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

JRJC

15.57

China Finance Online Co. Ltd. (JRJC)

JRJC - That's a bad stock and I don't like it. Sell, sell, sell... That's a very risky Chinese name and... I have to tell you to sell, sell, sell... Remember, it's not about friends... it's about money, and that one's not going to make it...

MER

46.25

Merrill Lynch (MER)

MER - John Thain's going to do a good job. MER is okay, but you know what I'm going to do... Don't buy, don't buy... And he did say this week that he'd need more financing, which is really bullish... and I don't think there's a problem at Merrill Lynch, other than to say... let me be very careful... that Goldman Sachs (GS*) is better to own than MER.

GS*

175.40

Goldman Sachs (GS*)

See MER comments above for:
GS*

TTM

15.93

Tata Motors Ltd. (TTM)

TTM - No!... They paid too much! We dont like them!... Don't buy, don't buy... They used to be one of the companies that we recommended in India. We recommended it after a terrible terrorism incident at $15... It got to $18-19 and we took it off the table, and we never looked back, and we're not looking back.

BBY

42.89

Best Buy (BBY)

BBY - After that great quarter it did nothing? Don't buy, dont' buy... I can't recommend that stock. That was a good quarter and the stock did not react. I think there are better fish to fry in that sector. I don't like retail, as people know, but I do like Urban Outfitters (URBN), which is a better play... I know that's clothing. I like VF Corp. (VFC), and I like Jones Apparel (JNY), because of that bountiful yield.

URBN

32.54

Urban Outfitters (URBN)

VFC

and descriptions - especially ones unique to Jim Cramer!)

CHKE

33.24

Cherokee Inc. (CHKE)

CHKE - CHKE is too dicey for me. Why not buy Target (TGT) if you want that kind of Cherokee, and you like clothes?

TGT

52.67

Target (TGT)

See CHKE comments above for:
TGT

TRA

38.47

Terra Industries Inc. (TRA)

TRA - No, no. TRA is not one of my faves. Remember the pecking order... Potash (POT)... 52-week high for POT... and then it's Mosaic (MOS)... and then we like Agrium (AGU). Those are all in my pecking order. I'm not going down to TRA. I'm just not...

POT

170.89

Potash (POT)

See TRA comments above for:
POT

MOS

115.07

Mosaic (MOS)

MOS

AGU

69.23

Agrium (AGU)

AGU

LUV

12.66

Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV)

LUV - No, no, no. We don't recommend any airlines on this show, and we're just not going to recommend LUV. We're not going to start. I don't like that one.

VDSI

14.81

VASCO Data Security International Inc. (VDSI)

VDSI - No, they missed the quarter... That stock has been... They're in the penalty box like you wouldn't believe. It's a 10-minute major penalty for them. It's a yellow card! It's a red card!

ING

40.15

ING Groep NV (ING)

ING - Here we go again... I'm not recommending ING, the bank... I think that is a very good rate of return that ING gives you... (buzzer sounds)...I think you're safe in ING. What I mean is your account is safe in it... I was not recommending ING stock, and I'm not recommending ING stock...

RVBD

12.86

Riverbed Technology, Inc. (RVBD)

RVBD - I blew RVBD! I thought the company was immune... or, at least, somewhat immune, to the economic cycle. They came out today and said that they weren't. My bad. It just shows you once again... my aversion to tech is right, and I've got to stick with my discipline. I was surprised how bad the sales and earnings were at RVBD. It was disappointing.

SWN

36.38

Southwestern Energy Co. (SWN)

SWN - I like natural gas so much... I think the nat gas, whether it be SWN, whether it be Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK), whether it be XTO Energy Inc. (XTO*), whether it be Apache Corp. (APA), whether it be Anadarko Petroleum (APC)... whether it be Devon Energy (DVN). They're all fabulous and I would stick with all of them...

	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.
