Jim:    
We dodged a bullet today...

[Please accept our apology as this is the first time that our recording of the Mad Money show failed, and we are not able to fully recap tonight's episode...  We truly are sorry for your inconvenience, and we are taking measures to prevent it from happening again.]

Pick up a copy of John Kenneth Galbraith's,
The Great Crash of 1929... That should be required reading in this market.

Here's the bottom line...

.  .  .  .  .

The Bottom Line!:     We love the action at the end of the day, sure... But we want you to understand the worst case, which we desperately want to take off the table, but we have not removed yet. The administration - even though it's gotten better lately - played Herbert Hoover for far too long. And, unless they go further than they already have, in trying to rescue the economy, including Europe, we can't rule out the possibility of another 1929... Wow, hate to say that...

Final Segment 2 Title: '1987 Scenario'

.  .  .  .  .

Featured Stock(s): No new stock picks...
 
After this segment, you can see Jim's Sudden:Death picks here...
 


Jim:    
What do you do after the worst weekly drop in the Dow's 112-year history?...

Oh, okay... let's put our heads together... Now that the Dow intraday has reached my 8400 target... even as it came back up above that at the end of the close, and I'm heartened because of that end-of-the-day rally... it's time to change our incredibly negative bias...

Starting today, we're no longer in total, endless sell mode on these big down days like we've been ever since Dow 11,000 a month ago...

That's right, we're growing more constructive, after what was a 3000-point decline from the "take 20% off" call... and a 2000-point decline from Monday to Friday... Remember, again, the worst selloff since 1933... That makes us a little more constructive...

So what do we want to do?...

We want to rent some stocks now, and actually own some stocks, if the market (stabilizes).

[Please accept our apology as this is the first time that our recording of the Mad Money show failed, and we are not able to fully recap tonight's episode...  We truly are sorry for your inconvenience, and we are taking measures to prevent it from happening again.]

Here's the bottom line...

.  .  .  .  .

The Bottom Line!:     Even though today's late rally deviated from the 1987 scenario, it's still a possibility that the market will go down hard on Monday and maybe even harder on Tuesday for a bottom. Even if it doesn't, I want you to use some of that cash you've raised to start building positions in companies with high yields. That will be the new leadership... high yields that don't need to borrow to make money... that's the new leadership. Don't use your cash all at once though, because the 1929 scenario is still on the table.

Symbol keys:

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.
