MEOH - You know, I've
got to tell you, this stock has
been cheap for so long, I don't
know what to say...
Honestly, it's been so cheap,
bit it's like Georgia Gulf
(GGC)...
No, it's better than GGC...GGC
is really a disaster... I don't
know... I can't get behind it.
I'm still struggling with
getting behind
PPG Industries (PPG)...
This chemical group is a
conundrum... So let's do
this... Let's just go with
DuPont (DD)...
now under $50, with an
ag play... And let's go with
Dow Chemical (DOW),
which we recommended at $37, and
I reiterate here and is doing
everything right. That's
my take... Sorry, I'm not
going to go out (on a limb) with
the MEOH.
SYNA - Oh
touchscreen... touchscreen
stuff... I am not a fan of that
kind of technology... I think
it's too commodity... don't buy,
don't buy... I'm giving
you a don't buy on that...
DM - Oh, we had this
before... This is
specialized business
publications... I liked it
when it came public. I
spoke positively about it, but
now... (bear sound)... Anything
media... anything media is
no-go... and any strength in
media is a sell. And, by
the way,
Disney (DIS)
is not a media company.
It's a proprietary business
entertainment company, so I'm
not lumping it in... And, may I
just say for the record... Bob
Igor (CEO of DIS).... great
quarter.
TSO - No, no, no...
we're not recommending any
refinery stocks here, including
Valero (VLO)
or
Western Refining
(WNR).
This business has terrible
margins. The margins were
good for about three years, and
then that's all over... These
companies are being squeezed...
When you see oil going up, it's
not even good for them. I
don't want any refining stocks..
sell, sell, sell... If you
insist on owning a refining
company, may I suggest you buy
Marathon Oil (MRO),
which has refining and oil
properties... One of the reasons
why it's the year of natural
gas, and we like natural gas so
much is because they don't have
any refining!
SIRI - There are going
to be some earnings soon, but
let me just tell you
something... I have had
it! I want everyone to go
to the FCC's website, and that
meeting, and say, enough!...
It's an outrage! My take
is SIRI should be bought!
I've been sticking with that the
whole way! There's only
one government organization
standing in between what 18
million consumers want.
What are they doing? What
is this? Is this some sort
of top secret thing that has to
be blocked? I don't get
it!...
WWE - I was concerned
when I saw the quarter... until
I saw the replay of
Fast Money... Now,
here's the deal... Linda McMahon
(CEO) came on and told a great
story. The New York Times
pants-ed them by saying that they boosted the
dividend to enrich themselves...
wrong! They boosted the
dividend for everybody but
themselves. The number was
fine. The yield is 8%.
After listening to Linda, and
listening to what Macke said
about it... he's a good judge of
things... I say it's two thumbs
up again, WWE... I think
she came on the show to
straighten things out, and she
did... Fast Money rocks
and so does WWE...
AKAM - Good
quarter, AKAM... It speeds
up the web, but I don't get
it... You know what?
We know that old technology,
which is part of AKAM, doesn't
work, including our friend...
Cisco
(CSCO).
What we like is new technology,
which includes
Eaton (ETN)
and
Parker Hannifin (PH)...
(buzzer sounds)... No. I
think you should take profits in
AKAM... Sell, sell,
sell... But you know I don't
like tech... I like
Intel (INTC),
off of
Advanced Micro Devices
(AMD)'s
falling apart... I like
Apple (AAPL),
with the
Synchronoss (SNCR)
news today, about the start-ups
in
iPhones... I say buy
that one... I like Research
In Motion (RIMM),
but I'm not pounding the
table... I like new
tech... I'd rather own ETN and
PH... I'd rather own
Harsco (HSC)...
I'd rather own
Joy Global (JOYG)
on this decline... Those
are my favorites...
OKS - I've always
liked OKS... that's a good
situation. A nice
conservative name... By the way,
while I like
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners
(KMP),
I like
Enterprise Products Partners (EPD)
too, and that was when I liked
it at $28, and it went to $34.
I love those stocks and I like
the yield... I'm amorous
with them...
SPAR - No, no...
You're talking about an
underperformer... you're talking
about a company that, frankly,
cannot deliver in this
environment. Way too
speculative. I'm not going
to bless it. I'd rather
have you buy the
FORD Preferred (F-PA)...
That's going to give you a good
yield, and it's going to make it
so you can sleep at night, which
you can't do with SPAR... I'm
sorry...

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
