Full Company Name/Comments
(see comments above for each)

CHL

85.44

85.99

China Mobile Limited (CHL)

CHL -  CHL, Baidu.com Inc. (BIDU), Focus Media (FMCN), and Petro China (PTR) are, yes indeed, The Four Horsemen of China... and I am sticking by them, even though I know that BIDU lost its CFO.  But CHL is probably the best of the best right now.  I think you should pull the trigger here.  I am not afraid of China doing well - buy, buy, buy!...  In other words, I am not one of those guys who think that China's played out.  I still like China and I like your pick.  I would pull the trigger right now!

TDW

56.25

55.52

Tidewater Inc. (TDW)

TDW -  No.  TDW is one that is just not a great driller.  We have identified the great drillers on this show, and I will repeat that our favorite remains Transocean (RIG*), which I own for my charitable trust, which has now doubled.  We also like  Schlumberger (SLB).  Halliburton (HAL) was one of my stocks of the year.  We're re-recommending that, because it's got a natural gas play...  If you saw FMC Technologies (FTI), which I re-recommended at $55, we got a nice spike today off an Angola contract.  I still like Core Labs (CLB), and I still like Oceaneering International (OII)...  Frankly... frankly... if you can't find one among those, then you've got to change the channel!

OII

QCOM

37.90

37.39

QUALCOMM Inc. (QCOM)

QCOM -  You should be (concerned about QCOM)... QCOM is basically a law firm...  I am just shocked that QCOM does nothing but just fight in lawsuits...  I don't care about intellectual property. Broadcom (BRCM) just won from them...   That thing is a sell, sell, sell!  And I don't like QCOM... Am I clear?...  

GLW*

23.13

22.91

Corning Inc. (GLW*)

GLW* -  This is an amazing stock... which I own for the charitable trust, because it pre-announced at $23, better than expected, and here we are back at $23... because it's part of the now-hated tech cohort...  I've got two things to say about GLW... One is that the Consumer Electronics Show... is going to witness... You'll see a lot of new flat-screen TVs that use GLW*'s technology... And, secondarily, they've got the fiber that shoots around the corner that
Verizon (VZ) is going to use...  And, basically, what I'm saying is that GLW* has got the best glass for TVs... it's got the best glass to be able to use the (Verizon) FiOS system, and the stock should be bought!  I've been saying, under $23, it is a screaming buy!  Buy, buy, buy!...

OESX

19.90

19.90

Orion Energy Systems, Inc (OESX)

OESX -  You know, let's not out-think this (about the energy recent bill passed by Congress)... I think you're going too extraneously.  When I think about energy, and when I think about natural gas... what comes to mind almost immediately is Ultra Petroleum (UPL)!  That's the way I want to play this energy bill.  Let's not out-think it... let's not out-think it...  

UPL

Ultra Petroleum Corp. (UPL)

PZE

14.47

14.49

Petrobras Energia Participaciones S.A. (PZE)

PZE -  You should buy this stock... you should buy this stock.  I know PZE.  I've got to tell you... I like Brazil so much.  Brazil is like what we should be... They've got a good budget.  They actually cut their taxes... They are absolutely on fire.  Their bond rating goes up.  Their currency's fantastic!  They are what we should be!  And that stock is what you should be in... I also like Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR) too.  Ken Heebner, recommended here (in
the new book,) as my #1 mutual fund, is buying PBR too.  He's buying the PBR... I like that stock... I like your play.

PACR

13.72

13.61

Pacer International Inc. (PACR)

PACR -  Holy cow, am I going to be stumped... Yeah, this is one of those logistics companies, and I've got to tell you something... Logistics is very tricky, after what happened with Yellow Freight and United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS)...  Stay out, stay out...  PACR... We need to do work, before I opine...  

 

       

APD

97.46

96.82

Air Products & Chemicals Inc. (APD)

APD -  Absolutely, but that (helium growth constraint), but that means price be going up.  I like APD so much.  Remember, that was also one of my $80-to-$120 plays.  That stock is smokin', smokin', smokin'!... (buzzers sounds). That's a company from my hometown, and I think the world of that company, and I think that people should be buying APD, at $97, going to $120.

Price target:  $120.00

AXA

39.55

39.25

AXA (AXA)

AXA -  Look, I've got to tell you, if you're going to own a financial, and it's a broker, it's going to be Goldman Sachs (GS*), which I own for my trust... and, if it's going to be a bank, it's going to be Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK), and I am not going to endorse AXA.  I just can't do it.  Not that they aren't a well-run institution... It is just too unknowable... un-analyzable for me... So I can't get behind AXA.  I just don't have the knowledge base... No one has the knowledge base, is what I'm saying... It's just too hard to determine.

GS*

SI

155.99

154.23

Siemens AG (SI)

SI -  SI is one of my absolute favorite stocks... I love the Germans... Remember, I like BASF, and I like SI... and I also, by the way, like Unilever plc (UL) and I like Deutsche Telekom (DT)... Even I'm warming up... you know I like Vodafone (VOD), but the bottom line is that SI is a keeper.  I would stay with it.

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.
