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

TRP

39.70

na

TransCanada Corp. (TRP)

TRP -  We've been behind TRP... It's good... it's got a nice yield.  It's got some growth... this has been a favorite of ours on Mad Money... I totally and unequivocally agree with you.  A good yield with growth is right up my alley.

JBL

15.07

na

Jabil Circuit Inc. (JBL)

JBL -  Here's the deal... If you want to do contract manufacturing, the stock that we've endorsed in that sector is Flextronics (FLEX).  It is down a $1.30 from where I first said to buy it, and I want to back up the truck on FLEX...  They have just been a consolidator of business.  They've got the business.  That's the one I want to be in.

FLEX

11.00

na

Flextronics International Ltd. (FLEX)

See JBL comments above for:
FLEX

SHLD*

100.23

na

Sears Holdings Corporation (SHLD*)

SHLD* -  SHLD* is a stock I own for my charitable trust...  At one point, I was up 100 points on it... So now, I'm still up on it... it finished up 3 points today, but I obviously committed the cardinal sin of round-tripping...  Why did I do that?  Because I believe in Eddie Lampert (CEO)... He is the chairman of the company... he is facing tremendous headwinds... but, by the way, so is J. C. Penney (JCP), and no one's knocking JCP, and their management... So is Lowe's (LOW), and no one's knocking them... I haven't heard a bad word about Home Depot (HD)...How about Chico's FAS (CHS)?... How about AnnTaylor (ANN)?... How about Talbots (TLB)?...  No!  But all we ever hear is that Eddie Lampert screwed up!  And you know what?  I'm tired of it!  I'm sticking with Eddie.  And, when things turn around, Eddie's going to make us a lot of money.  It's a $12 billion company.  It's the third-largest retailer in this country... And I am sorry to say this, but Eddie Lampert, whom I have known and have been a proud friend of since 1984... 24 years... What, has he had one or two losing years?... I'm sticking with Eddie! 

VRSN

35.59

na

VeriSign Inc. (VRSN)

VRSN -  VRSN has always been a company I've admired, but I am not going to recommend it, because it is not down as much as a lot of other tech stocks.  In this field, where tech is just crumbling, and everyone's scared of it, I think that I've got to go after a security stock that has much more... I've got to go with Symantec (SYMC) here, which is down a lot.

SYMC

15.57

na

Symantec (SYMC)

See VRSN comments above for:
SYMC

GMCR

41.14

na

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR)

GMCR -  It has been just a gigantic winner.  It is at its 52-week-high.  I like the company very much... 

SBUX

20.31

na

Starbucks Corp. (SBUX)

Comments continued on from GMCR above...

SBUX -  Let me just say this... I said I spoke to Howard Schultz (CEO) the other night on the phone...  He was not making promises about the stock.  He was just saying, look, I was right, and he wanted to tell me he is re-energized... I believe the environment - because of what this caller just said - the environment is much tougher, because of
McDonald's (MCD*)...  because of Dunkin' Donuts...  It's not like that thing's going to turn around immediately but, like I said about Eddie Lampert at Sears (SHLD*), I believe in Howard, but the turn is not going to be done tomorrow... So, those who are buying SBUX now.. remember... January 30th, we are going to hear horrible numbers (from SBUX) and then, I can tell you that I absolutely feel that you are going to be in a situation where we are not going to feel anything other than pain until we like it... 

ZION

43.73

na

Zions Bancorp. (ZION)

ZION -  I think some of the mid-range banks like ZION, like Huntington Bancshares Inc. (HBAN), like National City Corporation (NCC), like KeyCorp (KEY)... may not be good places, because they will not get big bids like I was hoping they would, because they're not going to get sovereign investment.  I think that that one is easily don't buy, don't buy, even though it's cut in half.

HBAN

12.65

na

Huntington Bancshares Inc. (HBAN)

See ZION comments above for:
HBAN

NCC

14.61

na

National City Corporation (NCC)

See ZION comments above for:
NCC

KEY

23.05

na

KeyCorp (KEY)

See ZION comments above for:
KEY

INTC

22.54

na

Intel Corp. (INTC)

INTC -  Well, yeah, actually it is (a good time to get into INTC - from the caller's question), because it was knocked down today, because  my friend, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo subpoenaed INTC on an anti-trust probe.  So this guy's got everything going... He's trying to put the Washington Mutual (WM) out of business... Of course he wouldn't say that... that's my predilection of how he's doing it...  But INTC?...  I know that the Justice Department has really shut down anti-trust, but INTC?...  Buy it.

SNP

140.45

na

China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. (SNP)

SNP -  You know I like Petro China (PTR).  I'm not backing away from that.  I'm not as close to your SNP... I believe in China as a market.  I don't think those controls are going to knock your stock down (buzzer sounds)... but I like PTR more, and I've got to stick with that...  Remember, I like Baidu.com (BIDU), I like Focus Media (FMCN), I like PTR, and I like China Tel (CHA)... and, I believe, next week, I may introduce a new Chinese name to go with that gang of four...

PTR

181.65

na

Petro China (PTR)

PTR

BIDU

339.54

na

Baidu.com (BIDU)

BIDU

CHA

90.85

na

China Tel (CHA)

See SNP comments above for:
CHA

CREE

26.44

na

Cree (CREE)

CREE -  CREE's always been very exciting to me, because it does the backlighting on screens, and it's in so many gadgets, but I've got to be very honest... I feel strongly that CREE's management isn't strong enough to make that company great, so I am going to tell you not to buy that one... don't buy, don't buy.

WMI

31.64

na

Waste Management (WMI)

WMI -  Look, it's a great recycling company; you're absolutely right but, in the end, it's very driven by capital spending.  Believe it or not, it's a gross domestic product play and the GDP is slowing, and so is that stock.  I don't want you to stick with that.

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.
