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

NTE

9.17

9.23

Nam Tai Electronics Inc. (NTE)

NTE -  (Caller said he was in a house of pain with NTE)...   JJC:  I'm not letting you out of that house of pain.  That is just a place where you're going to have to exit yourself...  I mean, you could be foreclosed in that house of pain, that's how bad that is.  You want LCD (liquid crystal display technology)?  You go to Corning (GLW*)...  Now, GLW*, which I own for my trust, hasn't been doing much, but the fundamentals are great, and I feel better about being in that one than I do about being in NTE.
 

GLW*

23.31

23.54

Corning Inc. (GLW*)

See NTE comments above for:
GLW*
 

RHD

19.28

19.23

RH Donnelley Corp. (RHD)

RHD -  Oh, why did you ruin a perfect relationship with one bad stock?...  Sell, sell, sell!...  Man!... The house of pain... You've got to get out of that one right now!  Because it's white-yellow pages... there's nothing here.  It's a wasting asset...  Now, I know I'll get nasty letters, like from Pabst Blue Ribbon beer (here, Jim is referring to his use of Pabst Blue Ribbon, as a way to remember the ticker during his last recommendation for Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR)...  but I don't care, because you can't eat a yellow pages anyway (?)...  I want you to sell that stock nine ways to Sunday, and then call me back, and see if we can't get something going.
 

C*

26.21

26.58

Citigroup (C*)

C* -  All right, I own it for my charitable trust...  It's been a mortifying and embarrassing situation.  I thought they were going to fire Chuck Prince (former CEO of C*) a year ago, and the stock would just spring back, as if by magic...   But no...  Here's the deal... This is a company that needs every bailout... It needs the financial insurers to get money...  It needs the FHA to guarantee every mortgage... and then you're going to have a big run... But it is not going to go until all those other things happen... so, don't buy, don't buy...  right now it's don't buy. 
 

MASI

30.65

30.93

Masimo Corporation (MASI)

MASI -  It had a huge pullback... And, you know what?  The fundamentals are really good for this medical device company.  I say you pull the trigger (buy) and get some back in.  The business is great. 
 

HOG

38.96

38.92

Harley-Davidson, Inc. (HOG)

HOG -  No.  Other than my friend, Michael Haley, who's got one in Summit (New Jersey, where Jim lives), I see nothing cooking at all. Sell, sell, sell...  I have really not liked that stock for about 15 points, and I reiterate (buzzer sounds)... Sell, sell, sell, sell, sell... 
 

PBCT

17.08

17.25

People's United Financial Inc. (PBCT)

PBCT -  Second-best, after Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK)... Very well-run, very conservative, but I do like HCBK better...
 

HCBK

16.22

16.39

Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK)

See PBCT comments above for:
HCBK
 

MEA

11.66

11.88

Metalico Inc. (MEA)

MEA -  You know, this is scrap metal... Well, scrap metal, I've got to tell you, Nucor (NUE) bought a scrap metal company, and I like Schnitzer Steel Industries Inc. (SCHN)...  I will endorse MEA... 
 

SCHN

60.84

61.60

Schnitzer Steel Industries Inc. (SCHN)

See MEA comments above for:
SCHN

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.
