MOT

9.82

9.85

Motorola Inc. (MOT)

MOT -  I think that, other than Carl Icahn, MOT has nothing going for it.  Carl's been buying stock.  I appreciate that... I was reading the Texas Instruments (TXN) conference call, earlier this week... You know, I really don't have anything good to say about MOT... I really don't. Nokia (NOK) is just beating the...  This is like the Finnish-American war, and the Fins are winning (i.e., referring to the fact that Nokia is based in Finland).  They've got better intellectual property...

JCP

41.00

41.51

J. C. Penney (JCP)

JCP -  We had a great trade there.  We bought the JCP into that unbelievable Myron Ullman III...  Here's the deal...  JCP is cheap, but that was a trade.  Now we're back in the investment side.  The quarter, the month, was awful.  I think, under $40, it's got very low risk/reward, but it's got very little upside.

Target price to buy again:  Under $40.00
 

QDEL

14.59

14.57

Quidel Corp. (QDEL)

QDEL -  You know... QDEL... I said we were going to get the flu season.  The stock was going to go up, when we got the flu season...  I went back to the well to often with QDEL?  I don't know... the flu season's really roaring.  The stock's at $14.50...  I am still saying it's going to be a good quarter.   I want to stick by QDEL... and everyone knows I like the diagnostic business.
 

ACH

45.20

45.21

Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd. (ACH)

ACH -  I've got enough problems in America... I've got to go to China to get more problems in aluminum?...  C'mon man, when we're going to go to China, we're already stuck here.  We tried to do the Focus Media (FMCN)...  We like Gushan Environmental (GU), because it's only $10...  But that market is just so speculative right now, that I cannot recommend a new stock over there.
 

FMCN

43.80

43.77

Focus Media (FMCN)

See ACH comments above for:
FMCN
 

GU

8.00

8.15

Gushan Environmental (GU)

See ACH comments above for:
GU
 

PCP

104.00

103.19

Precision Castparts Corp. (PCP)

PCP -  I don't know... I saw that Goldman (Sachs) put out a note today, saying that Boeing (BA) is going to be late again with the 787, the Dreamliner...  Everytime I hear that, I think I've got to get out of some of these companies that supply into BA... PCP is a great company, but I cannot recommend it right now... Don't buy, don't buy... it's too risky.  
 

 

       

AMX

57.92

58.00

America Movil (AMX)

AMX -  You happen to be buying in a more conservative part of the world than we are... which is Latin America.  By the way, Brazilian paper (i.e., money)... better than ours.  Mexican paper, better than ours.  I think AMX is a terrific situation, because it's levered to Latin American growth, not the United States'... I would stick by it and, if it got below $54, I would buy some more.

Price target to buy:  Below $54.00
 

SHLD*

92.36

92.46

Sears (SHLD*)

SHLD* -  All right... let's be very honest here... At around $130, $120... I said, listen, I'm not going to recommend it on the show anymore.  I'm just going to own it, because I like Eddie Lampert (CEO)... (buzzer sounds)...  I like SHLD* because I like Eddie Lampert.  It has been a bad move to believe in him in the last 11 months.  It's been a good move to believe in him in the last 22 years.  I have 22 years of history with Eddie... actually 24 years... So, what I'm going to do is bet on the 24 years, and not on the last 11 months...  Does that make me a sucker?...  I think it makes me an investor...  And that's why I'm sticking with Eddie...  And I'm not recommending the stock, because I know how bad retail is.  But I am not going to back away from Eddie, and I am still up in it my charitable trust...  I'm not walking away.
 

OSK

38.40

38.40

Oshkosh Truck Corp. (OSK)

OSK -  What is that stock doing at the 52-week low?... I mean, that's a great business.  They do military trucks... Wow!  This market is so awful... This is like Ceradyne (CRDN).  I guess you can't touch it.  Look, if we're going to do defense, you know what I said last night...  I like General Dynamics (GD).  I'll tell you to get out of yours and get into mine.  Stick with GD... 
 

GD

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.
