
dramatically over-rated...
. . . .
.
When a company reports its
quarterly results, and its
earnings are full of
one-time gains, or
unsustainable profits, or
gross margin pressure
that's hard to see... that
will show up as problems
in the future, we say the
quarter has 'hair on
it'... That's
genuine Wall Street
jibberish... when managers
get together and say,
well, what was the matter
with that
Apple (AAPL)
quarter? A lot
of hair...
Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM),
last week, had a lot of
hair...
It went down after its
latest quarter, even
though everyone talked
about how it was $40
billion plus... because it
looked like a big beat,
but the whole thing was
immersed in hair...
. . . .
.
Now I want to tell you
about a stock that's been
a huge beneficiary of
baldness...
Intuitive Surgical (ISRG)...
Remember, this is the
company that makes robotic
surgery machines...
[To see all of Jim's past
comments and descriptions
for ISRG,
click here... ]
So this is in stark
contrast to XOM, where the
beat was fueled by
one-time gains, share
buybacks, and profits from
corporate finance, rather
than oil... And, frankly,
the future would look
bleak for XOM, if we don't
hear that they're going to
replace their reserves at
an upcoming analyst
meeting...
When you give the Street a
perfect quarter, with no
hair on it, the analysts
gush...
Here's Jeffries...
'(The ISRG) 4Q results
were impressive.
Hard to argue with stellar
results...' Now,
here's Cramer:
I think ISRG is a company
that looks like a portrait
of Michael Chiklis (lead
actor on the FX series,
The Shield)...
You want the Street
falling all over your
stock, and ISRG shows how
it is done...
. . . .
.
The Bottom Line!:
It's
all about the hair!... Or
lack thereof...
Intuitive Surgical Inc. (ISRG)'s
baldness is beautiful, and
I say buy, buy, buy!...
. . . .

Jim's comments
BEFORE interview:
One stock we've
been behind, since we started
Mad Money, is a company called
Humana Inc. (HUM),
and I am proud to say that we
have caught a double in HUM.
This, to me, is the best managed
care company in the country, and
it's also the most aggressive,
in terms of recruiting people to
come and take their services...
I want to find out more about
that. The stock was down
almost $3 bucks today, and I
smell a fabulous buying
opportunity, but let's hear it
from the man...
. . . .
.
Jim's comments AFTER
interview:
I understand, from
my sources, the
President's new
budget plan favors
cuts to doctors...
not to Medicare, not
to managed care,
like Humana (HUM)...
I want you to buy
HUM on this
weakness...
This one is still
the best in show -
buy, buy, buy! - and
it's just a bunch of
guys saying, oh man,
I've got to take
some money off the
table. I can't
blame them, but that
could be your
opportunity...
If that stock gets
downgraded... buy,
buy, buy...

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. |
