Full Company Name/Comments
(see comments above for each)

SUN

43.70

na

Sunoco Inc. (SUN)

SUN -  I've got a real problem with SUN. I got a real problem with the refiners, I've been negative on the refiners for months. I think the margins have just gone caput there, I noticed that Goldman joined me in saying that Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) should be sold, sell,sell,sell. I don't like SUN, I don't like Hess Corporation (HES), I don't like VLO. I don't recommend them. If you need a refining stock that bad I'd give you Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO), which as both refining and oil in it but otherwise no to that sector.

JNPR

27.32

na

Juniper (JNPR)

JNPR -  I'm not a fan of JNPR. I'm not a fan, they're going head to head with Cisco (
CSCO), as they have for years. I think that's why the stock's done nothing, I think it's a sell, sell, sell. The only tech stocks we are recommending on the show are Apple (AAPL) and Intel (INTC) off of the the decline and fall of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD).

 

       

AAPL

183.45

na

Apple (AAPL)

See JNPR comments above for:
AAPL

INTC

23.37

na

Intel (INTC)

See JNPR comments above for:
INTC

CTV

51.04

na

Commscope Inc. (CTV)

CTV -  No, this is like a coaial, cable play...cat and dog...this is one of those things where they'll say "wait a second Jim, we're a highly specialized company". Sorry, I want to ring the register, there are too many players in that game, way to much competition.

DNA

68.53

na

Genentech Inc. (DNA)

DNA -  It is a tough one. It's a tough one because they've got a great drug in this Avastin, but it's not getting the approvals that I want. That's why I decided to recommemnd only Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD) and a half position in Celgene Corporation (CELG).  Don't buy. I'm not recommending any others, any other biotech stocks. That group has gotten too hard too. I just think it's too hard. Remember I said sell that. I stil think that BioMarin (BMRN) can go higher, but that one is getting a little long in the tooth too.

GILD

53.64

na

Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD)

GILD

CELG

na

Corporation (CELG)

CELG

GENC

31.85

na

Gencor Industries Inc. (GENC)

GENC -  This is a surprising company. We recommended this a long time ago. It's got a lot of different things, it's got asphalt filtration, it's got some construction to it, but you know what? You've got a winner and may I also recommend you take a look at Owens Corning (OC), if you like that one you would like this, because OC has got a lot of good stuff too. You've got a winner there.

OC

24.56

na

SPWR

82.30

na

SunPower (SPWR)

SPWR -  No, no, nope, nope. We are not positive on any of the traditional solar stocks that use silicate, that do not have an edge. The only one we're recommending in that whole group of them, we're certainly negative on the Chinese solars, the only one we are recommending is First Solar (FSLR), Citigroup joined me in recommending the stock today and that stock is the only name you're going to hear me recommend other than Applied Materials (AMAT), which reports next week and has a solar division.

FSLR

OSUR

5.48

na

OraSure Technologies Inc. (OSUR)

OSUR -  No, no, no. That was one of the worst misquarters I've seen in ages. I don't want anything to do with that. You've got to sell that. I don't care that it's 5 bucks, they've just missed the quarter like I've never seen a miss. Ix-nay on that one.

ENER

47.74

na

Energy Conversion Devices (ENER)

ENER -  ENER has been on a roll. It has been on a roll, but do you mind that at a 52-week-high I say that bulls make money, bears make money and hogs get slaughtered... Let's ring the register there, you've got a great win.

FITB

20.77

na

Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB)

FITB -  I don't trust the dividend. This company used to be the premier bank in the country. It has systematically beaten itself up, done many things wrong, I don't trust the dividend, I'm a seller of FITB. It's just another Ohio bank like Huntington Bancshares Inc. (HBAN) and National City Corporation (NCC) and KeyCorp (KEY) that didn't know what they were doing!

GTE

5.49

na

Gran Tierra Energy, Inc. (GTE)

GTE -  Oh boy, that is problematic security. I've got so many great oil and gas stocks, you've just had a huge run in this and I'm gonna recommend that you swap out of that stock and get into Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK). I think CHK is great. XTO Energy Inc. (XTO*)... on the way down.  Devon Energy (DVN)... I was on the Devon call, I don't know what people didn't like about it. That was a monster good one. Halliburton (HAL) for the natural gas drill and don't forget Nabors (NBR). I think all of those are less specular leaders and therefore more right at this time.

CHK

NSC

61.90

na

Norfolk Southern Corp. (NSC)

NSC -  Listen pal, you can't go wrong on a railroad. I like NSC but, of the four, I like it worse though...I like CSX Corp. (CSX) as number one because Michael Ward, because he is unbelievable... he is the CEO... (buzzer sounds)... He is a railroad's man of all railroads men. Secondly, I like Union Pacific Corp. (UNP), because that's got a great Californian branch and they're knocking the cover off the ball, but they still have room for more expansion. Then I like Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNI), because they have the best business out of the powder river basin with clean coal. And only then,  will I recommend NSC because, believe me, that is the worst house in a great neighborhood, which is better than 99% of the houses out there.

CSX

IPI

50.06

na

Intrepid Potash (IPI)

IPI -  That's a tough one. That group is good, that's a pure play, but I've got to tell you, I am ranking them again. Potash had a bad week, Mosaic (MOS) has come down. I like Potash (POT) more than I like yours. Sell, sell, sell. I think IPI is good, but I wanted you to get in on the IPO, if you're not in the IPO, I think you take your game and move on.

POT

MLNX

16.40

na

Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. (MLNX)

MLNX -  MLNX: We looked at MLNX in honor of it's 60th anniversary, and did not find anything... it was a semiconductor supply story. We didn't think there was anything that was that compelling. I am not a buyer of that one, don't buy. Again, Ormat Technologies Inc. (ORA), big piece of merchandise, done in the hole...by Lehman Brothers, ater the close...pull the trigger on ORA at the opening on Monday.

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.
