Full Company
Name/Comments
(see comments above for
each) |
|
 |
BSC |
10.90 |
na |
Bear Stearns (BSC)
BSC - You sell it,
there is nothing there... It's
already above the offer. If you
wanna be in
JPMorgan (JPM),
go buy JPM. Let's reiterate:
JPM,
Goldman Sachs (GS*),
Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK)...
those are the three financials
we're voting. GS*, we've now
caught a quick 50 from the
bottom. I think GS*
remains a great name, and I own
it for
my charitable trust.
|
|
 |
JPM |
48.66 |
na |
JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM)
See BSC comments above for:
JPM
|
|

GS* |
200.27 |
na |
Goldman Sachs (GS*)
See BSC comments above for:

HCBK |

Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK)
See BSC comments above for:
HCBK
|
|
|
TASR |
7.28 |
na |
TASER International Inc.
(TASR)
TASR - Here's the
thing... I don't care for TASR,
I think that...this was one that
had the trajectory...as
everybody realized that here's a
gun that doesn't kill people...
but the problem is this:
It's yesterday's story. It
already had its move. TASR
reminds me of
Hansen Natural (HANS)
and, more importantly, of
CROCS (CROX)...
There's nothing there. Sell,
sell, sell. The momentum is
gone. I don't want you in it.
|
|
|
ITW |
53.12 |
na |
Illinois Tool Works
Inc. (ITW)
ITW - In my series
this week about American new
technology in manufacturing, I
was gonna do ITW as well as
doing
Emerson Electric (EMR).
I felt that they were too well
known. That was
probably a mistake.
ITW is a great company. It is
really one of the great American
manufacturing companies and I
would recommend you buy it right
here in the $50s... buy, buy,
buy! It's a steal.
|
|
|
AMAT |
19.70 |
na |
Applied Materials (AMAT)
AMAT - I like AMAT not
for the semiconductor equipment
business, which I don't like at
all. I like it for the solar
business which, next year at
this time, is gonna be more
important than the semiconductor
equipment, in terms of the
evaluation of the stock. In the
meantime, it doesn't cost you a
thing. I want to own AMAT.
|
|
 |
CPTS |
17.69 |
na |
Conceptus, Inc. (CPTS)
CPTS - This is like a
birth control company that's a
medical birth control company,
not just a pill. I'm gonna
take a pass on it. Don't buy,
don't buy... I need to know more
about that company, because I
don't know how its doing.
CPTS... I don't have a good view
on it.
|
|
|
|
|
DVA |
52.23 |
na |
DaVita Inc. (DVA)
DVA - DVA does kidney
failure machines. I think
they're absolutely terrific. I
will say that a lot of the big
medical device companies are
worried about government
reimbursements. I think DVA
saves the system money. I
like DVA.
|
|
|
SNCR |
22.71 |
na |
Synchronoss Technologies,
Inc. (SNCR)
SNCR - I lost sight.
You know, SNCR was a company
that came on the set.
They're terrific guys... They
activate all the cellphones... I
got too fired up about it. I
made a mistake. I don't
want to buy it in the $20s...
Don't buy, don't buy... . It's
just a cut throat business, it
turns out... They don't have the
margins. And I just wish
that, frankly, I only activated
phones with it, and didn't
activate the buy, buy, buy...
|
|
|
JOE |
40.47 |
na |
The St. Joe Company (JOE)
JOE - Here's the
thing...I have walked the St.
Joe properties... There is a
tremendous, tremendous part of
land that they own from
Tallahassee, almost to
Pensacola. Here's the problem...
a lot of bugs and not that warm
during the winter... and it
doesn't have a major airport
yet. They have to open
that in Panama City... It
happens in 2010. This is
company that just is a big land
holder. They're making plenty of
land. I say stay on the
sidelines...
|
|
|
KMP |
59.47 |
na |
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners
(KMP)
KMP - That's
that master limited
partnership...
(buzzer sounds)... It hit a
52-week high, it's still got a
great yield, and I still want to
buy it. It pays a huge, huge,
dividend... so return of
capital... and it goes higher
and it's really well run. KMP is
for you and for me.
|
|
|
THC |
6.38 |
na |
Tenet Healthcare
(THC)
THC - You know, I had
such a big gain in THC... sell,
sell, sell! I now
feel like the gain's been made.
I want to go elsewhere. I
don't trust those stocks ahead
of an election.
|
|
|
GRMN |
42.77 |
na |
Garmin Ltd. (GRMN)
GRMN - I free you from
that house of pain. It
ain't getting any better my
friend. You've got to move to a
whole new neighborhood. I put a
sell, sell, sell at
Christmastime and I never looked
back. They do not make a
proprietary product anymore.
Global positioning is
everywhere. Sell, sell, sell. I
don't want you anywhere near
GRMN... I want you to sell
GRMN.

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. |
