SIRI

2.69

Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (SIRI)

SIRI - This is now 67 days and 1 year that they have not approved this. I mean, now they're starting to talk about... It's pretty clear they want to stop this deal... I am telling you this deal is going to go through. I still think, that when it goes through, you've got a $5 stock... But we must keep writing the FCC! We can't let them off the hook! We can't let them be just completely... I'm trying not to say, in bed... I'm trying not to say, in the pocket of... I'm trying not to say, owned by terrestrial radio... So I've eliminated all those possibilities, and let's just say that I think the FCC's behavior raises eyebrows...

Price target if the deal is approved: $5.00

General question about the oil refiners

JJC: No, no, no, no, no... If we want oil refiners, we're going to join them either with ConocoPhillips (COP*), or with Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY), or maybe with Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO). I even like Hess Corporation (HES) more. I think that refining margins are going to stay bad. Everyone thinks they've got to be making money, if we're paying $4 bucks for oil... ix-nay... No! Not true. Integrated oils are the thing... integrated oils...

COP*

83.57

ConocoPhillips (COP*)

Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY)

AEM

62.35

Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM)

AEM - All right, look... I think, and I'm going to stand right now... Gold has come down huge... I have bought gold, and bought gold, and bought gold... Why? Because this is your chance to buy gold. The stocks are down much more than the commodity. The commodity's down 10%. The stocks are down as much as 35%. Yes, I have been buying Yamana Gold Inc. (AUY*). I made a stand, and have been buying a ton of AUY* right here. Bought it higher, but bought it here. I like AEM too. You need gold. People should have a gold stock in their portfolio... You shouldn't buy it when it's running. You should buy it when it's collapsing. It's been collapsing... I want to buy... buy, buy, buy... gold!

AUY*

13.39

Yamana Gold Inc. (AUY*)

See AEM comments above for:
AUY

ENER

32.58

Energy Conversion Devices (ENER)

ENER - You are barking up the wrong solar play! I am recommending First Solar, (FSLR) and, if a democrat gets into the White House... the first call they're going to make is to FSLR, and say, enough ethanol! No, they actually like ethanol a whole lot too... But I think there's room for FSLR in the pastiche... of energy conservation and anti-fossil fuel.

FSLR

288.24

First Solar, Inc. (FSLR)

See ENER comments above for:
FSLR

FRZ

13.64

Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc. (FRZ)

FRZ - You know, we were going to recommend FRZ, and the stock turned out to be a real bad one... Let me go back... I know it's losing money... I want to do a little touch up on FRZ. We'll come back to that next week...

ING

37.78

ING Groep NV (ING)

ING - No, I mean it's a decent bank, no doubt about it... but I'm not a buyer of that. I like Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK) today, a 52-week high... What bank stock is hitting a 52-week high?... We've been riding this one for more than a year. Every other bank stock we follow is down huge, other than People's United Financial Inc. (PBCT), and this one's up. Let's not even out-think it. That one's our play.

HCBK

19.11

Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK)

See ING comments above for:
HCBK

SIRT

22.30

Sirtris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (SIRT)

SIRT - No, no... GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) bought them, so you've got to ring the register. This is a company that makes the ingredient that's like the red wine ingredient that's supposed to give you a longer life...

TSFG

7.10

South Financial Group Inc. (TSFG)

TSFG - Oh man... you cut me to the quick... This is another stinker-roony McFaddy financial... No, no, and then I'm going to throw in another no... and, just to be clear... I'm saying, No! I want you in Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK), even up here at $19. I'll give you the Goldman Sachs (GS*) for a little lift... and, yes, I still like JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM) if you want a little value in banks, and that's it.

HCBK

19.11

Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK)

See TSFG comments above for:
HCBK

GS*

192.00

Goldman Sachs (GS*)

See TSFG comments above for:
GS*

JPM

47.79

JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM)

See TSFG comments above for:
JPM

CXW

26.43

Corrections Corp. of America (CXW)

CXW - Just because it is in the prison business doesn't necessarily mean it can execute well. I am worried about that stock... Don't buy, dont' buy... This is an execution issue... I think that have to be very careful with this stock. It has had a spotty record, and I don't want to be involved... I've seen them be inconsistent... (buzzer sounds)... and it's a good trend, but it's not one worth playing, so to speak.

URBN

33.62

Urban Outfitters (URBN)

URBN - I don't care (about the CEO has sold shares recently)... I mean, he's been with the company a long time. I'm not worried. He's got a great eye... I was at the Urban Outfitters that just opened in Brooklyn on Wednesday. It's just a dynamite look. I call it "cheap chic"... that's right, "cheap chic"... URBN and TJX (TJX), Wal-Mart (WMT) and Costco (COST). Those are my four retailers. I'm not going away from them. Those are the ones you want to be in. Just like I've got three banks, I've got four retailers and, the rest of them? Sold to you...

TJX

32.94

TJX (TJX)

See URBN comments above for:
TJX

WMT

57.65

Wal-Mart (WMT)

See URBN comments above for:
WMT

COST

71.54

Costco (COST)

See URBN comments above for:
COST

MSFT

29.83

Microsoft (MSFT)

MSFT - Disappointed, disappointed... I've got to tell you, the PC business is not so hot... And, yes, Steve (Ballmer, CEO), hold your ears... sell MSFT and move into Apple (AAPL)! I said it. I'm ex-communicated from the State of Washington (i.e., where Microsoft is headquartered)... and, you know what? It's not about friends... It's about... money!

AAPL

169.73

Apple (AAPL)

AAPL

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.
