Sudden:Death picks
here...
Jim: The
Sell Block has a new
inmate!...
And, if you're caught aiding
it and abetting it, or
worse, owning it... you
could be in a lot of
trouble... and the stock
is... Target (TGT)!
I'm being serious here...
TGT.
This one deserves some
actual punishment...
So I'm going to say
something that, a year ago,
would have been thought of
as the ultimate humiliation
for TGT...
I don't want to say it out
loud... it's just between
you and me...
I want you to sell it, and
swap into
Wal-Mart (WMT*)...
I said it!
. . . .
.
The Bottom Line!:
I blew it on Target (TGT).
At least I got it right about
Wal-Mart (WMT*)...
but I blew it... I want TGT in the
Sell Block. And, if you want
another retailer, join me in
my charitable trust... Swap
into Wal-Mart*...

Q:
Have you by any
chance been
following CALM
lately?
After
approaching (and
briefly
exceeding) their
52-week-high, it
seems like the
shorts have
really targeted
this stock, with
short interest
equal to 96% of
the float for
this stock.
How should I
play this as an
individual
investor?
How would you
assess the
liklihood of a
short squeeze
developing here?
Jim:
It is already a
short squeeze,
sir. Now,
I know that we
had Richard
Bond, who's the
CEO of
Tyson Foods (TSN)
yesterday and
the egg business
is a good
business, but
CALM is a short
squeeze, and
that's why you'd
play it...
you're trying to
game a short
squeeze...
that's always
too hard for
this guy.
Q:
Regarding your
comments about
EBAY's changes
in pricing...
Did you happen
to see the worst
part of it?
Starting this
fall, as part of
the move, checks
and money orders
will no longer
be accepted on
eBay's
electronic
checkout.
Won't that be
knocking out the
very people that
really need to
shop on eBay?
Jim:
Now, here's the
deal... EBAY's a
troubled
company. I
don't really
understand what
they're up to,
but you're
absolutely
right.
Anything that
would try to
eliminate more
customers is
exactly the
opposite of what
they should do.
This company has
made so many
wrong turns, it
is frightening.
And the fact
that John McCain
is being advised
by Meg Whitman
(CEO) is also
frightening...
Q:
Is now the time
to get into
SBUX.
Howard Schultz
(CEO) seems to
be making good
changes that
very well could
turn the
company, and its
stock, around
over the next
year or so.
I'm wondering
what advice you
could give those
of us who are
thinking of
buying SBUX
right now.
Jim:
I'll tell you
exactly what my
advice is.
I told it to
Howard Schultz
himself
personally.
At $15, I said
the stock's done
going down.
I want to buy
the stock.
I think it's
going to be an
18-month
turn(around).
I think it could
be similar to
the turn that
McDonald's
(MCD*)
had, and that
took a long,
long time, and
no one believed,
but then it
started. I
don't know when
it's going to
top... but $15
is my floor, but
I would start
buying SBUX and
I do believe in
Howard Schultz,
and he is always
welcome on Mad
Money.
Price target to
buy SBUX:
$15.00

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.
