Q:
You recommended
Tuesday that the
viewers who own
Schering-Plough (SGP)
should consider
selling, as you
did, in light of
the unrelenting
coverage of
Vytorin issues
by the press.
Since Vytorin is
a joint venture
with Merck, do
you recommend
selling MRK as
well?
Jim:
Uh, MRK is
actually I
think... the
stock's
anticipating
that the drug
will actually be
pulled from the
market.
It's not as big
a percentage of
the earnings as
it is for SGP.
Now let me
explain again...
I think SGP is a
great company...
I think MRK is a
great company...
I think the
press is way
over-doing these
problems... but
I think the FDA
is such a
political animal
that they, in
the end, will
bow to the
press, even
though they
shouldn't.
So, believe me,
I feel terrible
about having to
sell SGP.
But I can't pick
up the New York
Times every day
and get shot...
Q:
Should I be
worried about
all the insider
selling at IBM
and sell my
stock now?
IBM still seems
to have good
growth potential
for the next 12
months.
Jim:
I agree with
you...
This stock has
come down just
dramatically,
along with the
rest of tech.
I think it's
overdone...
I wouldn't be
surprised...
once again,
there's
tremendous
margin selling
in tech...
What's really
happened in tech
that's bad?
Dell Inc. (DELL)...
Well, IBM
doesn't have
competitor to
DELL, okay...
and
Corning Inc. (GLW)...
which is the
glass screen...
That's not
IBM...
They've taken
down the whole
group. I
think that's an
opportunity.
Q:
When you were at
Penn State, you
recommended CPL.
CPL recently
released
earnings that
were solid, but
down from the
previous year
and the stock
has been
plummeting.
My research
tells me that
the dividend
allows us to be
patient.
However, I could
be missing
something here
and your opinion
on this would be
really
appreciated.
Jim:
You get a 7%
yield in an
emerging country
that is much
more stable
fiscally and
financially than
we are. I
say you
pull the trigger.
Q:
VRTX, the maker
of Telaprevir,
was one of your
recommendations
during Biotech
Week. It
was downgraded
today by an
Oppenheimer
analyst.
Does the
downgrade
provide enough
influence to
switch out of
VRTX for
something like
Celgene Corporation (CELG*)?
Jim:
I've been buying
CELG* for
my charitable trust... Now
I'm frozen
unfortunately,
because I really
like it...
Bob Hugin, who's
the president of
CELG* has come
on the show many
times. I
like CELG*.
I like VRTX.
I thought the
Oppenheimer call
was really one
of those calls
that was like,
hey,
valuation...
no catalyst.
I think it's a
mistake though
to sell VRTX.
I think it's
terrific to buy
CELG*...
Q:
Signs say to buy
NSC. How
do you like NSC,
even though
CSX Corp. (CSX)
has the market?
What is the main
long-term
objective that
is driving
growth?
Jim:
I have to be
careful...
I think a lot of
the hedge funds
are in these
rails...
They scare me,
these hedge
funds... A
lot of them are
under
liquidation.
I prefer CSX to
NSC, because I
like Mike Ward
very much... he
was on our show.
Be careful
rails. I
don't like the
hedge funds that
are under
liquidation that
are big owners
of the rails.
It could be a
problem.
Not all of them
are under
liquidation.
I think some of
them are.

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.
