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

BMY

22.09

na

Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY)

BMY -  I hate to recommend a stock solely because of the yield, the potential upside... but BMY has got good yield and I think it's very good.  I do not like BMY as much as I like Merck (MRK), which has a really great pipeline, and is down ridiculously on Vytorin and Zetia... I think you buy MRK over BMY.

MRK

41.71

na

Merck (MRK)

See BMY comments above for:
MRK

GCI

28.59

na

Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI)

GCI -  I struggle and struggle and struggle for a reason to recommend GCI.  I don't like print.  I'm telling people to sell GCI.  Sell the New York Times Company (NYT) stock... sell McClatchy Co. (MNI) in particular...  and I told all the people that I know at Tribune that they should try to get out of that buyout that Sam Zell got them into...  I like GCI so much as a company, but I can't recommend the stock, because there is no catalyst whatsoever.  I say stay away.

NYT

The New York Times Company (NYT)

Q

4.65

na

Qwest (Q)

Q -  I've been watching the stock, because the yield's gone up but, if you remember, we had Dick Notebart (CEO) on when the stock was like at $7... and, when he retired, I said that was it.  When Dick Notebart left, I said that was the end of that stock.  I've got a lot of better yielders.  I'd rather see you own
Verizon (VZ*) at 4-5% yield, than I would see you in Q with a higher yield.  It's safer.

VZ*

35.83

na

Verizon (VZ*)

See Q comments above for:
VZ*

TXCO

13.50

na

TXCO Resources, Inc. (TXCO)

TXCO -  I think it's a good company, but you know I like the majors... You know that I own XTO Energy Inc. (XTO*) for my charitable trust... You know I think the world of Apache Corp. (APA) and Anadarko Petroleum (APC) and I like Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK) very much, and I could on with Devon Energy (DVN) and I like Southwestern Energy Co. (SWN) better than yours, so I like all those ahead of your play, but your play is fine.

XTO*

XTO Energy Inc. (XTO*)

YHOO

28.59

na

Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO)

YHOO -  YHOO is already done.  There's probably a point or two upside.  I read all of these articles.  I don't trust any of them... I think the deal is done.  You're not going to get more than $31-32...  Ix-nay on YHOO...

 

       

MIC

30.24

na

Macquarie Infrastructure Co. (MIC)

MIC -  No... and I have been negative on that, and then the Australian papers trashed me...  I don't trust the Australian complex that is MIC...

PZE

11.93

na

Petrobras Energia (PZE)

PZE -   I can tell you that it's often confused with the one that I like, which is Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR).  I like PBR, along with my favorite manager, Heebner, who comes out the best (fund manager) in this book,
Stay Mad For Life...  I think that PBR is your play for Brazilian oil.

PBR

115.17

na

Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR)

PBR

NVDA

19.88

na

NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)

NVDA -  I'm going to tell you that I don't like that stock one bit... (buzzer sounds)... Sell, sell, sell... I've been negative on NVDA and SanDisk Corp. (SNDK) for actually for like a year...  No, NVDA is no good...

SNDK

26.72

na

SanDisk Corp. (SNDK)

See NVDA comments above for:
SNDK

BAM

28.10

na

Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (BAM)

BAM -  One of my worst picks, because I believed that that is the next
Warren Buffett...  The Canadian papers have been all over me like a cheap Canadian suit, saying that I blew this one... I've got to tell you... I want to stick by it... but it needs financing... Don't buy, don't buy... It's like a private equity firm, and I should have realized it... I should have disliked BAM and I didn't.

ABK

5.27

na

Ambac (ABK)

ABK -  All right, let me be very specific about ABK...  This is a company... sell, sell, sell... that I have disliked for maybe 35-40 points... and I am adamant that it is still a sale, along with MBIA Inc. (MBI), PMI Group Inc. (PMI) and MGIC Investment Corp. (MTG) and Radian Group Inc. (RDN)...  Those are all in this insurance business.  The only one that I could really, really, really get my arms around... No, you know what... I'm not going to recommend any in that group.  That group is just awful.  Stay away from ABK.

MBI

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.
