BSX |
12.24 |
12.10 |
Boston Scientific Corp. (BSX)
BSX - BSX is not my
favorite heart play. My
favorite heart play is
St. Jude (STJ*)
which, even though it
pre-announced, it is still below
where it pre-announced, which is
wrong! I say, no BSX... I
don't like that balance sheet...
Yes, to STJ*...

AVY |
50.57 |
50.25 |
Avery Dennison Corporation
(AVY)
AVY - Well, you know,
it's got adhesives and,
unfortunately, they're jacking up
the price on the raw costs...
That said, AVY has been a stock
that I've followed since 1982, and
I like it very much. It's
never really gone nuts to the
upside, but it's well-run
management. I think it will
work its way higher.
|
|
|
CY |
20.73 |
20.64 |
Cypress Semiconductor (CY)
CY - This stock has
had a spiral down like I cannot
believe. You know what?
We've got to call T.J. Rodgers
(CEO) back. We had him on,
we did our due diligence...
He said that all the businesses
were humming. You've have
the solar business too, that's
buried within it. I went out
on a limb and said to buy it.
I've been wrong. The limb is
sawed off...
We've got to get T.J. Rodgers
back. I don't even know... I
didn't think it was that bad a
quarter, I really didn't...
All the techs are selling off, but
we've got to find out more.
Make a note of that...

|
|
INFY |
39.94 |
41.90 |
Infosys Technologies Ltd.
(INFY)
INFY - Indian
consulting not working for me.
I recommended
Accenture (ACN)
as the way to play India...
I like ACN better.
Now, I also want to say that, last
night, I said I like
Tata Motors (TTM)...
but they may overpay for the
Ford (F)
division, Jaguar... I
want to be sure that people
understand that there could be an
event at TTM that may not be
good...

AKAM |
32.41 |
32.29 |
Akamai Technologies Inc.
(AKAM)
AKAM - I played AKAM
last year, because they do the
fast-motion video. AKAM
reported a great quarter last
night. I am thrilled to see
them back in action. By the
way, you know who else reported a
pretty good quarter - but only one
- is
Level 3
(LVLT)...
Those are both plays on excess
capacity, and how to put it
through the web. I like
AKAM, but I should have liked it
yesterday. LVLT... I need to
see one more good quarter of cash
flow, before I go out on a limb
again, since I got my head cut
off...
|
|
|
LFC |
56.24 |
55.88 |
China Life Insurance Co. Ltd.
(LFC)
LFC - That's not my
favorite Chinese play. I've
been recommending
Gushan (GU).
I like Focus Media (FMCN),
ahead of the Olympics... I think
that Baidu.com (BIDU)
is good down here. But I
will tell you that LFC is good.
I didn't like the financials when
it first started, but I think it's
a good play... That's
alright...

RVBD |
19.38 |
19.47 |
Riverbed Technology, Inc.
(RVBD)
RVBD - We recommended
it at $19-20, and said it was rock
bottom... Then, they
reported an unbelievably-great
quarter. The stock had flown
to $23, but the guidance they
offered was even more downbeat
than Cisco... Now the
stock's back to where we
recommended it. I still
believe. I think the
guidance was sandbagged... I think
the stock has got a floor here.
I want to buy RVBD. I like
their technology...

|
AXP |
46.45 |
45.90 |
American Express (AXP)
AXP - I don't think
we'll see the lows again (in the
financial stocks) but, I've got to
tell you, you're on one of my
least-favorite horses... I
feel like AXP has pretty much lost
its way... which I find
surprising. I mean, I'm a
cardholder. I don't know
anyone who isn't a cardholder...
I actually prefer
Capital One (COF)
to AXP. Their loss ratio is
not as bad as I thought.
They're buying back shares.
They're better than I thought...
Now, let me also emphasize, by the
way, that I think that - if you
want to play the financials - the
safest one is still
Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK).
I like
Wells Fargo (WFC)
here, and I'm warming up to
Wachovia Bank (WB),
because they raised the capital,
and I believe they're better than
Wall Street thinks!

TGI |
57.08 |
56.70 |
Triumph Group Inc. (TGI)
TGI - You know, ever
since
Boeing (BA)'s
been having problems with that
Dreamliner, and the parts and
supplies, I have had to pull in my
considerable horns on everything
(buzzer sounds) that goes into a
Dreamliner... Don't buy, don't
buy... everything that goes into
Boeing frankly. I cannot get
behind that stock one bit...

JBLU |
7.23 |
7.29 |
JetBlue Airways Corporation
(JBLU)
JBLU - No, you don't
need help with JBLU. I want
you to sell, sell, sell JBLU...
I don't think there's anything
there... Sell, sell, sell!...
You just had a really big run on
takeover talk. I don't want
to be there at all.

|
|
ESI |
81.28 |
81.26 |
ITT Educational Services Inc.
(ESI)
ESI - You know, I like
Apollo (APOL)
more than I like ESI. I like
it, but then APOL put up the
better numbers. Let's go
with APOL, and let's keep ESI on
hold. All right, let throw
in one... I think
ITT Corporation (ITT)
is absolutely terrific, and they
have got, I think, one of the best
product portfolios, for this stage
of the cycle, along with
Honeywell
(HON),
United Technologies (UTX),
and
Emerson (EMR).
All of those, I bless right here,
right now.

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. |
