(see comments above for each)

FWLT*

67.96

67.71

Foster Wheeler (FWLT*)

FWLT* -  Two things... first of all, you're right.  You never want to get over-confident.  The market is incredibly difficult.  We do want people to be poised enough and confident enough to be able to deal with it... FWLT, I just started buying it today for... my charitable trust...  I suffered some lumps lately, like everybody else, but I've seen this stock decline 23%, and I thought it was time to pull the trigger...  Ray Milkovich (CEO) stood right here... He talked about the possibility of trillions of dollars of contracts, which they're going to win their fair share, mostly in the Mid East... I think you're right.  I think you started at the right level.  I know I put some on (i.e., bought some), and I want to going to work it down... and I congratulate you for staying in the game. 
 

UA

41.79

36.82

Under Armour, Inc. (UA)

UA -  UA's doing a classic bounce off a really bad quarter.  We've seen this time and time again...  I think UA is spiking up, because it got sent so much down.  But, in the end, when they blow the quarter, the way UA did, they are in the long-time penalty box...  I mean, like injured reserve!  I don't mean like three minutes for fighting!
 

EMR

50.31

50.31

Emerson Electric (EMR)

EMR -  When I look at what's right in this country, I look at companies like Eaton (ETN) and EMR and United Technologies (UTX)...  I look at these great American industrials, including Honeywell (HON)...  Here's the deal... These are the kinds of companies that make you say, why is the Fed cutting?  EMR's en fuego... And the answer is, it has nothing to do with EMR.  EMR's just a great American company doing its thing...  I like that stock.  I would buy it here, and I would buy it off that Fed rate cut, aggressively.  I want you in EMR!
 

FLEX

11.41

11.41

Flextronics International Ltd. (FLEX)

FLEX -  You mean the FLEX-man?... How about that massive upside surprise that we've been saying is good... Buy, buy, buy!... And let me tell you something... That 10% move?... That's just the beginning... You don't get one great quarter like that FLEX...  There are going to be tons of good quarters.  I want you to pile in.  I want you to be in FLEX!  It has gone from being this... the house of pain... It has changed its address... to this... the house of pleasure.
 

WMI

31.14

31.14

Waste Management (WMI)

WMI -  Yes!  It's really a GDP (i.e., gross domestic product) play, believe it or not.  We produce more trash than anyone...  GDP toughed today, I believe.  I think you buy WMI.  I was looking at Republic (RSG) too.  That's a two-fer.  I like that group. 
 

RSG

34.58

29.42

Republic Services Inc. (RSG)

See WMI comments above for:
RSG
 

 

PTR

137.28

137.28

Petro China (PTR)

PTR -  I like PTR!  I know, I read the articles.  It's come down more than 40%... whatever... I think you use the pullback in China to buy.  PTR's one of my favorites (buzzer sounds)... You know I also like Focus Media (FMCN) ahead of the Olympics... I'm working on some other Chinese names...  I will endorse PTR.  On this discount, it's worth buying.
 

FMCN

44.06

44.06

Focus Media (FMCN)

See PTR comments above for:
FMCN
 

ETFC

4.60

4.60

E*TRADE (ETFC)

ETFC -  I didn't think a lot (of upside was possible), but I saw the insider buying, including Don Layton, who's a really good guy, and I know...  I am going back over this.  I cannot believe this one is moving but, you know what?...  When the Fed cuts, rising tide lifts even the leakiest of boats.  Though, I am not in favor of ETFC.  I've got a lot of other troubled plays that I don't mind, but I have to admit, I am surprised.  All that insider buying makes me rethink my negativity.  Look, if you own it, you can stick 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.
