Q:  
  I have grown to really like you and the hard work you do for all of us but, after watching your show I ma more than a little concerned for you. I am a mental health therapist and I noticed how stress your face looked and how very, very fast (faster than usual) you were moving and talking. I am wondering if there is something you coud do for that? More sleep, more relaxation, and being kind to yourself. You are a good man... I can see that. Please understand I'm just writing out of concern for you. I'm sure the market makes you nuts, but don't let it eat you alive. Stay with us... we need you!


JJC:
     Yeah, it's completely eating at me... I'm consumed by it. I take it personally. There is nothing about this show that is not real life for me... and sometimes I wish I were an actor, but it's for real. I'm used to being in the arena. I've taken a lot of... I call it the Kessle Ring, by the way... it's a cauldron that I always feel like is boiling around me. I've been able to hand 1000-degree temperature. It's not going to be any different this time. I will be there for you... I will be there. Don't worry. I appreciate that you're worried, and you're not alone... a lot of people worry about me. Stop worrying about me. Worry about the people who are hurting, worry about the people who are foreclosed.

Q:  
  I am confused. Where does the money come from for FDIC insurance when a bank fails? If FDIC insurance was increased, is the taxpayer actually increasing their liability in case of a bank failure?

JJC:
     No, it comes from bank fees, so that's okay... They can print money. They can do whatever they want. It's solvent. The FDIC is doing a good job. They can raise the fees if they want to.

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.
