IART |
42.12 |
na |
Integra Lifesciences (IART)
IART - Before we
start, let's just touch on one
that stumped me yesterday...
IART... We did some work on
it... But, I've got to tell you,
this one is a no-go for me...
It's got neurosurgery, spinal
surgery, and reconstructive
surgery... all good.
Medical surgery equipment, all
good... It reports
February 29th. Here's the
problem... It reported in
November and it was a really,
really bad quarter. And we
put it in the penalty box, and
the stock was just crushed...
10% decline... Until
we see a good quarter, we can't
pull the
trigger... So, ix-nay (i.e.,
nix)... Sorry...
|

|
MSO |
6.13 |
na |
Martha Stewart Living (MSO)
MSO - Let me just say
that she has built a remarkable
franchise. She's an
amazing woman... she owns
the space... Now, here's the
problem... It's a print space...
primarily print... and I
think that print is in long-term
secular decline... and, anyone
in print, I think, is going to
suffer, including MSO, so I
cannot recommend the stock.

F |

na |
Ford Motor Co. (F)
F - I like Alan
Mullaley (CEO), but I think the
turn is going to take a little
bit longer than I thought.
I think the Ford preferred is
the way I have been able to play
it... I like GM much more.
A very controversial call...
where I said GM has bottomed.
No one wants to believe it,
because the quarter was so
bad... Cost are going down...
medical costs are going down...
GM is a buy here. F is a
hold... Hey, listen to
me... There's a GM preferred
(Ed. note: Folks, we don't
know what this symbol is - we've
searched... ) that trades at $20
bucks. That's a really
good piece of paper. It
yields 10%. It can be
called at $25. Fabulous
for IRAs...

DRYS |
80.73 |
na |
DryShips, Inc. (DRYS)
DRYS - No, no, no...
We liked these stocks and then,
one day, we got totally shot
down by the CEO of
Diana Shipping (DSX),
and we've never gone back to the
well... I will tell you
this... If you think there's a
recovery, these stocks will
work. I don't see a
recovery near-term enough to be
able to make that stock work for
me.

FMCN |
46.58 |
na |
Focus Media (FMCN)
FMCN - I'm trying to
get my arms around China...
China has been letting me down.
I recommended BIDU and then it
went up. I've got to take
that one off the table...
FMCN, I thought, is a great
advertising play, ahead of the
Olympics... I don't have
the visibility I want in China
right now. I'm going to
have to downgrade that to a
don't buy...

HBC |
72.28 |
na |
HSBC (HBC)
HBC - I think HBC... I
have to tell you, this is a
company that I'm very concerned
about. Why? Because I
think that they may have more of
this kind of credit problem than
everybody else has. They
have a huge deposit base.
I'm actually counting on them,
in the end, to buy
Washington Mutual (WM)...
they have the capital to do
that. But I can't
recommend any credit-based stock
right now on this show.
It's just too darn hard, and
I'll cost people money. I
recommended
UBS AG (UBS)
not that long ago, and I never
thought it could go this low.
So I've got to be careful.
I am gun shy financials...

OCNF |
22.93 |
na |
Oceanfreight Inc. (OCNF)
OCNF - It's got a real
good dividend... it's got a
double-digit dividend... I
think the dividend is safe.
I will tell you that, if you
like dividends, and you want to
be in ships, that stock is a
good one... buy, buy, buy!...
Let's wait for a pullback.
They just declared that big
dividend.

SUP |
18.10 |
na |
Superior Industries (SUP)
SUP - Well, you know
that I liked SUP during the
first week of the show. I
tried to describe to people why
this auto parts company -
chiefly wheels - had bottomed...
(buzzer sounds)...
Unfortunately, the stock was at
$23, and the reason why this
stock went down was that the
auto business just really got
horrible. This is a very
well-run company, but I am only
recommending, the last two
years, one auto parts company,
and that's
Johnson Controls (JCI),
which makes seating... and
that's also because they own a
terrific climate controls
business. So I am saying
don't buy SUP - don't buy, don't
buy - and do buy JCI...

JNPR |
26.12 |
na |
Juniper (JNPR)
JNPR - JNPR's got a
lot of momentum right now.
I was on the call... The CEO...
they don't see any of the
weakness that
Cisco
(CSCO)
saw... So it's got a kind of a
premium to it. I am now
telling you that now we're
getting to the end of February.
I don't want to own tech.
I want to reiterate that I don't
want to buy CSCO and I don't
want to buy JNPR. I am
sorry. I don't want to own
these stocks.

IMA* |
44.39 |
na |
Inverness Medical (IMA*)
IMA* - All right, I
own IMA* for
my charitable trust... They are
making an acquisiton of a
company called Matria. May
I just say that I think that
acquisition is horrible. I
think they're overpaying.
I wish they weren't doing it.
It cost the company 12 points.
I think it's a shame. I'm
stuck. I believe that,
once the deal closes, maybe they
can rationalize it. But
this was a bad move by IMA*.
Long term, it will pay off, but
boy, it really hurt us. I
am not proud of that management
anymore. They screwed up
and they know it. I
welcome them to come on the
show, and explain to me how they
can give away so much money to
the Matria shareholders, after
that company has disappointed
and disappointed and
disappointed and
disappointed!...

WWE |

na |
World Wrestling Entertainment
(WWE)
WWE - You know, I've
got to tell you... I was on the
WWE conference call the other
day. It was a pretty good
story... It was a really good
story... A lot of
international finally coming to
fruition. We had Vince
McMahon (CEO) on the show.
He said international would be
the bet. They have a good
yield, they have a good growth
story. Domestic, not
so great... International
good... I want to buy WWE!
Buy, buy, buy...

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. |
