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

MELI

47.05

40.86

Mercadolibre, Inc. (MELI)

MELI -  Look, the whole Latin America (market) sold off dramatically...  This is - and I repeat - this is the highest growth stock that I know.  The way you buy these things is that they get hammered, and then you buy, buy, buy... And that's what you shoudl do.  This stock does not trade off of the Federal Reserve...

AMAT

18.02

16.83

Applied Materials Inc. (AMAT)

AMAT -  No, no, no... Look, the stock looks like it's bottomed... absolutely.  I understand that.  But I say don't buy... don't buy, don't buy. A lot of people are buying it, because they think that the sun busines that they have - the solar business - which is embedded... will start kicking in...  Not yet.  In 2009, that is when we'll look at AMAT.

TYC

34.07

32.36

Tyco International Ltd. (TYC)

TYC -  I have been against it.  I have felt that that whole conglomerate was jiminy cricket, my friends... (?)... There wasn't anything in there that I particularly cared for.  I had a little trade there.  We made $3 bucks and then we ix-nayed... Sell, sell, sell... I think TYC should never have been put together, and the pieces still shouldn't be...  

AMGN

47.45

45.50

Amgen Inc. (AMGN)

AMGN -  Okay, AMGN is problematic here.  I would not be a buyer of AMGN.  I think that AMGN is finished.  It's got government investigations... it's got real problems with its book of business... it's got competition, and I think think that it is now my least favorite of the biotechs, so I want you to sell that stock... 

UPS

67.16

64.01

United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS)

UPS -  Yeah, UPS announced a really big buyback, and I really liked it, and then the stock got hammered... I say you have to buy this on a scale on the way down.  First stop, $65, then $63, then $60... If you want to buy 100 shares, do 25, 25, and then 50...  But don't pull the trigger until it gets below $65.

Scale-in buy points to buy UPS:
25% of your position - at $65.00
25% of your position - at $63.00
50% of your position - at $60.00

CY

22.70

20.66

Cypress Semiconductor (CY)

CY -  Love it... They report next week.  I think they're quarter's going to be very good...  People are selling it down, because they think that SunPower (SPWR) - owned by CY - has had it, because they genuinely believe that oil is going to $50 (cost per barrel)...  I don't think so.  I would be a buyer of CY, before it reports next week.  Let's pull the trigger on Tuesday for that one.

 

LLNW

6.86

6.39

Limelight Networks, Inc. (LLNW)

LLNW -  Oh geez... I don't know.  No, no... This is network systems... When we do content delivery network systems, I always favor - and you're probably going to say that it's not compatible - I  favor Omniture (OMTR) in that... But, you know, this is a very tough market for that stock.  I want to be very careful.

OMTR

27.10

23.38

Omniture Inc. (OMTR)

See LLNW comments above for:
OMTR

IMA*

55.24

52.19

Inverness Medical (IMA*)

IMA* -  I have scaled back IMA* to a more core position for (my charitable trust)... Why have I scaled back?... Because it's a high-multiple stock, and people are not buying... (buzzer sounds)... I feel like that stock is a... let's just say it's in a neutral zone.  If it got below $50, I would re-buy all the stock that I sold...

NMX

97.30

88.66

NYMEX Holdings Inc. (NMX)

NMX -  Take the profit!  You got the nice gain... I think the stock goes up a little more on Tuesday... and then go, just go... I think that people are waiting forever for a takeover bid, and they're not going to get it.

RIG*

128.14

121.52

Transocean Inc. (RIG*)

RIG* -  Okay, here's what you want to do.  Let's be very careful here...  RIG* is not    Schlumberger (SLB)... It's all international, it's all deep water, except for a few that they picked up with GlobalSantaFe... Here's my take on RIG*... I think RIG* can be owned, but it's going to be bumpy, because SLB was so bad today...  So, stick with RIG*... 

SLB

79.52

74.43

Schlumberger Limited (SLB)

SLB

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.
