WFMI |
39.38 |
39.57 |
Whole Foods Market Inc. (WFMI)
WFMI - I am worried
about WFMI from an earnings
basis... I'm worried about
the challenge from a company
like Safeway Inc. (SWY)...
which has become very
natural-food-oriented and, let
me tell the truth... I'm worried
about a private company called
Trader Joes... that I think
could slash to ribbons the
margins of WFMI... The
WFMI?... No, no, no... Sell,
sell, sell...
|
|
 |
SGP* |
19.77 |
19.98 |
Schering-Plough Corp. (SGP*)
SGP - The selling is
indeed relentless, and I happen
to own it for
my charitable trust... I've
been picking at it under $20,
but I have a higher basis (i.e.,
the average price paid, overall
all the individuals buys that
were made in the past)...
Here's what's been going on...
People are very concerned that
Vytorin, which is the joint drug
that they have with
Merck (MRK),
is going to be pulled from the
market, because of problems with
one particular study that was
done, that people are concerned
about. I'm not nearly as
concerned that it will be
pulled. The FDA is
reviewing it, in full
disclosure... I actually
believe the scrips - short for
prescriptions - will not be down
that much. I get daily
prescriptions, and I think it's
okay. SGP* does report
next Tuesday. Let's hear
what they have to say, and see
if I'm not all washed up, or I
know what I'm doing!

MA |
205.61 |
207.08 |
Mastercard
(MA)
MA - MA reported a
MAGNIFICIENT quarter.
There wasn't a single fly on it.
We know the Visa deal's going to
eventually happen. Here's
my take on MA... If you own it,
you can continue to own it, but
you should have sold some... you
should have locked in the gain.
We first started recommending it
from $60, down to $40... If you
haven't taken any off the table,
bulls make money, bears make
money, and hogs get
slaughtered... If you want
to buy it, you need to wait for
a pullback. If you get a
pullback, you can
pull the
trigger. I just don't want you
to buy it up here, at $205, with
such a bad stock market that we
have now.

WCG |
49.80 |
50.75 |
WellCare Health Plans, Inc.
(WCG)
WCG - I think they're
putting their problems behind
them... They had problems
with management, and with some
investigations... I
think the problems are being put
behind them but, don't buy,
don't buy... I still would
rather own best-in-show,
WellPoint Inc. (WLP),
and I've got to tell you, I
think it's moved up from where I
liked
Humana Inc. (HUM)...
HUM's going to have a great year
too. I like them both.
I'd rather go with best of
breeds, than I would with one
that seems that it's on the
rebound...

COP* |
75.38 |
75.38 |
ConocoPhillips (COP*)
COP* - Yes I do!
(think it's going to bounce
back)... I bought some at $70
for
my charitable trust. I can't
flip things. It then ran
up to $79. Let me tell you
the truth about COP*... It's got
the right amount of refining,
it's got the right amount of
natural gas - which you know I
think is the fuel of the future,
and those stocks are red-hot -
and it's got the right amount of
oil, under its panoply...
Now, let me give you one other
thing... I think they're
drilling and they're finding...
I'm not concerned about
Venezuela. I think COP* is
the cheapest of the majors, and
I endorse it wholeheartedly...
|
|
 |
SXE |
24.89 |
25.24 |
Stanley, Inc. (SXE)
SXE - You know, I
don't know Stanley,
Incorporated... I know
Stanley Works (SWK),
but I do not know SXE...
You have stumped the chump, my
friend, and I have got to go
back to the well, and do some
work on SXE... And, just so you
know, the women... the
Smart Women Securities (SWS)...
that women's group... they
stumped me, and I'm finally able
to talk about what they wanted.
So, give me a little time on
SXE, and I will come back...

SIRI |
3.19 |
3.18 |
Sirius Satellite Radio
Inc. (SIRI)
SIRI - I want you to
stay with SIRI. Now, a
very important anniversary is
coming up... When we get
to Feb. 19, what that means is,
we will now be longer than it
took to approve the Exxon/Mobil
transaction. And, when we
get there, I will give you a
full group of people who are
standing in the way, not to
mention the big-time radio
companies, like Cumulus,
Intercom, Clear Channel - which
is still trying to close that
deal - Emmis... I think that
there are companies that need to
stop that deal (i.e., proposed
merger with
XM Satellite Radio (XMSR))
to stay alive, and we're going
to fight them, hammer and
tongs!...
|
|
|
URBN |
30.31 |
30.31 |
Urban Outfitters (URBN)
URBN - We hold it!
You know why? Because the
estimates are too low. I
think the world of the
company... (buzzer sounds)...
|
|
|
SVVS |
19.74 |
19.71 |
SAVVIS Inc. (SVVS)
SVVS - Yeah, I know
SVVS, and I'm not a fan.
I'm not a fan... This is one of
these companies that's an
outsourcing network company.
Very hard to understand, not my
favorite... I am going to
skip over that and, to tell you
the truth, I'd rather own a
Whack-A-Mole machine, than I
would own SVVS...

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. |
