Sudden:Death picks

JJC:
We talked endless about
the difference between
"old tech"... the Silicon
Valley based companies you
traditionally think of as
tech... and Cramer's "new
tech" companies... "Old
Tech" companies work
tirelessly to build a more
sleek cell phone, or a
more realistic-looking
video game, that will
train your children to be
better felons... But, in
order to be included with
my "new tech" companies,
the industrial companies
that tend to be based in
the rust belt... "new
tech" is about solving
actual problems facing all
of us, around the world...
not just teenagers starved
for new ways to text... or
different versions of
Guitar Hero, with custom
songs built in...
So far, I've generally
focused on big picture,
mankind-saving problems...
and that's renewable
energy, cutting carbon
emissions, ending
famine... but a company
doesn't have to be saving
the world to be a "new
tech" name... It just has
to use technology to
create better ways of
doing things... to offer
other companies... not
just humanity... more
efficient and useful
equipment. In other words,
it can solve other
companies' problems. It
doesn't necessarily have
to solve them itself.
And that's why I am
recommending a company
that reported a beautiful
earnings forecast very
recently... and it has now
had a chance... it's
pulled back...
And that company is...
Donaldson Company Inc.
(DCI).
That's the second-largest
maker of filters in the
world...
. . . .
.
Now, I know you're
thinking... okay, I've got
to change the channel...
filters... I mean, how
could it be more boring...
Listen up! Money... and
particularly making
money... is not boring...
and a stock that's up 71%
since I recommended it a
long time ago, on
September 21st of 2005...
71%... I'd be bored and
rich...
. . . .
.
Filters... well Pall
Corp. (PLL),
another manufacturer of
filters, just reported a
great quarter, and the
stock was up 4.7% today.
Sill bored? Oh, and by the
way, not to toot my own
horn or anything, but I
have liked filters on this
show since we started. I
recommended PLL
on January 4th of 2006,
when the stock was
$26.90... a 55% gain... of
course, better than a
sharp stick in the eye...
. . . .
.
DCI, which makes filters
for all different kinds of
engines, vehicles in
construction, machinery,
filtration systems... they
collect dust, they remove
impurities from all sorts
of gasses and liquids for
gas turbines... which need
clean air to work
properly. Again, it
doesn't sound all that
sexy. But that's because
we don't think about
filters... they're just
there.
Of course, they're a
necessity for every
industrial or automotive
application. But we've had
filters forever. What
could be new or
interesting about them or
a company that makes them?
That's the mistake that
people who don't
understand the "new tech"
thesis make...
Sure, filters aren't new
like the new iPhone that
came out yesterday,
okay... But that doesn't
mean you can't come up
with new ways to make
better, more efficient
filters that really
matter. You can't just
think a filter is a filter
is a filter... If you do,
DCI is indeed a real
snooze.
But if you embrace the
embrace the idea of "new
tech," you might notice
that this company is a
real leader in this
important technology...
filtration technology. Is
it as important as cell
phone technology?... I say
yes! Is it as important as
video game technology?...
Not even an issue.
. . . .
.
You might see that DCI's
products create huge
savings by decreasing
energy consumption, either
by reducing pressure loss
or by determining and
indicating - as many of
DCI's products are
designed to do - the best
time to change the filter
elements for optimal
energy savings.
With oil at $120 (cost per
barrel), this is key
technology...
DCI makes a device called
the "economizer"... that
they put in some of their
compressed air filters. It
uses a microprocessor to
figure out when the filter
elements should be changed
to maximize energy
savings, and then LEDs
signal the user that it's
time to make the switch.
DCI is developing power
core engine filters that
are a third the size of
the current ones, making
this stuff smaller and
lighter... always,
therefore, making it more
energy efficient.
The company also makes
turret dust collectors
that are 50% smaller than
current collectors, and
make it easier to change
filters. DCI is also
developing a liquid filter
that's highly efficient,
and has a longer filter
life than previous
models... it saves energy.
All right... the stuff's
not going to save the
world, but it is designed
to help companies do
better in a higher oil
environment, just like
what we have.
These filters are what the
engine makers and what the
turbine makers are asking
for, because they keep the
dust and gunk out, and let
engines and turbines run
better than ever.
DCI, like many of my "new
tech" companies is a
ROW-er... 55% of its
sales coming from the rest
of the world, which is
important, because the
rest of the world isn't
nearly as slow growth as
we are.
DCI is expanding with new
plants everywhere, from
the Czech Republic to
India to Brazil to
Thailand... When I look at
these great American "new
tech" companies, you would
think that they don't know
anything other than the
United States, and then
you hear where they're
opening, and you say, boy,
our companies are greater
than ever.
Now, it's most recent
quarter was phenomenal.
DCI beat
earnings-per-share
estimates by 6 cents. It
was one of the leading
gainers that day... the
biggest gainer on the New
York Stock Exchange... and
it has since trickled
down, which is our
opportunity.
Its gas turbine filtration
business, to me, seems to
be on fire. Its engine
filtration business is
being driven by
international demand for
construction and mining
equipment. This is a stock
that's tapped into the
global themes we love so
much on Mad Money...
DCI has taken some hits
from truck filter sales,
but the company said
they're seeing a pick up
in orders from last year.
That's going to do it. I
think it signals a bottom
but, albeit, in a pretty
weak market.
I know these stocks aren't
sexy. I know it would be
more fun to come out here
and recommend
Activision (ATVI),
or recommend
NVIDIA (NVDA),
or
Rambus (RMBS),
or
Juniper (JNPR)...
I know those are exciting,
but they don't make you
money.
. . . .
.
The Bottom Line!:
I believe that
Donaldson Company Inc.
(DCI),
with its energy-saving
filters, international
growth, and the turnaround
in the weaker North
American truck business is
a terrific buy right here,
especially if you think,
as I do, that energy's not
going to get much cheaper
anytime soon.

Question from
the live studio
audience:
Q:
How do you
relax? JJC:
I don't relax
during the week.
I just don't.
Monday through
Friday is just
work.
Q:
Everyone knows
about the
iPhone...
and with Apple (AAPL)
cutting the
price, I wanted
to know what
impact you think
there will be on
some companies
like T and
Verizon
(VZ*). JJC:
T is a
remarkable
company that
doesn't get
enough credit
for taking a
very bold move,
to take the
iPhone... I
think it was
really smart.
I know that my
experience is
that there are a
lot of people
who would not
want AT&T
service, because
they're locked
into another
plan... who will
be, over time,
switching.
So I think T is
a buy.
They were very
adamant the
other day...
they were very
honest about
what it's going
to do to their
earnings.
It is still a
great situation.
Again, I would
repeat that
AAPL... you hold
onto what's
left...
Someone asked me
the other day
whether I'd be
out of
Research
In Motion (RIMM),
because of the
iPhone...
and I said
absolutely not.
I don't want to
touch RIMM.
That was one of
my four horsemen
last year that I
kept on the
whole way.
I got back on
AAPL, after the
dip. I'm
still not there
for
Amazon.com (AMZN)...
and
Google Inc. (GOOG)...
I said that I
missed 50, but I
like GOOG now.

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.
