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

MICC

89.22

na

Millicom International Cellular (MICC)

MICC -  International cellular company... I wish you had more room to purchase some.  I do believe in the company.  Now, I think a lot of chartists are weighing on the stock saying, listen, it obviously has a bad head and shoulders chart... I say, give me a break!  Some of the stocks that I've shorted, with a head and shoulders pattern, got takeover bids.   I'm saying the same on MICC.  But I like your stock very much.  It's got momentum... it's got good earnings...  It's just expensive, and a lot of expensive stocks are coming in.  I want you to buy some...

CCJ

35.82

na

Cameco Corp. (CCJ)

CCJ -  You know, if I want nuclear exposure, I'm going to buy ABB Ltd. (ABB), or maybe I will buy...  Well, ABB's probably the best nuclear play, other than Shaw Group Inc. (SGR).  I don't want to buy uranium.   I think uranium is too dicey...  Remember, they had that big accident at that mine... I don't want uranium... It's too, too speculative for this guy.  Everytime we've tried it, we've failed.

ABB

27.13

na

ABB Ltd. (ABB)

See CCJ comments above for:
ABB

SGR

54.80

na

Shaw Group Inc. (SGR)

See CCJ comments above for:
SGR

HON

58.03

na

Honeywell (HON)

HON -  They got this Umbraer contract today... It's like a multiple... $20 billion... and the stock was barely up.  That's wrong.  Dave Cote (CEO) has revolutionized this company.  I thought, with Boeing (BA) up big, I would buy HON...  I think HON has more things going for it... more positives... and Dave Cote, who runs it is just a total under-promise, over-deliver play...  Pull the trigger HON.  It should have been up more.

 

       

YRCW

13.32

na

YRC Worldwide Inc. (YRCW)

YRCW -  No.  That's the old Yellow Freight.  I don't want to be there... As a matter of fact, that's like my least favorite.  I'd rather see you in a rail.  CSX Corp. (CSX) just pulled back.  Why not pull the trigger on CSX?  That's Michael Ward.  He's doing a job for you... he is really good... 

CSX

56.31

na

CSX Corp. (CSX)

See YRCW comments above for:
CSX

GOOG

464.19

na

Google (GOOG)

GOOG -  Remember, we got rid of the Four Horsemen - other than Research In Motion (RIMM) - at the end of the year.  They were too dangerous.   Now, let me give you a little feel on GOOG... I am concerned that, if Steve Ballmer gets Yahoo! (YHOO), he is going to break price and affect pricing, and he can afford to do it.  Also, the Google people have to start showing some discipline.  They spend like drunken sailors... they keep hiring everybody.  Until they get their expense structure down, I am going to have to say don't buy anymore GOOG, until it's under $400.

Price target to buy:  Under $400.00

WY

63.24

na

Weyerhaeuser Co. (WY)

WY -  Oh... all the lumber stocks fell today.  You got a great dividend.  People are fretting too much on these great value plays...   I think WY is just a terrific buy here.  It's where I recommended it.  I would pull the trigger again.

XOM

89.70

na

Exxon Mobil (XOM)

XOM -  XOM has become the IBM, in that you'll never go wrong picking IBM...  I like XOM.  Obviously, I like ConocoPhillips (COP*) more... I like the natural gas plays more... but XOM is what we call on Wall Street, a core holding.  They buy back a lot of stock.  They have tremendously undervalued reserves.  They did replenish 100% of those.  XOM is a great American company, and I'm never going to tell anyone not to buy it.

COP*

79.43

na

ConocoPhillips (COP*)

See XOM comments above for:
COP*

HK

21.74

na

Petrohawk Energy Corp. (HK)

HK -  HK is fabulous.  It hit a 52-week high today...  HK is real good, and any of the natural gas stocks, on any discount, I'd buy.

TRN

25.82

na

Trinity Industries Inc. (TRN)

TRN -  All right, here's the deal... TRN is a no-go.  Why?  I actually was going to do TRN, because I did a lot of work on it... and I realized that they're just not reordering those kinds of cars.  It's just not a good play.  I actually believe that Union Pacific Corp. (UNP), CSX Corp. (CSX), Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNI) and Norfolk Southern Corp. (NSC) are better.  And I'll tell you the truth... CSX is better than a lot of the car companies.  There's not a lot of money being made there at TRN.  I'm glad I didn't recommend it.

UNP

129.87

na

Union Pacific Corp. (UNP)

See TRN comments above for:
UNP

CSX

na

CSX Corp. (CSX)

BNI

NSC

na

Norfolk Southern Corp. (NSC)

NSC

 

       

VZ*

36.02

na

Verizon (VZ*)

VZ* -  I was hurt... my feeling were hurt... Apparently, Ivan Siedenburg (CEO) sat down with Wachovia Corp. (WB), and not with Cramer...  I mean, that's crazy.  AT&T (T) has moved up more than VZ* lately.  I own VZ* for my charitable trust... I'm starting to feel very unloved.  (buzzer sounds)... VZ*... come to Cramer...

C

23.58

na

Citigroup (C)

C -  You know, I actually see that they're starting to do things right at C.  They're selling the Diner's Card... they're securitizing some of their bad loans...  They're getting their arms around the problem.  I'm going to say don't buy, but I'm starting to see signs of life, and... they're no longer on life support... that's the gentlemanly way to put it...

DFS

17.70

na

Discover Financial Services (DFS)

DFS -  No... Discover, no... Let's give the pecking order... I like
Mastercard (MA) first... I still like it on any weakness.  Remember, it is not a play on retail, it's a play on transactions... Then I like Visa Inc. (V)...  So we've got that #2.  And #3, I like American Express (AXP), and only then, do I come back to DFS.

MA

228.75

na

Mastercard (MA)

MA

V

Visa Inc. (V)

AXP

na

American Express (AXP)

AXP

ATN

38.58

na

Atlas Energy Resources LLC (ATN)

ATN -  It's a hand over fist buy... pull the trigger. That is one of my absolute favorite plays, and you know I love the Marcellus Shale...

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.
