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

BEAV

36.03

36.12

BE Aerospace Inc. (BEAV)

BEAV -  That company came out today and told a great story!  It was up a couple (of points) in a bad market...  Remember, they make the seats for Boeing Co. (BA), okay?  They make the seats for everybody.  This is a premier aerospace play.  Like Honeywell (HON), I like BEAV.  Use the weakness to buy. The stock is well off its high.  Obviously, let it come in before you buy it.  It was up $2 today, but I like it.   
 

SI

127.08

129.64

Siemens AG (SI)

SI -  You want to stay in SI.  SI is a high-quality German company.  The German companies are doing better than our companies.  I want you to hold onto it.  Understand, this whole market is under a huge amount of pressure, but I do believe that that situation is just a great long-term situation... and I don't use that term very often, because that's usually gobbly gook, to say long term...  I like SI.
 

GS*

163.60

163.91

Goldman Sachs (GS*)

GS* -  I bought some GS* for the first time in about a year and a half today.  Every single estimate has now been cut... every single one.  When Wachovia cut today, we're all down $2 bucks... we're all decided that Lloyd Blankfein should be fired... Well, you know what?... I think the company's earnings are going to be okay.  Nothing to write home about, but the stock's down too much.  I have bought for my trust... I bought 100 shares.  I sold 500, above $200.  I am beginning to pick back at it, just for my trust.  I do it only for charity...
 

SLB

84.55

85.01

Schlumberger (SLB)

SLB -  I like oil service.  The stock was down two smackers.  I like Transocean (RIG) too.  I wish I hadn't sold it for my charitable trust...  Everybody and his brother is saying, "the oil move is over, the oil move is over..."  Do you know that not a single person, other than yours truly, actually thought that oil would actually go above $100?  Now, everybody is saying it's over, it's over, it's over, because it was down below $100...   I am telling you that oil is going to $125.  I am telling you that I predicted $100.  I am telling you this is one of the things that I got right...  Those who are running from oil, and think it's a bear market... they're wrong!  I like SLB.  I just wish that Gould (CEO) had been more positive on the conference call.  It's a little like Diana Schiff... I would rather see you in RIG.
 

RIG

136.85

137.24

Transocean Inc. (RIG)

See SLB comments above for:
RIG
 

SGR

62.76

63.38

Shaw Group Inc. (SGR)

SGR -  Absolutely... you know, this is another one!  SGR is good.  You have to know, there are two kinds of infrastructure.  There are the ones that rely on the municipal, which is URS Corp. (URS) and, to some degree AECOM Technology Corp. (ACM) - although they tell me it's not true... And, there's the SGR and some of the others which actually rely on big-time, worldwide projects... Jacobs Engineering (JEC)... and that's what I want to be in... That's what I want to be in.
 

JEC

80.15

80.50

Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. (JEC)

See SGR comments above for:
JEC
 

 

       

DBD

37.68

37.41

Diebold Inc. (DBD)

DBD -  We are not arbitragers... They have made their move at United Technologies (UTX)...  We want to sell!  Sell, sell, sell!  We've got better fish to fry, my friend...
 

MELI

35.87

36.73

Mercadolibre, Inc. (MELI)

MELI -  Earlier I said I was right about oil... so, wait a second, you big, dumb moron (he calls himself)... then why did you like MELI?...  Well, you know what?  This was a company that was going to do a secondary... They did not beat the quarter, like I thought they would.  They met it.  I agree with you, I think this is a good level.  I have been red-hot about Latin America, and this is one that didn't work for me...  All the others did, frankly, and this one didn't, but I'm sticking by my bullishness...  
 

KRY

2.04

2.00

Crystallex International Corp. (KRY)

KRY -  You know, you've got a guy down there... (buzzer sounds)...  that lunatic that's running Venezuela, who likes to give away his oil...  That guy is... well, let's just say he's not my cuppa tea...  So, he's the reason why KRY is now win.  He is really a serial destroyer of everything, including his own darn country.  However, he's a sharp dresser! 
 

EQT

62.38

62.98

Equitable Resources Inc. (EQT)

EQT -  I love it, my friend... I absolutely love it, and you're right.  And you know I think that complex is great.  And I love the fact that all the bears came out of the woodwork today, and said that Cramer's dead wrong.  I have been so dead right about natural gas, frankly... it's frightening.  I want to stick with EQT...

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.
