LVLT - I'm torn on
this one... First of all, people
know that I made it a
speculative stock of the year
last year. It went up, and
then it went down, and then it
had a series of really bad
quarters... This last
quarter was the single-best
quarter that LVLT has reported
in years, okay... this one that
just happened. But, this
company has hurt us so badly,
that we need to see another
quarter... Now, I know
there are people emailing me
saying, Jim... at $2.20 to 3.20,
how could you miss this move?
I say, listen, I never left the
stock. I just don't want
to push it anymore... I
see the stock creeping up to
$3.20. I can say this
about LVLT... It will not get my
blessing or my push until they
deliver two good quarters...
because they delivered three bad
quarters, right after I
recommended it, and I really
felt very stung by it... I am
not going to recommend LVLT,
until I see another good
quarter.
POL - Vinyl play...
vinyl is very hard. Vinyl
is a very hard business.
It's levered to all sorts of
prices of crude and energy...
No. We're not buying
that... don't buy, dont' buy...
If anything, I would actually
ring the register. It's
had a nice little run.
IMMR - Another
hardware, software technology
company... I've got like 400
gazillion of those... I'm not...
I can't... don't buy, don't
buy... At this price, I know I
liked it higher... I mean, I
don't know... I've got too many
of those, and they're just not
working... I feel inundated by
them, so I'm just going to have
to say no...
S - I think
Deutsche Telekom (DT)
is going to buy S. I think
you should hold onto S. I
actually did a piece... saying,
a week ago, we thought Sprint
was worthless, with 50 million
customers... Suddenly, we
find ourselves thinking, hold
it... 50 million customers... If
DT wants to do it... They've got
a deal with
Clearwire (CLWR)...
maybe they can split the company
up... I think that S is
okay, but it's speculative...
it's speculative. I don't
want anyone thinking this is an
AT&T (T).
This is speculative.
SIGM - I feel bad...
This is another one... I thought
that it couldn't miss... because
they were the winner of that big
HD war that they had going on...
and they won, and it turned out
it didn't matter, because the
quarter wasn't there. Down
at these prices, I can't tell
you to sell it... but don't buy,
don't buy... Look, there have
been some stinky tech stocks,
okay... and, unfortunately, I
was recommending a lot of tech
for a while, and I didn't know
when to quit. I was making
so much money in tech, I stuck
with it... and SIGM didn't
work... I can't go back.
And the same thing with
Riverbed
(RVBD)...
I thought that you've got to
have some tech... Ever
since I cut back tech, and
recommended very few of them,
we've been making a lot more
money, so I'm not going and
exhuming any more tech stocks.
KOP - Oh man!... Along
with CSX and BNI and UNP and
NSC... any company that's
levered to the railroad tie
business is fantastic. We
recommended KOP when it came
public, in the $20s... I
am proud in reiterating...
(buzzer sounds)... my buy, buy,
buy on KOP!
OSK - Oh my... You
know, these guys... this was the
most reliable company in the
world. They made all these
fire trucks, emergency trucks...
and they have just... I mean,
they got involved with the
military stuff... It is so not
working. I'm not touching
OSK. You know that was one
of my absolute favorite
stocks?...

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

homework on the stock,
you should feel comfortable
