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

BAC

43.33

43.40

Bank of America (BAC)

BAC -  I waffle on BAC.  Why?  Because if the Fed doesn't cut rates, the Countrywide (CFC) acquisition's going to be cut...  I think in BAC, the dividend, I think's okay... but I've got to tell you, we need (Fed funds) rates down to 1.75% before I will ever press this again (buy, buy, buy), when it comes to BAC... don't buy, don't buy...
 

DAR

13.34

13.38

Darling International Inc. (DAR)

DAR -  Well, you know we nailed that one... you know we nailed Darling...  This was a company that we early-on recognized that, when we do alternatives...  52-week high... I believe maybe we are up close to 50%...  So, bulls make money, bears make money, hogs get slaughtered...  As much as I like DAR, I want you sir to take a little bit off the table...
 

AAI

8.97

8.96

AirTran Holdings Inc. (AAI)

AAI -  You know, I never recommend an airline stock on the show.  I know that one has done well.  I've just never done it, and I think I've saved a lot of people a lot of money... sell, sell, sell...  I'm not going to start doing it now, when I think oil's going to one-hundo... (i.e., $100)... I want you to sell the stock.
 

OXPS

25.70

25.83

optionsXpress Holdings, Inc. (OXPS)

OXPS -  I like that company...  Now, I've got to tell you, anything that is in the transaction processing world, and it's involved with options...  Look even CME (CME) came down a lot... so it's barely up today...  So, I have a proclivity to like the stock...  I think it's cheap... but I don't have a catalyst that will make it go higher...  So, let's just say, I like it, but I can't pull the trigger.  I don't have a story for it.
 

CSCO

24.06

24.07

Cisco (CSCO)

CSCO -  It's fine... CSCO's fine...  You know, CSCO is like a lot of tech stocks that I really like here.  It's fine.  But, again, when I say I have no catalyst, we're going into the seasonally weak period of tech.  I think CSCO trades $23... $26...  $23...  I have no edge.  I can't recommend it, because I don't have a reason to put you in the stock, so I'm saying don't buy CSCO.  Don't buy, don't buy...
 

AIG

45.52

45.45

American International Group (AIG)

AIG -  I put Marty Sullivan (CEO) on the Wall of Shame last week, because... I've got to tell you, that AIG... It was stunning news... It was stunning news that they had all this exposure.  I read through the 92-page disclosure... and I was shocked to see how calm they were... this came out two months ago... telling me they had no exposure.  I had gone out, and said it was a sell.  I put it in the Sell Block, because I had looked at it, and I could not figure out how much exposure they really had.  They came to me, and basically told me I didn't know anything, because they disclosed everything.  Well, who's got the last laugh?  Certainly not the shareholders...  I think the stock can go back to $50 and, when it gets there, you must sell it... sell, sell, sell!...  I don't know what this company owns, and they don't either!  Sell, sell, sell!...

Price target to sell AIG:  $50.00
 

SOL

12.95

13.34

ReneSola Ltd. (SOL)

SOL -  Chinese solar?  Man, we've got First Solar, Inc. (FSLR)... It's best in show, unbelievable quarter, doing everything right.  Let's not complicate it.  FSLR has been our choice from day one here, and we are not deviating from our best-of-breed strategy, as laid out in Jim Cramer's Real Money.  We buy the best-of-breed on this show.  We do not buy guys who are pretenders.  We buy the actualities...
 

FSLR

228.46

231.90

First Solar, Inc. (FSLR)

See SOL comments above for:
FSLR
 

BKS

30.88

30.97

Barnes & Noble (BKS)

BKS -  I happen to think the world of the people who run BKS... They are, by far, the best operator... But I have to tell you... I think that's a risky situation.  Why?  Because the book business has been very tough...  (buzzer sounds)... So, I can't do that, as much as I like the idea... Maybe if the stock goes to the mid-$20s, we can pull the trigger, but right now, the book business is really weak...

Price target to consider buying:  Mid-$20's
 

ENER

28.33

28.50

Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (ENER)

ENER -  It was good.  It's a renewable energy play.  It's got a nice battery technology.  I'm never going to fight that stock.  I think that company is cheap.  It's come down a lot.  I'm with you.  I would stick with ENER...

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.
