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

BIDU

318.20

306.64

Baidu.com Inc. (BIDU)

BIDU -  BIDU's is an expensive stock that is in a Chinese market that is slowing down, but is... and it always over-reacts in the beginning...  How about we do this?... I have liked BIDU and I still like BIDU...  I don't want to be aggressive in China, because of what I saw today with a company called New Oriental Education (EDU), that was down - on an okay quarter... it was down 17 points on an $80 basis...  Let's do BIDU under $300, okay?  And, if you want to buy 100 shares, you buy your first 25 at $299.

Price target to buy:  Under $300.00

AB

65.28

64.09

AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (AB)

AB -  No, no, no man!  If you want to be in that game, you get in T. Rowe (TROW).  TROW was down $3 today.  It's down all the way to $49.  It has no exposure to these problems.  It's a fabulously-run company, and it's down more than any.  And why do I say that?  Because I was looking to recommend TROW tonight, as an example of things that have just been given up on...  and you stick with me, and you're going to hear TROW on Mad Money... That company is being thrown away.  AB and Legg Mason (LM) is bringing them all down.  They're in a bear market.  TROW's not.

Legg Mason Inc. (LM)

HRB

17.58

17.45

H&R Block, Inc. (HRB)

HRB -  It is down so unbelievably that I've got to tell you... people are thinking it's got to have some net worth... and, you know what?... I'm not done selling it!  I think that stock heads to $14.  I don't want you touching that...   Let's stay away from that one.

Price target for drop:  Down to $14.00

FCX*

94.84

92.99

Freeport-McMoRan (FCX*)

FCX* -  I don't like it short term... I own it for my charitable trust...  Longer term, I like it so much.  It's copper.  It's got some gold... But here's the deal... everyone feels there's a worldwide recession.  I sold some much higher.  I'm looking to buy some back, but I'm being very price sensitive...  I think FCX* could trade (down) to $85 or $87... and, only there, down from $94, will I want to buy it...

Price target to buy:  $85.00 - $87.00

BAM

31.20

30.68

Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (BAM)

BAM -  You know, everyone thinks that this company is the ultimate bad real estate, private equity play.  It's run by a really smart guy from Canada.  I think they're doing a good job.  But it's considered to be just a terrible stock in a bear market...  I think that sometimes you can put away a stock that could look like
a Warren Buffett stock, four or five years from now.  Let's not throw that away.

BA

77.86

77.81

Boeing Co. (BA)

BA -  Okay... BA's Dreamliner is late again.  Now we're beginning to feel that it's got a bit of an AirBus feel to it, meaning they can't deliver the product.  The stock was at $79 when the Wall Street Journal broke the story about it.  And it just got killed.  My feeling is that we've got to wait until the estimates come down again, in order to be able to buy more BA.  Why?  Because everybody thought Dreamliner would ship this year.  We're starting to get nervous about it, so let's be careful.

RF

20.34

20.28

Regions Financial Corp. (RF)

RF -  No... National City (NCC), RF, Marshall & Ilsley (MI)... Huntington Bank (HBAN)... Sovereign Bancorp (SOV)... All of these banks are being killed by this mortgage issue.  That is in an ultimate bear market, and let me reiterate that Downey Savings (DSL)... very worried... (buzzer sounds)... Corus Bank (CORS)...  I'm extremely, extremely worried...     BankUnited  (BKUNA)... I just think, you know, call the undertaker... Let's be really clear... Jimmy brought up a very interesting situation, which is a regional bank, and that's where the real pain is.  I don't want to touch it.

CC

3.60

3.54

Circuit City Stores Inc. (CC)

CC -  If you don't have anything good to say about something, don't say it...  so maybe get the implication that I think CC could be... the house of pain (and other bearish sound effects played by Jim)... a goner.   Don't stick with CC.

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.
