Full Company
Name/Comments
(see comments above for
each) |
|
 |
FLR |
158.84 |
na |
Fluor Corporation (FLR)
FLR - One of the great
infrastructure plays in the
world... The stock's been
getting hit here. On any
pullback, I'm a buyer of FLR...
Long, dated cycle of
infrastructure... does not vary
with the dollar or the pound.
It is rockin'. FLR's a
winner.
|
|
|
QDEL |
16.13 |
na |
Quidel Corp. (QDEL)
QDEL - You know, this
is one that I like off of flu.
It kind of got hit, and then
it's come back. I want to
stick with it. This
company is diagnostics.
Diagnostics is where it's at.
Another long-term thesis I am
not backing down from.
Diagnostics is mentioned in
Stay Mad For Life as one of
the long-term plays, along with
ag and minerals and oil and gas.
|
|
 |
PRFT |
9.32 |
na |
Perficient Inc. (PRFT)
PRFT - Oh man...
Middleware software. Every
middleware software company I've
ever seen got bought by
Oracle Corp. (ORCL).
I bet you this one does too.
But it doesn't have the great
earnings, and we don't recommend
stocks just based on a takeover
basis, unless it has the
earnings... I'm fair to midlin
on PRFT. Don't buy, don't
buy...
|
|
|
RAD |
2.65 |
na |
Rite Aid Corp. (RAD)
RAD - I didn't like
that quarter... Mary
Sammons (CEO) is so in the
penalty box. She's like a
30-minute major (penalty)...
I am not a buyer of RAD.
She had lots of chances to
succeed.
Ix-nay on RAD. I like
CVS (CVS)
|
|
|
CVS |
41.03 |
na |
CVS Caremark Corp. (CVS)
See RAD comments above for:
CVS
|
|
|
WFMI |
31.76 |
na |
Whole Foods Market Inc. (WFMI)
WFMI - Whole Foods is
a great place to shop.
It's not a good stock.
It's really unfortunate for me
to say that, because Whole Foods
really is one of my favorite
places to shop, along with
Trader Joe's (private)... but
WFMI, the company, is a little
overvalued... It's got too
much mystique. I have not
been recommending the stock.
I have been telling people to
sell it. Don't buy, don't
buy. I can't do that all
the way down here, but the
supermarket business is tough.
And, don't forget, Safeway Inc. (SWY)
has moved very aggressively into
natural foods... And this Trader
Joe's is for real... It's a for
real store.
|
|
|
EMC* |
15.75 |
na |
EMC (EMC*)
EMC* - I own it
my charitable trust.
It has been a major source of
depression, and a headache... I
cannot believe that
VMware (VMW)
has been going up day after day,
and EMC* owns the largest piece.
They've got $7 billion in cash.
This is so cheap, the CEO, Joe
Tucci, should come on the show
and explain how
ridiculously-cheap EMC* is.
I'm not backing away. I
own it. Today was a good
day for EMC*, but it is one of
the worst stocks I have ever
seen, with the exception of the
NYSE Euronext, Inc. (NYX*),
which is the worst stock I've
ever seen.
|
|
|
VMW |
67.33 |
na |
VMware (VMW)
See EMC* comments above for:
VMW
|
|
|
HPQ |
47.59 |
na |
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ)
HPQ - Why don't you
swap out of HPQ and buy
Eaton (ETN)?
I am on a Jihad to prove that
the real technology is in
American manufacturing, not in
computers. That said, Mark
Hurd's a pretty good CEO, and I
like HPQ. It's just that
I've got a fixation on buying in
America, when it comes to
manufacturing.
|
|
|
|
|
ETN |
87.63 |
na |
Eaton Corp. (ETN)
See HPQ comments above for:
ETN
|
|
|
GILD |
52.53 |
na |
Gilead Sciences Inc.
(GILD)
GILD - I don't
recommend calls or puts on this
show, because it's too risky for
the vast majority of my
audience. That said, GILD
is on roll like you wouldn't
believe. GILD is my
favorite biotech stock, now that
Celgene (CELG)
reached my $65 target...
(buzzer sounds)... I sold
half my CELG... I think GILD is
a monster-good company, and you
should hold onto your calls, and
hold onto your common, for those
who have bought GILD.
|
|
|
MRO |
46.41 |
na |
Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO)
MRO - I cannot believe
that MRO is only being valued as
a refinery play, when it has all
those assets... You're right...
you should be buying more...
buy, buy, buy! Don't just
be patient, but be buying some
MRO. You've got horse
sense!

think it is indicated by his
comments during the show.

Thumbs down -

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. |
