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

SDA

18.75

19.27

Sadia S.A. (SDA)

SDA -  Hey!  A food company that I can get into... it's a Latin America food company.  That is a great company...  That is absolutely a great company... it processes food...  I like that almost as much as I like Hormel Foods Corp. (HRL)...

HRL

Hormel Foods Corp. (HRL)

See SDA comments above for:
HRL

 

       

UA

35.39

35.77

Under Armour, Inc. (UA)

UA -  I know a lot of guys are getting into it, because they say it's come down, and all the bad news is in...  No.  I don't care... Sell, sell, sell... When they did that thing with the inventory, I lost all interest...  When they said it was good to have a huge gain in inventory, I realized that they thought that I went to college to get stupid, and that is not the case... So, no to UA...  I don't want you in it.

GILD

48.49

48.26

Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD)

GILD -  Oh man, GILD is so good... it's a 52-week high (stock)... I don't know if I can do that for you.  GILD's too high.  Wait for a 10% pullback...

Price target to buy:   $43.64 (a 10% pullback)

SYX

11.51

11.59

Systemax Inc. (SYX)

SYX -  No, no...  Yours will not get respect.  There's nothing here.  It's like a bad software... I mean, no.  We've got enough problems in tech.  We don't need to be in software like that.  I'd rather see you, honestly, I'd rather see you in Salesforce.com (CRM) and that's saying something.

CRM

58.91

59.60

Salesforce.com (CRM)

RIMM

105.65

106.42

Research In Motion (RIMM)

RIMM -  RIMM is still a bull-market play.  I like it a little less, because it's got some consumer tinge...

AAPL

127.94

129.99

Apple Inc. (AAPL)

AAPL -  Let me tell you about AAPL for a second, because AAPL is one that I have wavered on every night, to recommend this week...  every night...  I went to my unbelievably-good Apple Store in the Short Hills Mall in Millburn, NJ...  There's a fella, Rafe...  he is just amazing.  He works there on Saturday... This guy has opened my eyes to the wonders... I always liked Apple... but the new product, including the iPhone, where they put in the tie-in with Microsoft (MSFT)... When they put up the iteration... All I can tell you is that I think AAPL... Here's what I want you to do... If you want to buy 100 shares, I want you to buy 25 to 50 right now... It's up on a spike from $122... but I was going to recommend AAPL every day this week, and every day it's been up.  Why? Because I think that AAPL... you've got to maybe take 10 points of pain, and get 70 points of gain.  I think AAPL is going to break out by the end of the year.  I know the consumer is slow... I know iPod sales aren't that great... but they are going to do to cellphones, if they lower the price, what they did to every other entertainment company...  May I suggest that, after you buy half of it (your position), go to your Apple Store, and just sit there at the Genius Bar... Listen to them...  Go talk to your salespeople... this place is amazing.  These stores are amazing...

UTX

68.51

69.15

United Technologies Corp. (UTX)

UTX -  How about the fact that they snuck in, and tried to get Diebold on the absolute sly... how about the fact that they've delivered year after year of earnings... how about the fact that that stock is so far down that I just want to buy, buy, buy!  UTX is a solid, screaming buy here!

CME

506.85

510.41

CME Group, Inc. (CME)

CME -  I want to see CME conclude this deal with the NYMEX (NMX)... Maybe they have to pay up... maybe that's what's keeping it down... they have to pay up...  because this is a really fabulous company, and I am absolutely not backing off from this company.  I liked it at $600, and I still like it at $500.  I have been behind the stock for 100% gain, and I'm not backing away from it.

ETP

44.03

44.79

Energy Transfer Partners L.P. (ETP)

ETP -  I recommended this stock when it was a 6% (dividend) yield.  It's now at 7%.  I have researched this thing nine ways to Sunday...  I was going to re-recommend the stock next week, because it's just too cheap, and I am sticking by it...   Anybody who bought this on my recommendation, I want you to go in tomorrow and buy more.  I'm not crying.  I think it's absolutely right...  (buzzer sounds)...

WNR

15.33

15.23

Western Refining Inc. (WNR)

WNR -  That has got to be the worst-acting stock I have seen in ages... May I suggest that you buy either Sunoco (SUN), or I like Marathon (MRO), which has a combination of refining and oil.  Risk takers can go with Valero Energy Corp. (VLO)... I've had enough of it!... 

SUN

General question about:
Chinese Solar Stocks, which include:

Trina Solar Ltd. (TSL)
JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. (JASO)
Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ)

Solarfun Power Holdings Co. Ltd. (SOLF)

JJC:   Oh my God... those are just... I watched them go and gravitate... I can't handle them... I can't handle them... Don't buy, don't buy...  I would be suicidal... those things jump around.  They are just too hard.  I don't regard them as investable.  I'm sorry.  They're not investable.

See "How Chinese solar stocks may burn investors," article by Herb Greenberg, here...

AMAT

21.06

21.11

Applied Materials Inc. (AMAT)

AMAT -  I have been reluctant to recommend AMAT, because I do not like the semiconductor business...  Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) is in such trouble that let me put in a caveat here, and say that I like INTC... I think AMD is really about to (sound effect of man jumping out a window)... and AMAT's solar division is now on fire, so I will do a two-fer...  I will recommend INTC here, off of AMD...  and I will, indeed, recommend AMAT, off of the solar division.

Netflix, Inc.


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.
