ELY

13.97

na

Callaway Golf Co. (ELY)

ELY -  You know, I don't know...  I was reading in Fortune, about the Titleist brand.  You know, there's a secular slowdown in golf... as much as we think there's a lot of business done in golf, it is in a declining industry, so I am not going to recommend ELY.  I can't.  It's just not enough... there's not enough momentum to the business.  It's in a decline.

CTR

16.89

na

Cato Corp. (CTR)

CTR -  No, no... that's a retailer.  We're only buying four retailers... we're buying  Costco (COST),  we're buying TJX (TJX),  we're buying Urban Outfitters (URBN),  and we're buying Wal-Mart (WMT).  We can absolutely trade, if you want, Jones Apparel (JNY), at $15, because of the good yield... and I am sanctioning a trade in Lowe's (LOW), now that Home Depot (HD) is blinking... But we are not investing in retail... not CTR, not Cache (CACH), not Zumiez, Inc. (ZUMZ), not nothing, including Pacific Sunwear (PSUN).

MPEL

13.26

na

Melco PBL Entertainment (MPEL)

MPEL -  I have hated it since $18.  I wish I had hated it since $21.  I don't want anything to do with gaming.  By the way, I think Las Vegas Sands (LVS) is no-go.  I've been negative on that.  Wynn Resorts (WYNN) reported after the close.  I don't care that it's up.  I want you to sell it.  I don't like International Game Technology (IGT) anymore, although it's down all the way... this is like a five-fer...  And, by the way, I don't think Penn National Gaming (PENN)...  I don't think that deal ever closes...

MVL

29.55

na

Marvel Entertainment, Inc. (MVL)

MVL -  Whoa... for a second there, I thought you were talking about Marvell (MRVL), the technology company... sell, sell, sell!...  I told you my friend, Dan Reveev, who introduced me to MVL, when the stock was at $18, said that they'd be making movies... There was another guy who came on.  He works for the Wall Street Journal... he said he didn't like it.  I think Ironman's big... of course, I'm in Ironman, so it's definitely big... and I think MVL is a winner.  Their movie gambit turned out to work.  I would pull the trigger, ahead of the big opening... 

MRVL

na

Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (MRVL)

SAPE

7.47

na

Sapient Corp. (SAPE)

SAPE -  Oh man, you're taxing the system with SAPE.  First of all, it's that kind of software that I don't really care for.  Second, the management turnover there has just been a nightmare... (buzzer sounds)...  No... ix-nay on SAPE... 

CSE

14.72

na

CapitalSource Inc. (CSE)

CSE -  You know, a real estate investment trust... I've got to end on a downer?  This is the last call... and the last call happens to be negative.  I don't like the REITs... sell, sell, sell!... mortgaged, levered business.  I want you to stay out of that.

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.
