Jim's Comments BEFORE the interview:         The market has put gold, and the gold stocks, into a permanent Sell Block... I mean, the stocks have been pulverized.... absolutely crushed.  But the market is really, frankly, not the most edacious judge...  So, tonight, you know what I'm going to do?  I'm busting gold out of the Sell Block... and telling you that, yes, gold is still worth owning... Buy, buy, buy!

What happened to the gold stocks is a classic bull market pullback, and no more... It goes to $1000, and backs up to $900...  That's perfect.

It is not evidence that gold is over.

It's really just the market giving you a great opportunity to buy these stocks at lower prices.  Right now, that buying opportunity is even better, because the IMF (International Monetary Fund) is selling gold...  and that's putting downward pressure on gold prices...

These stocks are all being depressed simply by the decline in gold, okay...  and I want to take the other side of anything... anything the IMF does...  especially considering that, when you sell gold, you're buying paper currency, which is what the IMF is doing...   I don't want to stock up on paper currency right now...

Actually, I like anything that artificially and temporarily lowers the price of my absolute favorite metal.

.  .  .  .  .


Why am I confident that gold still works, when the market has so clearly turned against it?

First of all, the Fed has to cut interest rates more... they have to.  That will make the dollar weaker and gold stronger...

Second, gold is the great way to play the uncertainty of the presidential election, and I predict that people will start buying it for security in uncertain times, sending the price higher.

Remember, I think that gold's going to $1600 an ounce...  There's also the most important reason... we don't have enough of the stuff...  When the IMF announces a big sale, it's absorbed immediately...  

But... and this is a big but...  I have been using a proxy in my favorite one of gold...  Yamana Gold Inc. (AUY*), and everybody knows that...  and I mention this gold stock so often that the market might as well put my face on the Sell Block too.

Is that right?...  Well, AUY* did miss its last quarter...  Today, AUY* released its preliminary 1st quarter numbers... They beat expectations but, again, the company lowered overall production expectations for the quarter.

I'm undecided and, frankly, a bit perturbed...   I think this is such an important stock that I own it for my charitable trust...  and I'm trying to figure out, do I build up a position or not...  I already have a position...   It's about 50-80 cents lower now...

I don't whether to put AUY* on parole, or recommend another Cramer fave gold stock, Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM)...

That's why I've got Peter Marrone, the CEO of AUY*, talking to us tonight from Europe... so we can get more information and decide whether to spring AUY* from the Sell Block...

Mr. Marrone, welcome back to Mad Money...

.  .  .  .  .

Jim's Comments AFTER the interview:      All right, look, I own it...  I like gold so much that I would buy it.   It's down a lot.   It obviously had some issues this quarter.  Some of you might want to wait until next quarter.   I feel better about it, but I've got to tell you that, when a company stumbles, as these guys did, a lot of people should wait for the next quarter...   I'm going to go ahead and probably buy some, but I cant' be that aggressive about it...

Mad Mail

Dolan Media Company (DM)

Q:  
 A few months ago, I was watching the show and you suggested DM, yet on last night's show, you had to take a pass... I know you process enormous amounts of data, but this stood out, given that I did my own research on the newly IPO'd corporation and invested and I am now a bit concerned.  Any direction on DM?

JJC:
     First of all, I apologize... When I heard Dolan Media, I moronically thought Dolan, the cablevision company... and that was wrong.  DM, yes indeed... I looked at that company and liked it, because it does credit work...  It does credit publications, including about commercial real estate, and I stick by it.  The stock missed the quarter, and that's why it got hit... but I think it's got a great business model, and it will come back.

A Charitable Trust stock. - An asterisk next to a stock symbol indicates that Jim mentioned it is a stock that he manages within
his charitable trust portfolio.  You can see the complete portfolio
of stocks here >>

Thumbs up - indicates he would buy the stock or, at the very least, not sell the stock.  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

Thumbs down - indicates he has said not to buy or to sell the stock, based on his comments  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

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.
