Full Company
Name/Comments
(see comments above for
each)
HPQ - HPQ is very well
run... It's not my most
exciting thing. Why?
Because, in the end, it's in a
competitive market against
Dell Inc. (DELL),
but it's run by Mark Hurd, who
is a certified genius, who has
certainly made that company into
a great company... It used
to be a great company...
It's become a great company
again. I bless you owning
that... HPQ, you'll do just fine
in.
BABY - It's baby care,
and I have had this on my agenda
as a stock to recommend on this
show, when I could get around to
it... It's an excellent,
excellent baby care, disease
management play. I think
you've got a good one. I'm
endorsing it right here.
WNR - I really don't
like the refiners right here,
and that includes Valero (VLO)
and WNR... If you want to be in
a refiner, I'd prefer you to be
in Marathon (MRO)...
Why? Because they also own
a lot of properties. I
need a little hedge. The
refining business has gotten
bad. It was bad for years
and years. It was good for
a few years, and I don't like it
anymore.
DSX - Not bad... not
bad... but I'm going to be
honest... As much as I
like that one, you know that FRO
has been my name. Another
52-week high. That's the
best-run... I'm not deviating
from FRO. FRO rocks.
That's my play.
DT - I like DT.
I have no problems with DT.
I think it's pretty good.
I put it in the same camp as
Vodafone (VOD).
They're okay. You know I
am a
Verizon
(VZ*)
and
AT&T (T)
guy from way back. What
did I tell you?... to sell
Qwest (Q)
as soon as Notebart quit... that
was a loser... I'm glad we got
out of that. Sprint Nextel
(S)...
I've hated that since Sprint and
Nextel merged, and they booted
the good guy there, and kept the
bad guy... booted Donahue...
I remain convinced that DT
should do the Nextel, Sprint
(i.e., acquire them) but Sprint,
in the end, is a trainwreck.
There are 50 million leaving S
to go to Verizon and AT&T...
Those are my plays.
STV - Risky Chinese
telco company. I remember
when this went public at the New
York Stock Exchange. I
liked it initially... don't buy,
dont' buy... and then got cold
feet... So, no. I
can't recommend that.
VMC - Holy cow, was
that a bad quarter. I keep
thinking this stock has got to
bottom somewhere. I mean,
I've seen it at $100, then $90,
then $70, then $60... I feel
like a really bad auctioneer...
I'm going backwards... The
aggregate business has been
crushed, and I don't see any
bottom yet in VMC. I would
much rather see you in , if
you're going to go that way.
MGM - I thought that
was a dead cat bounce... I do
believe that MGM is part of a
cohort of stocks I want nothing
to do with, called the casino
stocks, and I believe that the
PENN deal won't get done.
I want you to sell Wynn Resorts (WYNN)...
I want you to sell that one too.
MFC - Very reliable...
very consistent. Just kind
of like
MetLife (MET),
which I like... MFC is fine.
It is boring, but sometimes
boring can rock too. We do
not discriminate against boring
on this show...
CDE - That is one of
the worst companies I have ever
seen. All they ever do is
issue equity... If you
want to be in precious metals,
you know I'm going to send you
to
Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM)
and, yes indeed... the stock has
started to come back... people
doubted me, but they shouldn't
have...
Yamana Gold Inc.
(AUY*),
which we liked from $6, and it
then went to $19... Did we
pull the trigger to get out of it?
No, because we believe in
gold...
(buzzer sounds)...
AMD - Oh.. it went up
today. Let's sell it.
There's really nothing cooking
there. Sell, sell, sell!
As long as we've got that guy at
the helm... we are absolutely
staying away from AMD... We
don't trust it, we don't like
it... We like
Intel (INTC).
INTC is one of the major,
big-cap stocks that we have
endorsed. Why?
Because AMD is doing so badly...
SWHC - No, no, no,
no... We liked that at
$5-$6... We recommended that
during the first couple of
months of the show. We got
the double at $12...
Everyone wanted us to be greedy.
We said bulls make money, bears
make money, and hogs get
slaughtered... so we sold it and
we never looked back, and that
was good, because the earnings
have been quite disappointing.
I don't regret it. I'm not
sticking with SWHC.

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.
