Opening Segment 1
Title: |
'Channeling Profits'
|
|
. . . .

|
Featured Stock(s): |
Discovery Holding Co. (DISCA*)
See DISCA*'s official
website
here.
See the Yahoo!
Finance profile for DISCA*
here.

below...

Round picks
here... |
JJC: Tonight, we've
done airplanes, we've done
engines...
Our final camouflage green
play is actually in
television...
The stock is DISCA*, a
longtime Cramer fave...
which I own for
my charitable trust... which I'm
up a little bit on in this
stock...
It's a longtime Cramer
fave... because it's a
good stock. It's up 6.2%
since I originally
recommended it about a
year ago, April 23rd of
2007... The stock was at
$20.93. Okay, it doesn't
sound that great, right...
but the S&P 500 is down
5.6% over the same
period... and DISCA*
actually traded to a high
of $29.81, up 42% from my
recommendation at one
point... So, if you
schnitzeled some of
those profits, it could
have given you a big
gain...
I still like DISCA* for
the same reasons I liked
it a year ago...
. . .
. .
[Very similar to
tonight's overview
and recommendation
for DISCA* by Jim,
see last year's
extensive comments
from Jim's
recommendation
for DISCA on April
23, 2007...
here.]
. . . .
.
The Bottom Line!:
I say buy
Discovery Holding Co. (DISCA*)
for Planet Green, their
new eco-friendly
channel... Buy it for
Oprah... Buy it for their
restructuring... Buy it
for the wacky meerkats...
Oh, and maybe you buy it
because I think it's a
winner!

Mad Mail
Ormat
Technologies
Inc. (ORA)
Q:
Haven't
heard you
mention the
geothermal power
industry or any
of the related
companies. This
industry seems
to be global,
well established
and an almost
inexhaustible
natural energy
resource when
managed
correctly...
Look forward to
your response.
JJC:
We tried it once
with Ormat
Technologies
Inc. (ORA). It
didn't work that
well. It's not a
great... It's a
great source of
energy. It's not
a great source
of stocks. How
about that...

Mad Mail
General question
about a stock
too small to
mention - an
algae play for
biodeisel...
Q:
Wednesday's
episode had a
question from a
listener about
biodeisel
companies that
produce from
corn versus
algae. (JJC: He
goes on to
recommend an
algae company
that I'm not
allowed to
mention, because
it's too small,
okay... )
JJC:
Now, we looked
into these, but
every one of
them violates
our restrictions
for the stocks
that we can talk
about, because
they don't trade
(e.g., in high
enough volumes)
and their too
small (e.g., in
total market
cap)... When we
have stocks that
are too small,
we simply don't
want to talk
about them...
That would just
make it so the
show would
simply prop (up)
stocks...

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
