 |
POT |
120.15 |
133.10 |
Potash (POT)
POT - Too hard right
now... too hard.
Agriculture is under tremendous
pressure right here. I
would prefer you go with - if
you have to go with an ag stock
- I am starting to think that
the safer way to go is to buy
DuPont (DD).
Let me just tell you the pecking
order though... I now like
Archer-Daniels-Midland
(ADM)
more than I like POT... I
still like Agrium (AGU)
and Mosaic (MOS),
but they're the old leaders, and
they're going to be under a
little pressure here.
Let's be careful. The
long-term thesis is good.
The short term may be the house
of pain...

ECL |
47.37 |
47.58 |
Ecolab Inc. (ECL)
ECL - You are a lucky
man!... You're going higher!...
We've been liking ECL... We also
like Chemed (CHE)...
ECL is a nice anti-cyclical
stock that's just going to
continue to do well. I
would pick some up here on that
pullback that we had...

CHE |

Chemed Corp. (CHE)
See ECL comments above for:

|
 |
DLB |
40.51 |
40.65 |
Dolby Laboratories Inc. (DLB)
DLB - They have
crushed DLB. I don't know
what to do about it. All I
can tell you is is that DLB has
had a big run since we first
recommended it. It's had a
pullback, but it's kind of
neither here nor there...
I'm putting it solidly in the
don't buy, don't buy... sorry.
|
|
 |
KO |
58.87 |
59.16 |
Coca-Cola (KO)
KO - Now that's a
tough one, because KO's the
ultimate soft goods play, but
when we met with the CFO, we
felt very good about the
quarter. But it's too
defensive right now for people.
I think the quarter's going to
be great, but the multiple is
stretched... Here's what we do
with KO... If it goes under $55,
we don't even think about it...
but we don't look at it for six
months, because KO may do
nothing. But it is a great
stock to own longer term... It's
the kind of stock I would buy on
this discount for my kids.
Price target to buy: Under
$55.00

 |
HNP |
35.87 |
34.71 |
Huaneng Power International
Inc. (HNP)
HNP - Oh man, you need
to have a China power stock?
I've got my hands full here with
Exelon (EXC)
and Buckeye Partners (BPL)...
It's too hard... It's too hard.
Last night, I said, listen, it's
time that you can dip your foot
in
Baidu.com (BIDU),
and I was just deluged with
emails saying, you moron, you
idiot, you killer of capital...
But here's the deal... I think
BIDU is the only one I'm going
to go with and, if the rest of
the Chinese market comes down, I
will suggest
Focus Media (FMCN).

THC |
4.28 |
4.79 |
Tenet Healthcare
(THC)
THC - Yes!
That's ridiculous... C'mon...
This is a major situation that's
going to benefit from lower
interest rates. It's got
its act together. I
frankly don't understand how
this stock stays under $4, if
Hovnanian (HOV)
can be up a dollar and
Toll Brothers (TOL),
up $3... It's preposterous!
|
|
 |
WGOV |
55.71 |
56.94 |
Woodward Governor Co. (WGOV)
WGOV - Hey, WGOV had a
great quarter. It got
upgraded today by Bear... and I
think that WGOV is on the
comeback. I would
pull the
trigger right here.
That was really good. Of
course, the stock came down like
all the other industrials, but I
like the quarter.
|
|
 |
COP* |
71.73 |
72.52 |
ConocoPhillips (COP*)
COP* - I've been
trying to figure whether to
pull the
trigger on COP* for
my charitable trust, and, you
know, sure enough, it's at $69,
it looks absolutely horrible...
I'm like dying... I'm chokin'...
And then it's like, wait a
second... The stock was at $89.
Now it's at $69... It's right
down in a straight line... it
just reported a great quarter...
They're buying back stock
aggressively... I know the oils
are now hated... but do you know
that COP*, today, when it was at
$69, is at the exact same
price... the last time it was at
this price, oil was at $65 (a
barrel)... I do not feel that
COP* represents... (buzzer
sounds)... Now oil is in
the $80s, and COP* is back at
$69... Do we really believe...
do we honestly believe that oil
is going to $65? I don't.
I think you buy COP* right here.
Expect that it might pull back a
dollar. But, you know
what? Oil stocks have come
down too much. They've
come down much more than the
commodity, and I don't think the
commodity is going to go as low
as people think. So I'd
pull the trigger right now,
oils...
|
|
 |
UNH* |
50.35 |
50.37 |
Unitedhealth Group, Inc.
(UNH*)
UNH* - Darn it all,
they bought back something like
$2 billion worth of stock...
The numbers weren't that bad...
the medical loss ratio... I'm
tired of hearing about that.
Frankly, I thought it was a darn
good quarter. And, if
anyone was on the conference
call, they'd know that they just
stretched out some of the
earnings... It was outrageous
that that stock sold off so
much... outrageous! I
think that UNH* is the buy of
that whole group. I would
pull the trigger here, and I'm
tired of the analysts telling me
something that isn't true about
UNH*. I want stick with
UNH*!

opinion on stocks, as we
think it is indicated by his
comments during the show.

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. |
