Round picks

JJC:
Redemption is possible,
when it comes to the
Mad Money Wall of Shame... You
can either quit, fall on
your sword, and get
removed... Or, you
can do the right thing by
shareholders, and get
removed.
We put Jimmy Keyes, of
Blockbuster Inc.
(BBI)...
the CEO... on the Wall of
Shame at the end of June.
Why did we do it?...
Because we felt very
strongly that it was
wrong-headed of him to be
able to take what he's
done, to turnaround this
company... and then bid
for a real loser, which is
Circuit City (CC)...
We pleaded with him to
walk away from the Circuit
City table.
Well guess what he did
yesterday?...
He walked away.
Now his stock was one of
the few stocks that was up
today, and I think it's
going to go higher.
James Keyes... it is with
great pleasure that I take
you off the
Wall of Shame...
You have completely and
utterly redeemed yourself,
and I thank you so much.
Now, who should move up
(in the Wall of Shame
rankings)?...
I have come to believe
that this man (Jim is
holding a picture of Jerry
Yang, CEO of
Yahoo! (YHOO)
may be the biggest serial
destroyer of capital
during this whole era...
Washington Mutual (WM)
(at the top of the list)
has been up for the last
three days... let's
actually put him second.
Jerry Yang, CEO of YHOO,
had a chance to sell his
company for almost double
where it is now... YHOO...
and he really, really has
hurt you, if you own YHOO
stock, and he has become
the embodiment... just the
absolute embodiment of
exactly what we thought
was beaten during the days
when Michael Douglas
reigned supreme on Wall
Street.
This man has treated this
company as if it is
owned... He owes the
shareholders a chance to
go back to the table and
get the big money from
Microsoft (MSFT).
I am putting Jerry Yang at
the top of the
Wall of Shame...
and I've got to tell you
something... that guy is
truly shameful...
. . . .
.
So, anyway, my take is...
Yang deserves the worst
slot... and, James
Keyes, you have been
redeemed. Thank you
for what you did for
Blockbuster
(BBI)...
thank you for walking away
from Circuit City (CC).

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.
