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

GME

50.24

50.44

GameStop Corp. (GME)

GME -  What we had said in GME was that there was a buying opportunity ahead of Christmas, and you had to sell it right before Christmas, because we all knew that 'Guitar Hero' and 'Rock Band'... GME is good, but it's not great here, because the trade has occurred.  We now have to wait, literally, another 8 months before we can do the trade again...  So, we're in the 'don't buy'...  We do like the long-term secular growth story but, remember, because 'Guitar Hero' had a new one, and 'Rock Band' came out... and Nintendo had Wii, everything was going on all cylinders on this.  We do not have that anymore...
 

NYX*

69.80

70.29

NYSE Euronext, Inc. (NYX*)

NYX* -  You know, I own this for my charitable trust...  I cannot tell you how many sleepless nights this one stock has given me... Here's the deal...  The quarter was awful.  I think Duncan Niederauer (new CEO) just started.  He only had one month of the quarter.  We have to give him a chance.  I think he was given a bad hand by John, Merrill Lynch (where he is the new CEO), Thain... And, you know what?  They did not take the costs out... they did not get the expenses down.  It was a bad quarter.  I would have recommended, and I did... told to sell some at $78-79...  At $69, I'm digging in my heels.  I think it can go to $63...  At $63, it would finally be really cheap, based on my new lower earnings.  So, I feel like there's about $6 down, and maybe about $12 up.  That's not a great risk/reward, but I am not going to sell it down here... I am not.  Don't buy, don't buy... But I am not going to tell you to buy it, until it gets to $63.

Price target to buy:  $63.00 
 

ACI

54.76

55.01

Arch Coal Inc. (ACI)

ACI -  I read the Duke Energy (DUK) conference call... and it was incredible!... And they just said, listen, we are going to have coal emission standards a year from now and, in the meantime, coal is going to be shipped to everywhere, because there is a worldwide coal shortage.  ACI is the winner in that...  as is Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU)...  And, by the way, can I also tell you that there's an iron ore shortage.  And a stock that we have just loved, loved, loved on this show, Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) is another way to play it.  So those are all steel plays and export plays, and I like ACI for export.  I did blow that when I thought it was going to be too high, because of no emission standards...  
 

BTU

56.52

57.48

Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU)

See ACI comments above for:
BTU
 

CLF

116.29

117.07

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (CLF)

See ACI comments above for:
CLF
 

FSLR

189.64

193.70

First Solar, Inc. (FSLR)

FSLR -  C'mon... get some confidence.  FSLR is going to do great.  Oil is going back up...  One of my friends asked me today, what did I think of SunPower (SPWR)...  I said, nothing's as good as FSLR, because FSLR has real earnings and I think you could have a big upside surprise.  You're fine.  As a matter of fact, I would pull the trigger, and buy another five or 10 shares if you can get that in.
 

ERJ

44.15

45.71

EMBRAER (ERJ)

ERJ -  Now, wait a second...  You know we recommended everything in Brazil, other than this guy... I didn't want to recommend anything that had to do with airlines, and Boeing (BA) had been a very tough stock...  Can I just say, though, that America Movil (AMX)... Oh man!  What a smokin' stock!  CVRD (RIO), what a smokin' stock!...  I'm not going to endorse yours.  Don't buy, don't buy... I've got too much going on in Brazil already with just way too many positions that I've added for Brazil, so I want to wait.
 

NOV

60.10

60.00

National Oilwell Varco (NOV)

NOV -  Now there was this call... When they did their conference call, they actually did not put a great spin on it, and they made it sound like that maybe we topped out, like Schlumberger (SLB)...  I say that's wrong.  I was trying to figure out whether I should pull the trigger on NOV for (the charitable trust)...  I think they low-balled... I think they sandbagged...  I think you're in great shape, NOV... You can't get enough rigs.  If you listen to any conference call, there are not enough rigs.  Like, go listen to the Nabors (NBR) conference call, which is really bad... and I would tell you, NOV's in the hot seat... They're in really great shape.
 

LVLT

2.85

2.85

Level 3 Communications Inc. (LVLT)

LVLT -  LVLT reported a good quarter with good cash flow, but it was only the first quarter of many... I have a long-term belief that Jim Crow - unfortunate name, good guy - will indeed pull this company out of the morass and vortex that it's in...  I'm sticking by LVLT, but I want to see one more good quarter, before I really go whackamole on it, okay?...
 

SHW

54.96

55.57

Sherwin-Williams Co. (SHW)

SHW -  That's an up stock... Now, understand, everyone's now saying that no one wants to re-do their house, to make their house look better...  This stock has come down 8 points.  I say you schnitzel some, and get a little in here.  I think SHW is a winner.
 

NVT

74.60

74.60

NAVTEQ Corp. (NVT)

NVT -  GPS... I say GPS has peaked as a theory... Sell, sell, sell...  No...  I don't want to be in NVT...  And, remember, this is... what you're really getting is Nokia (NOK), because this company's being acquired, and I'm not an arbitrager.  I don't like Garmin Ltd. (GRMN) either.  I want to sell that group.  Although I do like NOK, if it could get back to $34... (now priced at) $36... Too high...  
 

GRMN

66.13

66.76

Garmin Ltd. (GRMN)

See NVT comments above for:
GRMN
 

NOK

36.13

36.87

Nokia Corp. (NOK)

See NVT comments above for:
NOK

Price target to buy NOK:  $34.00 or under
 

 

       

ATVI

27.03

27.28

Activision Inc. (ATVI)

ATVI -  I think ATVI's like GameStop (GME)... It's played out.  I love 'Guitar Hero 2'.  I think it's really good...  I'm in a don't buy mode, until it pulls back below $24.  And I know Bobby Kotick (CEO) comes on (and says) upside, upside, upside... but let's wait.

Price target to buy:  Below $24.00 
 

BSC

79.76

80.44

Bear Stearns (BSC)

BSC -  Hey listen, I didn't count on the Justice Department going all over them...  Here's the deal... he said that there could be indictments, and that just freaked out all the guys who would want to buy it.  I reiterate that Deutsche Bank (DB) would want to own that franchise.  And I just think that, as soon as the Justice Department thing's cleared up... and I do not believe they will indict the firm... (buzzer sounds)...  I think you stick with BSC.  I think this thing's going to clear up, and then they do get bought.  I'm reiterating that.
 

VZ

36.79

37.09

Verizon (VZ)

VZ -  Ivan Siedenburg is the CEO.  He's doing a monster-good job.  This stock has been completely and utterly hammered.   Comcast Corp. (CMCSA) reports this week.  It will probably take a few shots at Verizon FiOS...  Sanford Bernstein (analyst firm) has been saying bad things about Verizon FiOS... Me?  I think Ivan is going to boost the dividend... he's going to continue to buy back stock.  The stock is one of the cheapest.  I recommend - for people who want yield, they should be buying VZ, and I would put a little away for my kids...   Am I making VZ perfectly clear?... I would stick with Siedenburg...

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.
