PFE |
22.04 |
21.98 |
Pfizer (PFE)
PFE - I know that we
had an interview with the CEO of
PFE. He's a very good
lawyer. May I just say for
the record that, every time a
lawyer runs a finance company or
a drug company, you want to sell
that stock
nine ways to Sunday...
That guy's not doing the job...
He's not up to the job. He
should give the job to somebody
else. That's okay... not
everybody's up for the job.
It's America... I'd rather just
be honest and use free speech,
and say that that guy... the CEO
of PFE should retire...

 |
ORCL |
18.79 |
19.11 |
Oracle Corp. (ORCL)
ORCL - I like ORCL, I
like ORCL... But you know what's
much better is
Salesforce.com (CRM).
I recommended that on (Stop
Trading) show... I
like CRM more than I like Orca,
the killer tech stock...

CAT |
71.85 |
71.64 |
Caterpillar Inc. (CAT)
CAT - The market's too
much of a bear market to
back up the truck to
anything. Once we had the
market correction at (Dow)
14,000, we had to drop the whole
notion of backing up the truck.
It's just too darn hard... I
will tell you this... I sold.. I
made a big mistake for
my charitable trust... I
sold CAT in the $60s. This
last quarter was really
terrific. Why?
Because they were able to cordon
off housing. You are
right... If CAT can be
bought below $70,
pull the trigger. They
are no longer hostage to the
U.S. economy, and I think that's
a terrific thing.
Price target to buy:
Under $70.00

GLBL |
18.66 |
18.74 |
Global Industries Ltd.
(GLBL)
GLBL - I like them...
I don't understand why that
stock is so darn low... But the
one that I've been recommending
in that exact group is
Willbros Group (WG),
which looked like it reported a
bad quarter but, by the way, it
actually said guidance was good
during the conference call...
I like WG more than yours.

AME |
42.88 |
42.74 |
Ametek Inc. (AME)
AME - At one time, I
owned a ton of AME, because I
lived next door to the company.
That is a great... it's like a
mini
Honeywell
(HON)...
they make motors... a mini
Emerson (EMR)
is probably more like it.
They do a lot of aircraft
precision stuff.
You
know, that is a really great
stock... Memo to staff...
We should be recommending AME...
They have done
everything right. It's cut
in right in that
pantheon of stocks that are
just great American stocks that
manufacture things. People
don't think we don't do that
right. That's wrong.
AME is terrific.

|
|
HCBK |
15.90 |
15.87 |
Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK)
HCBK - That's like the
Bailey Building and Loan... that
is our absolute favorite bank
stock. It is by far the
best-performing bank stock.
They've got a real squeaky-clean
branch that I visited in
Westhampton this weekend.
HCBK is the only bank stock that
I've been recommending on this
show and, everytime I try to
pick another one, I get crushed.
That company has very few bad
loans... They had about
six bad loans in the whole state
of New Jersey. That's for
me.
|
|
|
BWLD |
21.83 |
21.64 |
Buffalo Wild Wings Inc. (BWLD)
BWLD - No, no, no.
We got out of that stock about
12
points ago, on their first
bad miss. Everyone played
them up for the Superbowl...
(buzzer sounds)...
Please... you've got to deliver.
We are not about making friends.
We are about trying to make you
money, and I cannot make you
money in a declining business
like BWLD. They did keep
their chicken costs low, and I
appreciate that, but they are
not blowing up the
comp stores like they used
to, so I am not recommending it
at all.
|
|
|
NVDA |
21.17 |
20.91 |
NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)
NVDA - No. I'm
not going to tell you to do
that. I know it should
hold, like
Broadcom (BRCM)
was supposed to hold. You
know, this is a graphics chip
company.
Advanced Micro (AMD)
bought one too. I don't
want to have anything to do with
this company. Maybe it can
bounce but, on the bounce, I
want you to sell. Sell,
sell, sell! It's just too
hard.

SE |
23.60 |
23.44 |
Spectra Energy Corp.
(SE)
SE - I like it, but
I'd rather own its parent,
Duke Energy (DUK)...
Well, it's not its parent
anymore... the spinoff... DUK
spun it off. It yields 5%.
That's the better bet. I'd
rather stick with, not SE, but
with DUK.

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. |
