(see comments above for
each) |

EP* |
16.99 |
na |
El Paso Corp. (EP*)
EP* - I started buying
EP* for
my charitable trust... EP*
is a very cheap natural gas
play, and I really think that
everybody who hasn't been in
natural gas stocks yet, who
wants a $17 stock, should be
looking at that. Please do
your homework. I spent a
lot of time on this one.
It is clearly not as consistent
as
XTO Energy Inc. (XTO*)...
It is not as consistent as any
of the majors... But I do
like EP* as a speculative
natural gas and pipe play...
speculative natural gas...

|
 |
IHG |
16.21 |
na |
Intercontinental Hotels Group
(IHG)
IHG - A not-great
hotel chain... in an industry
that I don't really care for...
I am not going to recommend that
stock. As a matter of
fact, I am not going to
recommend any hotel chains,
until we get that Harrah's deal
done, and off the books.
|
|
|
PFE |
21.34 |
na |
Pfizer (PFE)
PFE - No, PFE's got a
high... It's like a bond
without any growth. I
don't like anything that PFE's
doing. Now, is my
credibility good or bad here?
I said I like
Celgene (CELG)...
that's been monster. I
said I like
Gilead
(GILD)...
that's been fantastic. And
I said that I like
Schering-Plough (SGP*).
And, for that... house of
pain... I saw SGP* announced
some very good things. I
thought they were meaningful.
The stock finally went up...
but, then again, I have been
totally wrong on it, because I
have felt that the enhanced
study would not wreck all
Vytorin sales... but I still say
SGP* is a good stock. I
still say it's better than
PFE... and I don't care that I
have been wrong... and I have
been wrong.

NEU |
80.85 |
na |
NewMarket Corp. (NEU)
NEU - NEU is a
problem... It's a
short squeeze name.
Everybody knows it as a short
squeeze name. It has a
very narrow float. It's
been going up on guys who are
panicked... panicked...
It's a lubricant and additive
company. It's got nothing
really special, other than it's
a giant short squeeze.
Please be careful.
|
|
|
CTXS |
31.56 |
na |
Citrix Systems (CTXS)
CTXS - A very
difficult product cycle. I
actually write about that stock
as a problem in
Jim Cramer's Stay Mad For Life...
because I think that's a
technology company that does not
have a good product cycle going.
If you are new to the game, I
want you to stick with stocks
that pay good dividends to get
started. People who are
really new to the game... on
your first $10,000 you shouldn't
even be in stocks... (mutual funds
instead)... But I don't
want you to start with CTXS.
It is too dicey for you, and
it's not a great technology
stock. I think it's
bearish.

|
|
|
GLW* |
25.53 |
na |
Corning Inc. (GLW*)
GLW* - All right...
I've been scaling out of GLW*
for
my charitable trust... Why,
do you think? Well,
because it's at a 52-week
high... I don't really care for
technology right now... It's
gotten a little expensive, and
it depends on the FiOS rollout
by
Verizon
(VZ*)...
But I still do have a nice
position... It's getting a
little north... If it
pulls back to $22, I would
pull the trigger and buy more.
Price target to buy:
$22.00
|
|
|
DNDN |
5.28 |
na |
Dendreon Corp. (DNDN)
DNDN - No, no... DNDN
is a very controversial company.
It's got a lot of novel stuff...
I don't like it. I don't
think it has anything going for
it... People now hate me
that I said that... I
don't care.
|
|
|
SNDK |
26.47 |
na |
SanDisk Corp. (SNDK)
SNDK - No, no, no...
SNDK is a stock that is
commoditized... Everyone
gets real excited, because
everytime you buy a digital
camera or a digital phone, you
say, I need more memory... and
that is SNDK, but that is not a
proprietary technology. I
don't want you to own SNDK.
|
|
|
LYV |
13.04 |
na |
Live Nation, Inc. (LYV)
LYV - Every time I
ever get in one of these
entertainment companies, I lose
my shirt...
|
|
|
BSC |
10.72 |
na |
Bear Stearns (BSC)
BSC - No, no... You're
in an
arbitrage situation. They're
not going to pay more than $10,
and may I reiterate that, if
your money's in Bear Stearns
(deposit accounts), you're fine.
(buzzer sounds)... But the stock
isn't any good.
|
|
|
BP* |
62.50 |
na |
BP plc (BP*)
BP* - Okay... BP* is
very controversial. I own
it for
my charitable trust... I
know it's a terrible company...
I know they're getting rid of
their green project... I
know that they have refinery
problems, including wherever you
live... I know it's
mis-managed, but it's got a
beautiful yield, and it's an
energy stock... and even they
can't screw that up...
BP*? I'm a buyer!
|
|
|
FTEK |
20.89 |
na |
Fuel-Tech, Inc. (FTEK)
FTEK - This is another
one where I say, you know what?
I am too conservative a guy to
be in FTEK. And, if I want
to own anything even remotely in
that area, I am going to
recommend
First Solar, Inc. (FSLR).

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

 |
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. |
