GTXI

15.85

na

Mad Mail

GTX Inc. (GTXI)

JJC:     Will in Hawaii earlier asked about GTXI.  It stumped... Cramer.  Okay, that one is a small biotech company.  It's making drugs for urology and oncology.  It's got a drug, Acapodene, which is in Phase III for preventing prostate cancer in men, and is currently marketing a drug called Fareston, which is for metastatic breast cancer.  This is a huge specualtive play.  It's like a lottery ticket... I don't mind this.  I don't mind speculating with GTXI.  It's got some irons in the fire, but be prepared... If it misses, it's going to go down very big... 

CPTS

17.68

na

Mad Mail

Conceptus, Inc. (CPTS)

JJC:     Chris in California asked about CPTS... CPTS missed the quarter, both on the top and bottom line.  It's a medical device play that manufactures Essure... a minimally-invasive, but permanent birth control option.  No.  We're not touching this one.  Sell, sell, sell.

AMSC

29.41

na

Mad Mail

American Superconductor (AMSC)

Q:  
  With the projection of 20% of our energy being provided by wind, have you changed your opinion on AMSC?  Looks like they are the ones to hook up the wind farms to the utility grid.

JJC:
     I'm going to be very adamant about this.  I looked into it and looked into it... I did like this at one time.  I don't think AMSC is nearly as strong a company as I once thought, in terms of wind.  No.  I'll do Tetra Tech Inc. (TTEK) as my speculative wind... TRN for turbines... Owens Corning (OC) for the composte minerals that go into the big... remember, those Boeing 747 wings... and I'll do Woodward Governor Co. (WGOV)... but please, do not ask me to go to AMSC.  Ix-nay...  I'd rather do Otter Tail Corp. (OTTR), which also works...

UBS

na

Mad Mail

UBS (UBS)

Q:  
  That UBS news Tuesday A.M. regarding terrorist funding accusations is the final straw for them, don't you think?

JJC:
     I think UBS has a great asset management business, being obscured by investment banking.  I do not want you to sell that one.

GRMN

44.79

na

Mad Mail

Garmin Ltd. (GRMN)

Q:  
  I was in my favorite running store last week and there was a frenzy for this just-released GPS running watch called the Forerunner 405 by GRMN.  Thi sthing is slick and I wathced the store's entire allocation get snapped up instantly (for $350 each).  For runners, this release was bigger than "Iron Man."  I know you were previously bearish on GRMN, but could this be a reason to buy?

JJC:
     Listen to me, okay...  What happens is, we will go re-look at GRMN, because of this product, but GRMN is a very big company, and the rest of its business is not doing that well.  You know I got negative with GRMN at Christmastime last year.  I am not ready to go positive on it yet.

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.
