Final Segment 1
Title: |
'State of the
Union' |
|
. . . .
. |
|
Featured Stock(s): |
Western Union Co. (WU)

website

Finance profile for WU

After this segment, you
can see Jim's
Sudden:Death picks
here... |
JJC:
The wire transfer business
in this country... It's a
fabulous business... as
more and more immigrants
from Latin America, and
many other countries, send
most of their salaries...
back home. And,
although the recent
crackdown on immigration
hurt things, this country
should get a whole lot
more immigrant-friendly,
after the next election...
But you wouldn't know any
of this, by looking at the
catastrophe... the
debacle... that is one of
the worst stocks I've ever
seen...
Moneygram (MGI)...
Sell, sell, sell!
This is a company that has
totally and unbelievably
imploded... complete self
destruction... and is now
pecked by the vultures...
MGI's woes are all of its
own devising... And, when
this kind of thing happens
to a company in a good
business, you want to pick
up the phone, call your
broker, and buy its
strongest competitor...
Because, believe me, that
competitor should be able
to take share in a way
that any capitalist would
be proud of.
That means you've got to
pick up the phone - or
perhaps wire an order in -
for
Western Union (WU)!...
. . . .
.
The Bottom Line!:
I believe
Moneygram (MGI)'s
pain will be
Western Union (WU)'s
gain. Don't worry
about the election.
Take in some WU.

Mad Mail
EnerNOC, Inc. (ENOC)
Q:
Last month, you
talked about
ENOC. Over
the last two
days, it's
fallen apart.
It looks like
there's going to
be an
investigation.
What's going on?
JJC:
I went to the
source, which
was SWS
Securities...
from Harvard...
they recommended
this.
Here's what
Tracy said, who
was on our show.
She said, "I'm
not concerned
with the market
reaction to the
earnings
announcement.
I think the
pullback is a
great buying
opportunity.
And my
fundamental
thesis is
unchanged, and I
think it is
well-poised to
take advantage
of the
electricity
crunch we will
be facing in the
coming years..."
And she goes on
to say she likes
it. I've
got to tell you,
the expenses
were out of
control here...
It's an
interesting
idea... I bought
into it, because
I really thought
they did a lot
of high-quality
work...
The expenses are
not good enough
here... the
expenses are out
of control... so
I cannot go with
her... It
turns out that
this is not a
good idea...

Deere (DE)
Q:
Lately, you've
been talking
about ag and
Deere (DE).
In the past,
when you talked
about
Boeing (BA),
you would talk
about suppliers
to BA, and how
they would do
well. are
there any
suppliers to DE
that you would
like?
JJC:
I've got to tell
you... no.
It's just a
straight out
Deere play.
BA is a famous
company, in
terms of being a
general
contractor.
They have a lot
of
subcontractors,
that I'd like to
buy. DE is
generally a
one-shop place,
and I'm not
going to
recommend any
that goes into
that.

Mad Mail
General question
about buying
just a few
shares of stock
at a time...
Q:
I heard you
say... that a
person can start
by purchasing
just a few
stocks. Is
that true?
Can a person...
buy a few stocks
at a time, and
work their way
up?
JJC:
What I like
people to do is,
first, try to
save up to
$10,000 in what
is known as an
index fund...
and S&P 500
fund... all the
big fund
families have
them...
That way, once
you save that
$10,000, then
I'm going to let
you pick
individual
stocks.
Until then,
we're going to
use the miracle
of
diversification,
and the fact
that the S&P 500
stocks have
outperformed all
of their assets
over a 20-year
period.
So, first, the
index fund, then
the individual
stocks as you
get to learn.

Mad Mail
Schlumberger (SLB)
Q:
I am very
interested in
finding
companies that
specialize in
by-passed oil
recovery.
I heard there
was a small
Texas company
that is public
that does
by-passed oil
recovery.
I'm convinced
this is the
future for oil
production in
the USA.
Would you happen
to know the
names of any
companies that
specialize in
enhanced
recovery or
by-passed oil?
JJC:
Again, I am
going to stick
with majors, not
minors...
I am going to
stick with
SLB... with Halliburton (HAL)...
HAL might be a
good play for
that...
And, by the way,
just so you
know, Quicksilver
(KWK)
has a lot of
business like
that, but the
stock is up way
too high...

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. |
